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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Idaho Springs (Summit Lake Park & River Rafting & Tubing) and Colorado Springs (Garden of the Gods & Cheyenne Mountain Zoo). And it doesn't end there: take in the awesome beauty at Mount Evans, look and learn at Denver Museum of Nature & Science, take in nature's colorful creations at Denver Botanic Gardens, and steep yourself in history at Molly Brown House Museum.
