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.

Get some historical perspective at 16th Street Mall and Denver Union Station. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Butterfly Pavilion and Insect Center and Images of Rocky Mountain National Park. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Denver: Granby Ranch (in Granby), The Beach at Grand Lake (in Grand Lake) and Arapahoe Basin (in Keystone). It doesn't end there: take in the dramatic natural features at Roxborough State Park and immerse yourself in nature at Cherry Creek State Park.
