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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Colorado Springs (Garden of the Gods & Cheyenne Mountain Zoo) and Flatirons (in Boulder). There's lots more to do: see the sky in a new way at Denver Museum of Nature & Science, take a stroll through 16th Street Mall, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Denver Zoo, and get up close and personal with brilliant marine life at Downtown Aquarium.
