9 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 list of things to see and do now includes Alderfer/Three Sisters Park, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, and other attractions. Escape the urban bustle at North Cheyenne Canon Park and Parasailing & Paragliding. Kids will appreciate attractions like Mount Falcon Castle Trail and Colorado School of Mines Geology Museum. When in Denver, make a side trip to see Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood, approximately Lakewood away.
