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.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like The Beach at Grand Lake and St Mary's Glacier. Get outdoors at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge and Butterfly Pavilion and Insect Center. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Denver: Estes Park (Red Rose Rock Shop & Dick's Rock Museum, Aspen and Evergreen Gallery, & more), Spas (in Grand Lake) and Brunswick Zone XL (in Colorado Springs). There's still lots to do: ski along the peaceful trails at Cherry Creek State Park, trek along Pine Creek, examine the collection at Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, and admire all the interesting features of Guanella Pass.
