My second really big trip across the US '80 before I went to CS, I spent 2 days with my cousin in Denver (going to Denver Uni). He took me to Red Rocks (non event time), to Golden, and then up to Echo Lake - north east of Mt Evans/Blue Sky. I still have a few slides/photos!
Have one of the Continental Divide from Echo Lake. Being a bit of a geography buff - that was thrilling. And sooo beautiful!

Oh, just remembered looking at the photos of the AF Acdmy they mentioned The Pool. I'm going check

ETA. Wow that's an extra long pool with a totally separate diving area, away ftom the swimming lanes. And all the different diving platforms! And a very interesting architectural ceiling design, too.
