A solid 6-hour drive from Denver, but well worth it. Santa Fe is a magical place known for art, food, history, and more. You could easily spend days exploring the downtown area. One our of top 10 small cities in the US to visit.
Taos may not be on your radar, but should be. Taos is a small, artsy town known for its food, art galleries, and a nearby skiing. Great place for a weekend road trip.

Ok, this one is a little far away from Denver, but if you haven't been to Jackson Hole, you gotta go. Jackson is a beautiful bowl in the midst of the Teton Mountains. World-class skiing, food, hiking, and animal-watching are at your finger tips. We highly recommend a "safari" to have a guide point out all the amazing wildlife in the area.

A little far from, but Sun Valley is an awesome road trip Denver for summer hiking or winter skiing. The towns within the valley have great views and food.

Continue on I-70 through the Rockies and you'll eventually get to Moab. Known for amazing rock-formations, we consider Moab a must-see destination in the US.
