Dark Skies
If you really want to see the full beauty of the universe above us, you need to get somewhere really really dark. Luckily, in Colorado, we have a few places that are certified Dark Skies by the International Dark Sky Association. Even just getting a few miles out of the surrounding Denver Metro Area can provide a relief from light pollution and give you a much better glimpse of the Milky Way and many more stars and constellations.
