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.

Escape the urban bustle at River Rafting & Tubing and Off-Road Tours. Do your shopping at Denver Botanic Gardens and Images of Rocky Mountain National Park. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Denver: Estes Park (Peak to Peak Scenic Byway, Spas, &more). Next up on the itinerary: admire the masterpieces at Denver Art Museum and brush up on your knowledge of spirits at Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey Tour.
