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.

Head to Denver Botanic Gardens and Bear Necessities & Cubsfor plenty of shopping. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Denver Union Station and Molly Brown House Museum. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Denver: Estes Park (Spas & Aspen and Evergreen Gallery) and Pearl Street Mall (in Boulder). And it doesn't end there: admire the masterpieces at Denver Art Museum, pause for some serene contemplation at Trinity United Methodist Church, sample the fine beverages at Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey Tour, and browse the exhibits of Arvada Center for the Arts & Humanities.
