11 days in Denver 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 Capital Prize Gold Mine Tour and Washington Park. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Denver: Fort Collins (Totally 80's Pizza & Museum & Ghost & Vampire Tours), Swetsville Zoo (in Timnath) and Chatfield State Park (in Littleton). There's lots more to do: cruise along Guanella Pass, see the interesting displays at Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum, get engrossed in the history at History Colorado Center, and get curious at Denver Museum of Nature & Science.
