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 some historical perspective at Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and Denver Union Station. Get in touch with nature at Frisco Adventure Park and Peak 9. Venture out of the city with trips to Boulder (Flagstaff Mountain & Mount Sanitas Trail), Summit Lake Park (in Idaho Springs) and Robert Clement Park (in Littleton). Dedicate the 29th (Mon) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. Next up on the itinerary: contemplate the long history of Center for Colorado Women's History at the Byers-Evans House, ski along the peaceful trails at Breckenridge Nordic Center, learn insider's secrets on a distillery tour, and brush up on your knowledge of spirits at Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey Tour.
