4 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.

Go for a jaunt from Denver to Colorado Springs to see Garden of the Gods about 1h 25 min away. There's lots more to do: explore the world behind art at Denver Art Museum, wander the streets of 16th Street Mall, get a taste of local nightlife at Escapology, and contemplate the long history of Denver Union Station.
