     Looking for a way to turn Denver into a giant game board? Urban Adventure Quest has created a family-based scavenger hunt that combines the fun of the amazing race with a three-hour tour of Denver. Guided from any smart phone, groups make their way among well known and overlooked gems of the city, solving clues and completing challenges while learning local history. The adventure begins at the state capitol and takes you on a well designed course through some of Denver's art and culture, among shops along the 16th Street Mall and through courtyards and buildings steeped in rich Denver history. The tour requires approximately 2 miles of walking and uses the free 16th street mall transportation at one point in the game. Using a smart phone as 'the guide' allows teams to start when they want and determine their own pace of play. Stop for lunch midway or an ice cream on the Mall - why not, it's your schedule? Offered at a fixed price for a group vs. per person pricing, this city tour/game offers a great value to those on a budget. Register @ www.UrbanAdventureQuest.com. (less) ... Read more

  At Mad Adventures we offer whitewater rafting trips for most all ages. On the Colorado River, we specialize in family- and group-friendly trips. If you are wanting to experience whitewater rafting for the first time with your children, have a family reunion, or just want to see beautiful terrain from a river perspective, book a half day, full day or an overnight trip. Winter Park and Steamboat Springs are only 45 minutes away so you can be on the river and back home before it's campfire marshmallow time. Clear Creek has family friendly sections and more adventurous sections. Per mile, Clear Creek has more rapids than most rivers you might raft. This creates very exciting trips, even on the family-friendly sections. Clear Creek's location near Denver (35 minutes), Winter Park (45 minutes) and Breckenridge (45 minutes) makes it an easy choice for rafting without lots of driving. (less) ... Read more
