15 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.

Get a sense of the local culture at Denver Botanic Gardens and Denver Union Station. Get outdoors at Trail Ridge Road and Denver Zoo. Venture out of the city with trips to River Rafting & Tubing (in Idaho Springs), Golden (Golden History Museum & Park & Jeffco Open Space Parks) and Littleton Museum (in Littleton). Spend the 19th (Sun) on the water with a fishing tour. There's still lots to do: listen to music at Denver Museum of Nature & Science, take in the awesome beauty at Mount Evans, admire the masterpieces at Denver Art Museum, and capture your vacation like a pro with an inspiring photography tour.
