15 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.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Denver: Rocky Mountain National Park (Many Parks Curve Overlook, Trail Ridge Road, &more), Estes Park (Elkins Distilling Co., Photography Tours, &more) and Colorado Springs (Garden of the Gods, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, &more). Pack the 26th (Sat) with family-friendly diversions at Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. And it doesn't end there: get a taste of the local shopping with Denver Botanic Gardens, explore the world behind art at Denver Art Museum, cruise along Pikes Peak - America's Mountain, and contemplate the long history of Denver Union Station.
