10 days in Denver & Morrison Itinerary

Aptly nicknamed the "Mile-High City," Denver sits at an altitude of 1,600 m (5,280 ft) above sea level, located right where the Great Plains give way to the Rocky Mountains.

Do your shopping at Images of Rocky Mountain National Park and Aspen and Evergreen Gallery. Butterfly Pavilion and Insect Center and Red Rose Rock Shop & Dick's Rock Museum will appeal to museum buffs. Change things up with these side-trips from Denver: Brunswick Zone XL (in Colorado Springs), Estes Park (Brownfield's & Bear Necessities & Cubs) and Grand Lake (Spas & The Beach at Grand Lake). There's still lots to do: trek along St Mary's Glacier, examine the collection at Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum, cruise along Guanella Pass, and identify plant and animal life at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.
