All About Denver
The gold-seekers and miners of yesteryear couldn't have known they were staking a claim upon what would become one of the West's most cosmopolitan cities. Sure, you'll still find some of the old rough and tumble cowboy in its steakhouses, ranches, and stadiums (Broncos football, anyone?), but you'll also find an artsy side.
Plenty of people on Denver vacations pay homage to beat icon Neal Cassady, whose boyhood home sat on Larimer Street. Plenty come to tip their hats at the performing arts center for opera, dance, and theatrical productions. Many also pilgrimage to Red Rocks Amphitheater, an outdoor music hall that's hosted acts ranging from the Beatles to Phish.
The air's a little thinner up here than most cities, but that doesn't seem to keep anyone from the possibilities of Denver's great outdoors. Abundant sunshine and pedestrian-friendly streets encourage long walks past eclectic bookshops, cupcake cafes, saloon-style beer halls, and Mexican restaurants serving up burritos bigger than your head.
Plus, with trails, parks, ski resorts, and rivers in such close range, your Denver vacation package is sure to leave your reeling from the majesty that is the Colorado Rockies.
