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 Dinosaur Ridge and Trinity United Methodist Church. Do your shopping at American Museum of Western Art and The Source. Go for a jaunt from Denver to Littleton to see Roxborough State Park about 48 minutes away. And it doesn't end there: identify plant and animal life at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, sample the tasty concoctions at Great Divide Brewery, take an in-depth tour of Museo De Las Americas, and relax and rejuvenate at some of the best spas.
