Looking to explore a little further? Indian Hills is perfectly located to explore the best of what the Rocky Mountains have to offer. Hop onto I-70W to go deeper in the mountains to hit up Idaho Springs, Georgetown, Silver Plume, and many more historic towns. One of Colorado's main draws is Rocky Mountain National Park, which can make for a great day trip. Drive a little over an hour and a half through a dramatic canyon for a day of hiking, sightseeing, and wildlife viewing. Depending on your destination, skiing is 1-3 hours away. Locals head to Echo Mountain, Eldora (near Boulder), or Loveland (near Georgetown) for a more low-key experience. We're also within 1.5 hours of Arapahoe Basin, Winter Park, Keystone, Copper Mountain, and Breckenridge.
This location is the perfect jumping-off point for exploring the best of Colorado's mountain towns, the Rockies, and even Denver if you're missing the city life! But, of course, it's impossible to see everything in one visit, so we look forward to hosting you again after you fall in love with Colorado living.
Getting Around:
Mountain living and exploring require you to get around by car. We highly recommended high clearance 4WD for mountain driving, especially during winter. Downtown Denver is East of where you will be staying, and West you can explore the Rocky Mountains. I-70 West will take you further into the mountains, and CO-470 will take you to Golden, jumping on US-6 to get to the heart of Denver. US Hwy 285 will take you South to Conifer and beyond.
Indian Hills is a small mountain community with many nearby mountain towns to explore, including Evergreen, Morrison, Golden, Conifer, Kittredge, and Idledale. Branch out a little further, and you can reach Idaho Springs and Georgetown in about a half hour or Keystone, Winter Park, and Fairplay in just over an hour. Some of the area's best attractions include Red Rocks Park & Amphitheater, Roxborough State Park, Coors Brewery Tour, Loveland Ski Resort, A-basin Ski Area, and even Downtown Denver's City Park, Denver Zoo, and Denver Botanic Gardens are less than an hour away. Get exploring!
