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.

Get out of town with these interesting Denver side-trips: Colorado Springs (Cheyenne Mountain Zoo & Garden of the Gods) and Cave of the Winds Mountain Park (in Manitou Springs). There's still lots to do: look and learn at Denver Museum of Nature & Science, steep yourself in history at Denver Union Station, get a taste of the local shopping with Denver Botanic Gardens, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Trinity United Methodist Church.

For more things to do, other places to visit, where to stay, and other tourist information, you can read our Denver visit planning website.

In March, daily temperatures in Denver can reach 55°F, while at night they dip to 29°F.
