Are you talking about Chaos Canyon? My wife and I got lost there with some crash pads once. We never found what we were looking for, but it was an enjoyable day of scrambling.
That's probably the most popular bouldering area, though it's partially closed now due to giant rockfall. But there are places all over with great bouldering (and sport routes, but I only boulder)
The ocean is a key point for sure. Go south inColorado and you have the sand dunes and the indigenous housing carved into the rock walls, go east and you have the prairies and grasslands, go halfway west and there is the Rocky Mountains, go further west and it’s landscape mimics that of the desert with the high erosion canyons. Also, can’t sleep on Red Rocks amphitheater and Denver’s culinary options. We also have 54 mountains that are above 14,000 feet that provide views that CGI can’t even match.
Gorgeous! How's the hike out to that spot? I really want to go there, but I'm kinda clumsy with an injured ankle so I'm wondering if I'd be able to do it.
It’s long, and high elevation. You can check AllTrails for specifics. National Weather Service for weather at the top (for wind, temp, etc).
If you’re already at altitude, I’d say pace yourself and don’t go in alone. Bring water and proper gear / hat. I see many with hiking polls (often use them myself since I injured myself on a descent once).
Main thing I think is be ready to call it a day the moment it gets too hard. It will be difficult to extract you the further out you are.
[An image taken of a pristine mountain view and a lake in the foreground. The lake is shimmering in a deep green hue, with teal and blue colours blending into the water's surface with the shadows. The mountain slopes along the edges of the lake display patches of white snow with clusters of thin evergreen trees in varying shades of green. Further in the distance, the rocky faces of the mountain slopes are interspersed with patterns of white snow that line some of the rocky edges. The sky above is a vibrant blue, with puffy white clouds covering sections of it. Ths sun is shining over the entire scene as it rests just above the jagged edges of the mountain tops, slightly to the right of the image centre.]
