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.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Denver: Colorado Springs (National Museum of World War II Aviation & Garden of the Gods), 300 Days of Shine (in Monument) and Flatirons (in Boulder). There's still lots to do: take a memorable tour with Tours, explore the world behind art at Denver Art Museum, get to know the resident critters at Denver Zoo, and see the sky in a new way at Denver Museum of Nature & Science.

In January in Denver, expect temperatures between 44°F during the day and 21°F at night.
