Denver & Around
Why Go?
Denver is movement. Denver is change. Denver is a cowboy town turned cosmo crazy.
As an urban center, Denver has come a long way. Sure you'll still catch a Stetson or two
walking down the 16th St Mall, but the inner-mountain West's cosmopolitan capital now
delights in a growing culinary and arts scene, plus plenty of brewpubs, great parks and cyc-
ling trails, and close proximity to spectacular hiking, rafting, skiing and camping in the
Rocky Mountains.
Thanks to a re-urbanization of the city's central core, Denver now has name-worthy
neighborhoods with flavors all their own - Five Points and River North (RiNo) for bars and
cutting-edge galleries, Highlands and South Pearl for great eateries, Cherry Creek for up-
scale glam, Lower Downtown (LoDo) for raucous partying and the Golden Triangle for
arts and theater. In all, there's a neighborhood and a vibe for just about anybody.
When to Go
Jun-Aug
Big crowds, high prices. Hot days, balmy evenings, extended daylight.
