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.

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like 16th Street Mall and Denver Union Station. Get a sense of the local culture at Denver Botanic Gardens and Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Get out of town with these interesting Denver side-trips: Flatirons (in Boulder), Pikes Peak - America's Mountain (in Cascade) and Garden of the Gods (in Colorado Springs). Next up on the itinerary: admire the masterpieces at Denver Art Museum, savor the flavors at Laws Whiskey House, contemplate the long history of Molly Brown House Museum, and glide through the air with a parasailing or paragliding tour.
