7 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.

Your day by day itinerary now includes Echo Lake Park, Rapid Transit Rafting, Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey Tour, and other attractions you added. Explore Denver's surroundings by going to Summit Lake Park (in Idaho Springs), Colorado Springs (Garden of the Gods & The Broadmoor Seven Falls) and Estes Park Guided Tours (in Estes Park). And it doesn't end there: take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Mount Evans, explore and take pictures at Mount Evans Scenic Byway, admire the masterpieces at Denver Art Museum, and stroll through Downtown Aquarium.
