9 days in Denver & West Palm Beach 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 out of town with these interesting Denver side-trips: Pikes Peak - America's Mountain (in Cascade) and Colorado Springs (Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Climbing Tours, &more). And it doesn't end there: take in nature's colorful creations at Denver Botanic Gardens, contemplate the waterfront views at Crown Hill Park, contemplate the long history of Denver Union Station, and explore the world behind art at Denver Art Museum.
