| BY TINEY RICCIARDI, @TINEYTRAILSNACKS, CRICCIARDI@DENVERPOST.COM I love Thursdays, because that means it’s almost adventure time! My younger sister is visiting this weekend for her annual “outdoorsy” vacation. Seriously, she leaves her hiking boots at my house because she only uses them while in Colorado. I’m thinking I may push her limits with a big alpine hike this year, using her recent obsession with pika videos as an excuse. Then again, we may just hit up some hot springs and practice some self-care. It is her birthday on Sunday, after all. What do you like to do when friends and family visit? Hit “reply” to share your must-dos with out-of-towners. Heads upThe weekend will be mostly sunny in Denver with highs in the low 90s. Expect it to be cooler and stromier in the mountains.
