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.

You'll visit kid-friendly attractions like Garden of the Gods and Denver Botanic Gardens. Explore Denver's surroundings by going to River Rafting & Tubing (in Idaho Springs) and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (in Colorado Springs). There's much more to do: get a new perspective on nature at Denver Museum of Nature & Science, stop by Dardano's Shoes, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Denver Zoo, and admire all the interesting features of Mount Evans Scenic Byway.
