Black Canyon National Park, Colorado

The snow started as a rumor in the wind, bright specks drifting sideways across the rim, as if someone sifted sugar over a dark cake and then wandered off to watch. We had just wrapped up a long stint of archaeological fieldwork in Delta, Colorado, feeling chilled but content, and slipped away after the project was done for a half-day to Black Canyon National Park in Colorado before trekking home to Washington State. That first look over the edge made my stomach drop in the best possible way, like a roller coaster that never quite ends.

Colorado, USA

Colorado wears its nickname well, the Mile High State, with a steady, bright pulse. The Rocky Mountains rise in a steady procession, old stone and quick weather, and the drive itself becomes the first story you get to tell.

Bar Standard / Milk Bar / Red Room

Bar Standard / Milk Bar / Red Room

Here, the vibe lands right away. Dark but friendly. Playful yet ritualistic. You know when a room feels like it understands you, or at least your shoes. With an alley entrance off 1037 N Broadway, it feels tucked away on purpose, like a diary with a false back. The hours are clear and kind to workdays, 8 PM to 1 AM, and the policy is simple: 21+ with proper ID. You can confirm the address, entrance, and hours on the venue’s own feed, which stays current and useful, like a little lighthouse for night folk who dislike guesswork: Milk Bar on Instagram.

Torchy’s Bar Denver: Late-Night Color, Big Flavor

Torchy’s Bar Denver: Late-Night Color, Big Flavor

Denver has a few Torchy’s Tacos, and the energy is bright in each. The downtown-adjacent spot at 1085 N Broadway is a go-to, especially if you float between Capitol Hill and Civic Center after sundown. For those of us in the local Goth community, it's a great hot spot as it's right out front/next door to Bar Standard/Milk/Red Room and great for pre-drinks Goth Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. It has indoor tables, a full bar with a long counter, and the soft clatter of people winding down. According to reviews for the Broadway location, it runs late enough to catch a second wind, typically open until 10 PM. That suits the late-night bite crowd, the ones who need one more good thing before home.
