Things to Do (When You’re a Little High in Colorado)

Curated Adventures from Terrapin HQ (a.k.a. Earth, Denver Side)

Cannabis pairs best with good company, fresh air, and the kind of Colorado experiences that make you say, “Is this real life?” Here’s our not-so-sober guide to getting the most out of your elevated day around Denver, Boulder, and the Front Range.

For the Nature Fiends

(Because THC hits different at 5,280 feet)

Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre – Hike it by day, concert it by night. Everything’s more majestic with a buzz.
Chautauqua Park (Boulder) – Take a mellow wander through the Flatirons. Don’t forget snacks.
Sloan’s Lake – For those who like their walks easy and their people-watching elite.
Flagstaff Mountain – Scenic drives, swoon-worthy sunsets, and some of the best high-dea brainstorming you’ll ever have.

Art, Music & Culture (Highbrow Meets High High)

Meow Wolf Denver (Convergence Station) – Like stepping into your most psychedelic dream. Except real.
Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art – Weird, wild, and worth the wander.
First Fridays on Santa Fe – Local art, street food, and a thousand ways to say, “Whoa.”
Live Music at Cervantes or Fox Theatre – Jam bands, hip hop, indie rock—pick your potion.

Feed the Munchies (Seriously)

Illegal Pete’s – The post-sesh burrito wrap hug you didn’t know you needed.
City O’ City – For stoner-friendly vegan grub and serious late-night vibes.
The Cherry Cricket – Burgers built for weed-fueled Frankenstein customization.
Torchy’s Tacos – Wild taco combos that somehow make perfect sense when high.
Sweet Action Ice Cream – The name says it all.

Low-Key & Chill Options (for when the sativa hits too hard)

St. Julien Hotel & Spa (Boulder) – Hot tubs, robes, and an excuse to pretend you’re fancy.
Cheesman Park – Find a tree. Lay down. Watch the clouds become sentient.
Tattered Cover Bookstore – Get lost in the stacks. Buy 3 books. Read 1. Worth it.
