8 days in Denver & Los Angeles 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Photography Tours (in Estes Park) and Room Escape Games (in Loveland). The adventure continues: pause for some serene contemplation at The International Church of Cannabis, brush up on your knowledge of spirits at Stranahan's Whiskey Distillery & Cocktail Bar, explore the world behind art at Denver Art Museum, and look for gifts at Mountain Lux Candles.
