Denver Travel Guide: Essential Information for Visitors

Denver captivates visitors as the gateway to the Rocky Mountains, where urban sophistication meets outdoor adventure in a city perfectly positioned between the Great Plains and majestic peaks. Explore the vibrant downtown area with its craft breweries, farm-to-table restaurants, and the impressive Denver Art Museum, then venture to nearby attractions like the historic Larimer Square with its Victorian architecture and upscale shopping. The city's proximity to world-class skiing in Aspen and Vail makes it an ideal base for mountain adventures. Denver's thriving craft beer scene has earned it the nickname 'Napa Valley of Beer,' with numerous breweries offering tastings and tours, while the city's diverse food culture reflects its Western heritage and modern innovation. The stunning mountain views visible from the city create a dramatic backdrop for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and exploring nearby Red Rocks Amphitheatre. With over 300 days of sunshine annually and easy access to natural wonders, Denver perfectly balances urban culture with Rocky Mountain adventures.

Why spend the night in Denver when you can immerse yourself in the Rockies with a hiking and camping adventure? Camping and hiking are the best ways to truly experience the Rockies. We’ll tailor the hikes and camping locations to your group’s interests, the season, and the day of the week. In summer, we can explore higher elevations, while in fall and spring, we stick to lower, warmer areas. We’ll choose scenic spots, like tranquil lakes, away from heavy crowds. We typically camp close to the vehicle, with a hike on the first day and a nearby hike on the second. We provide all the essentials: food, water, camping gear, hiking poles, headlamps, and bear spray. Just bring appropriate clothing and a rain jacket. Enjoy sandwiches on the trail and a BBQ dinner by the campfire in the evening. You’re welcome to relax with drinks and anything else legal in Colorado.

I offer my tours in English, Spanish and French. This is a private tour cerified by the State of Colorado for private SUV tours. Let's explore Denver and the scenic beauty of the Red Rocks Park along with several mining towns. Imagine that Denver was once not long ago full of Cowboys and Indians who roamed the mud filled streets of Denver. Now market street and Larimer Square (the area where Denver was founded) is now several blocks of swanky restaurants and boutique stores. Leaving Denver we ascend to over 6400 feet when we visit the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater. In the park there are miles of hiking trails that are intertwined with sandstone cliffs. Rolling Stones had previously ranked Red Rocks the best musical venue in the United States. Onward, we will go up through several beautiful canyons past Evergreen and then upto Idaho Springs. From Idaho Springs we ascend to the old mining towns of Central City which once claimed to have the richest square mile in the world. .

You’ll get an opportunity to take a photo of Denver’s iconic skyline with its mountainous backdrop, from the vantage of a grassy hill. This circular route will lead you back to your starting point, after encountering statues of the freedom fighters Mahatma Gandhi, Frederick Douglass, Rosa Parks, and Sojourner Truth at the Martin Luther King Memorial.
