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.

Get some historical perspective at Union Station and Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Get in touch with nature at Photography Tours and Trail Ridge Road. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Denver: Idaho Springs (River Rafting & Tubing & Summit Lake Park) and Estes Park (Images of Rocky Mountain National Park & Horseback Riding Tours). Spend the 12th (Fri) on the water with a fishing tour. And it doesn't end there: admire the natural beauty at Denver Botanic Gardens, look and learn at Denver Museum of Nature & Science, examine the collection at Molly Brown House Museum, and admire the masterpieces at Denver Art Museum.
