To get a little high mountain experience close to the city, try Jefferson County (Jeffco) parks. This is a favorite. There are two pakking areas. The first is woodsey and the closest access to rock scrambling or (bad-ass)mountain biking up to the Three Sisters. The second offers access as well, but also lovely mountain meadow hikes. Both offer views of Mt. Evans, Denver's closest 14er (over 14K'), snow-covered 8 months a year. Stop at Little Bear, a raunchy old music hotspot for decades in Evergreen on the way home for a burger and a beer. The twisty road to Morrison is worth the trip at least one way--deep canyon views.
