WELCOME SUNRISE OVER DENVER

Dawn lights the prairie grasses on the High Plains to the east of the city. The morning sun shimmers on the lakes at Washington Park as dog walkers and runners greet the day. A bald eagle looks out from a tall tree. The gold dome on the Colorado Capitol Building gleams. People sip coffee and tea on a sun-warmed patio under ever-present blue skies. Rainbow trout move toward shallower waters in the South Platte River. Streams of bikes cruise up and down the Cherry Creek Trail. As the air warms, honeybees on the rooftop at the historic Brown Palace Hotel & Spa leave their hives to forage at Denver Botanic Gardens. The sandstone monoliths at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre rise from the foothills in burnt orange and warm amber hues.

Under the mid-morning sun, the snow-capped Rocky Mountains to the west are in fine focus now, steadfast and welcoming. It’s the start of a perfect Denver visit!

“As Mayor of the City and County of Denver, it’s my honor to welcome you to our vibrant city. From the beauty of the Rocky Mountains to the energy of our bustling downtown, the possibilities of discovery and adventure are endless. We hope you create great memories during your stay and we look forward to seeing you again soon!”

— Denver Mayor Mike Johnston

It’s on every music lover’s bucket list, an acoustically impeccable, 300-millionyear-old outdoor amphitheater that draws the biggest legends. What’s a performance like at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre?

The mountain breeze delivers the melody straight to your heart and, for a moment, you’re flying, chills running up your spine as the moon casts its glow on the imposing sandstone monoliths and the stars twinkle their applause. The world is limitless. Because if there’s music like this, in a place like this, where we sway together under an indigo sky, then truly anything is possible.

On select Saturday mornings from late spring through August, Yoga on the Rocks is a magical way to start the day, where people unroll yoga mats, fill the stands and practice the most awe-inspiring sun salutations.

There’s a range of concessions at the venue, and you can bring in your own food in a clear gallon plastic bag. For a pre-show meal with a panoramic view, dine at the Ship Rock Grille.

EXCITING SPORTS BARS Empower Field at Mile High

INSIDER TOURS Take a “Behind the Seams” 80-minute tour to get an in-depth look at Coors Field, one of the nation’s premier ballparks. As Major League Baseball’s highest elevation field, it’s loved by hitters because the balls fly farther in the thin air, requiring an enlarged outfield to compensate. The row of purple seats in the upper deck of the stadium is exactly 5,280 feet above sea level.

One of the finest baseball collections in the world is located near Coors Field at the National Ballpark Museum. Highlights include a tribute to Colorado

baseball history, seats from the classic ballparks, one-of-a-kind baseball artifacts, autographed jerseys, baseballs, uniforms and bats.

The Colorado Sports Hall of Fame is a free museum, honoring Colorado sports legends, located at Empower Field at Mile High.

For a fee, you can also take a 75-minute stadium tour to see the “back of the house” where the Broncos and major musicians play.

Ball Arena, home of the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Mammoth, can morph from a sports cathedral to a concert hall. The arena once hosted games for all three of its teams in the same 24-hour period. Take a tour to learn more. Hint: For much of the year, there’s ice under the floorboards.

With tons of big-screen TVs, Tom’s Watch Bar at McGregor Square is a must-visit for sports fans.

It’s located across from Coors Field. Viewhouse

Eatery, Bar & Rooftop

is just down the street and offers great views of the city and mountains, and terrific meals, snacks and beverages. Founded

by U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper (also the former Colorado governor and mayor of Denver),

Wynkoop Brewing Company is a landmark pre- and post-game destination for a pint of craft brew and a hearty meal. Other favorites are Henry’s Tavern,

Stoney’s Bar and Grill

and, for passionate soccer fans, The British Bulldog.

BIKE TRAIL NETWORK

©Epic Mountain Express

The city has 850 miles of paved, off-street biking and walking trails.

The Cherry Creek and the South Platte River trails are the two most important arteries. They follow Denver’s major waterways and converge at Confluence Park. Both are protected from cars and connect downtown Denver with many neighborhoods. The bike trails merge with a larger network of trails that lead to the foothills to the west, plains to the east, and north and south of Denver. The 71-mile High Line Canal Trail is one of the longest urban trails in America and offers a mix of terrain. A great ride for families is the first 6.5 miles of hard-packed dirt trail in Waterton Canyon. It’s also the start of the 486-mile Colorado Trail where only the toughest and most prepared mountain bikers can ride all the way to Durango.

It’s a world-renowned, life-changing adventure.

MOUNTAIN TRANSPORTATION You don’t have to rent a car in order to get to the mountains. The Colorado Department of Transportation has a few bus routes, such as the Bustang with a daily west-bound route to Glenwood Springs with stops in between. There’s also the winter Snowstang service to several ski areas and a year-round express service called Pegasus. Private shuttle companies like Epic Mountain Express and Peak 1 Express provide service from Denver International Airport to the ski resorts.

Confluence Park ©Nikki A. Rae Photography

EPIC TRAIN RIDES Train rides provide unique access to some of the most spectacular scenery. From April to October, travel from Denver to Moab, Utah, on the Canyon Spirit and see mountains, deserts and striking rock formations. In the winter, the Amtrak Winter Park Express ski train connects Denver to a world-class resort. Go back in time on the narrowgauge Georgetown Loop. See the astounding Devil’s Gate High Bridge and take in the Rocky Mountain views. Or go for an authentic 45-minute steam locomotive ride on the Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad that chugs its way through the old Cripple Creek gold-mining district.

The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway is the highest cog railway in the world and it has carried passengers to the summit of Pikes Peak since 1891. Considered by many to be the most spectacular stretch of rail in America, the Royal Gorge Route Railroad clings to a narrow ledge while the canyon walls rise 2,000 feet above.

NEIGHBORHOODS

SUNSET OVER DENVER Watching the sunset over the Rocky Mountains is a spectacular way to end the day and look forward to the next. There are perfect vantage points all over the city.

Every evening, people gather on a hill overlooking the soothing rapids at Confluence Park where Cherry Creek merges with the South Platte River. Or they toast each other from patios or lofty perches at rooftop bars. As the day winds down, Denver’s evening energy emerges, signaling a truly magical night ahead. Head up to Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre to attend an evening concert. Listen to the notes while sitting among stunning sandstone monoliths. As you watch the valley darken, the lights will beckon you back to the city.

BEST VIEWING SPOTS

• Confluence Park • Sloan’s Lake Park • City Park • Cheesman Park • Ruby Hill Park • Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre • Washington Park • Zuni Street and West 26th Avenue
