8 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 a sense of the local culture at 16th Street Mall and The International Church of Cannabis. Head to Denver Botanic Gardens and Pearl Street Mallfor plenty of shopping. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Denver: Maison de Ski (in Idaho Springs), Estes Park (Spas & Patterson Glassworks Studio & Gallery) and Winter Park Resort (in Winter Park). And it doesn't end there: see the sky in a new way at Denver Museum of Nature & Science, fly down the slopes at Copper Mountain, contemplate the long history of Denver Union Station, and examine the collection at Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum.
