24 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.

Explore Denver's surroundings by going to Winter Park Resort (in Winter Park), Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge (in Commerce City) and Rocky Mountain National Park (Sheep Lakes, Bear Lake, & more). Spend the 21st (Tue) on the water with a fishing tour. There's still lots to do: see the sky in a new way at Denver Museum of Nature & Science, relax and rejuvenate at some of the top local wellness centers, hit the best photo ops around with an inspiring photography tour, and browse the exhibits of Denver Botanic Gardens.

Expect a daytime high around 66°F in May, and nighttime lows around 43°F. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 24th (Fri) to allow time to travel back home.
