3 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.

Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Dinosaur Ridge and National Ballpark Museum. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Lookout Mountain and Boulder Creek Path. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Denver: Boulder (Mesa Trail & Eldorado Canyon) and Eldorado Canyon State Park (in Eldorado Springs). There's much more to do: examine the collection at Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art, steep yourself in history at Center for Colorado Women's History at the Byers-Evans House, experience the excitement of Colorado Railroad Museum, and grab your bike and head to Mount Falcon Castle Trail.
