Even though Denver gets sun nearly every day of the year, you can access snowshoe and cross country ski trails at higher elevations well into spring and summer. Borrow a pair of snowshoes and an adventure backpack complete with binoculars from the Halcyon’s gear closet before you hit the trails at Echo Lake. If you’re lucky enough to be in Denver during a spring snow, you can even snowshoe around city green spaces like the iconic Washington Park.
To get deeper into the mountains, make a day trip to Snow Mountain Ranch, run by the YMCA of the Rockies, where you can cross-country ski on groomed trails with stunning mountain views. Don’t forget those binoculars—you might see moose, fox, elk, and more. The Halcyon’s one-of-a-kind gear closet has warm-weather equipment for in-town adventures, too, like longboards, hamboards, picnic kits, bikes, scooters, and even GoPros and Hasselblad cameras to record all your adventures.
