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.

Appreciate the collections at Benson Park Sculpture Garden and Center for Colorado Women's History. Get in touch with nature at Roxborough State Park and Cutthroat Anglers. Get out of town with these interesting Denver side-trips: The Broomfield Bay Aquatic Park (in Broomfield), Boulder (Leanin' Tree, Mesa Trail, &more) and The Beach at Grand Lake (in Grand Lake). The adventure continues: contemplate the waterfront views at Dillon Reservoir, get active on the water at The Colorado Angler, steep yourself in history at Heritage Square Amusement Park, and take an in-depth tour of Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave.
