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.

Kids will enjoy 16th Street Mall and Denver Botanic Gardens. Escape the urban bustle at Mount Evans and Mount Evans Scenic Byway. Explore Denver's surroundings by going to Idaho Springs (River Rafting & Tubing & Summit Lake Park). And it doesn't end there: see the sky in a new way at Denver Museum of Nature & Science, admire nature's wide array of creatures at Denver Zoo, and browse the exhibits of Molly Brown House Museum.
