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.

Attractions like Garden of the Gods and Mount Evans make great kid-friendly stops. Change things up with these side-trips from Denver: Colorado Springs (Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College, The Broadmoor Soaring Adventure, &more), D'Barn Reception Hall (in Longmont) and North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop (in Cascade). There's much more to do: meet the residents at Denver Zoo, admire all the interesting features of Mount Evans Scenic Byway, contemplate the long history of Denver Union Station, and push the limits with Oxotic Supercar Driving Experience.
