5 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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Denver: Room Escape Games (in Loveland), Photography Tours (in Estes Park) and Colorado Springs (Garden of the Gods & Climbing Tours). The adventure continues: meet the residents at Denver Zoo, examine the collection at Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art, browse the different shops at Pearl Street Mall, and contemplate the long history of Denver Union Station.
