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.

Get some historical perspective at Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and Trinity United Methodist Church. Get in touch with nature at Frisco Adventure Park and Blue River Sports. Venture out of the city with trips to Breckenridge (Peak 9, The O2 Lounge, &more), Summit Lake Park (in Idaho Springs) and Boulder (Flagstaff Mountain & Mount Sanitas Trail). Dedicate the 29th (Mon) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. Next up on the itinerary: cast your line with a fishing tour, contemplate the long history of Denver Union Station, learn insider's secrets on a distillery tour, and examine the collection at Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum.
