My cousin is getting married in Colorado in a town between Denver and Boulder, and I am so excited to go! I have never been to Colorado, and I have not seen that part of my family in a long time.

I have lots of reward points with Bonvoy (Marriott) and I can take advantage of paying with points for 4 nights and get the 5th night free, but should I stay in the one spot and do day trips for sight seeing, or should I change hotels and maybe see more?

A few people said the traffic and driving is a pain in the neck near Denver and Boulder, and they think I should stay near the wedding venue the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding. The wedding is in Louisville. I also was thinking maybe I should arrive two days ahead in case we need some time for high altitude adjustment. Both my husband and I have never had a problem before, but it has been years since we have been high up, so who knows. I want to be able to dance at the wedding and I live very close to sea level.

I hear really good things about Breckenridge and Vail, but if I stay the whole time in the Broomfield area I won’t drive out there just for the day.

Very interested to hear your suggestions for what to do and what to see and if you have a Bonvoy hotel suggestion that would be great. I am considering the Renaissance Boulder Flatiron, Residence in Boulder Broomfield, open to other recommendations.

Thanks!
