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.

For shopping fun, head to Tattered Cover Book Store Colfax or Boulder County Farmers Market. Discover out-of-the-way places like Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey Tour and Snowy Peaks Winery. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Denver: Estes Park (Dancing Pines Distillery, Rock Cut Brewing Company, &more), Left Hand Brewing Company (in Longmont) and Rocky Mountain National Park (Alberta Falls & Bierstadt Lake). And it doesn't end there: learn about winemaking at Balistreri Vineyards, examine the collection at Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art, partake in some friendly competition at Denver Inside and Out, and wander the streets of 16th Street Mall.
