3 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.

Clear Creek Rafting Company has been added to your itinerary. Start off your visit on the 30th (Sun): get a new perspective on nature at Denver Museum of Nature & Science, then view the masterpieces at Denver Botanic Gardens, and then relax and float downstream with a rafting and tubing tour. Get ready for a full day of sightseeing on the 31st (Mon): let little ones run wild at Foster's Place Playground, then take in the awesome beauty at Mount Evans, then take a memorable drive along Mount Evans Scenic Byway, and finally head outdoors with Clear Creek Rafting Company.
