5 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've added Mile High Spirits, Denver Botanic Gardens, Strange Brewing Company, and other attractions to your itinerary. Take a break from Denver with a short trip to Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, about 2 hours away. The adventure continues: see the sky in a new way at Denver Museum of Nature & Science.

For other places to visit, where to stay, more things to do, and other tourist information, refer to the Denver trip planner .

August in Denver sees daily highs of 34°C and lows of 17°C at night. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 24th (Fri) early enough to drive back home.
