29 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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Stranahan's Whiskey Distillery & Cocktail Bar and Butterfly Pavilion. Get in touch with nature at Manitou Springs Incline and Emerald Lake Trail. Change things up with these side-trips from Denver: Rocky Mountain National Park (Alberta Falls, Sky Pond, &more), Adventures Out West Pikes Peak Ziplines (in Manitou Springs) and Guanella Pass (in Georgetown). And it doesn't end there: take a memorable tour with Tours, examine the collection at Denver Firefighters Museum, explore the striking landscape of Pike and San Isabel National Forests Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands, and immerse yourself in nature at Eldorado Canyon State Park.
