8 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.

Discover out-of-the-way places like Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument and The Wild Animal Sanctuary. There's lots more to do: admire the natural beauty at Washington Park, explore the galleries of Denver Botanic Gardens, stroll around City Park - Denver, and get engrossed in the history at Littleton Museum.
