4 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.

Explore hidden gems such as Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey Tour and Lookout Mountain. Take a break from the city and head to Butterfly Pavilion and Insect Center and Cherry Creek State Park. Venture out of the city with trips to Bear Creek Lake Park (in Lakewood), Eldorado Canyon State Park (in Eldorado Springs) and Boulder (Mesa Trail, Guided Electric Cruiser Bike Tours, &more). There's lots more to do: explore the landscape on two wheels at Mount Falcon Castle Trail, look for all kinds of wild species at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, get engrossed in the history at Frisco Historic Park and Museum, and explore the activities along Rainbow Lake.
