I believe Florissant (sp) is the petrified trees (I've never been). Florence is antiques. I'm guessing from Arvada (not sure how far north that is...I gauge everything from Mile High Stadium... ha ha) it would be more than likely 2 hours to Florence. It takes us just under 2 hours to the stadium from Penrose, depending on traffic and road work of course
which can always be a challenge. ha ha. Not sure how far Florissant would be. I think it's closer to Cripple Creek.

Anyway Florence is a cute place to hang out for the day and check out the antiques if that's your thing. Downtown is only really a couple of blocks long and they have a couple of cute restaurants but not really anywhere to stay overnight, unless you go to Canon City (10 min away).
