Denver is full of street art and sculpture. Sounds like a big open air gallery! #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall

When I went there, it was almost full to capacity at the end of the game and the atmosphere was very lively. There was a wide variety of food options and they looked very delicious.

The continental divide is a place that you have to drop by on your road trip in colorado where the North South trending mountains divides the continents drainage into that flowing eastward and that flowing westward into the Pacific ocean. For travellers who love hiking, this is a great place to do your hiking where the trail Ridge road has the finest hiking trials that goes for miles and incorporates steep terrain too! This is not wheel chair friendly, as the hike up from the main road is rather steep before you reach up to the top where you will see the breathtaking views of Mountain ridges. Do also remember to bring a jacket as the wind up there is really chilly! #passionpassport #hiking #naturalwonders #nature park #colorado #rockymountains #nationalpark #america

This is an up-and-coming trendy hotel with great views and really cool amenities. It is definitely worth checking out if you are in town. But the only downside is that there is almost a contactless check in - check out (which isn’t a bad thing to everyone). It’s up to you if you prefer that style but if you want to explore there’s definitely all the freedom that comes with it as well!

Open to the environment is this airport, sitting at a higher floor you must head down to catch ground transportation. #fkyhigh

Quandary Peak is the highest summit of the Tenmile Range in the Rocky Mountains of North America and is the most commonly climbed fourteener in Colorado. It has nearly the same elevation as Castle Peak and Mount Evans. This hike can be quite treacherous as it took me a total of 6-7 hours return. You will climb approx 3,450 feet with a total distance of approx 11km. This also includes the very thin air which causes you to go abit light headed at times. But with slow and consistent speed you will be able to make it up there. Make sure you bring food and water with you as this hike is really long and tiring. You would also want to take a good break at the top of the mountain to absorb the amazing views that you work so hard for. This is a very well trekked hike, so you do not need to worry, many people come here to hike even on weekdays. This is a relatively easy hike with an increase of elevation at the top of the mountain, this isn't wheel chair friendly as you will need to climb rocks on the way up. In 2020, quandary peak is popular as one of the 14ers, you will need to ensure that you get parking slots before you go as there are new parking policies in play. #hiking #mountains #14ers #breathtaking #hikers #hikes #dayhike #view #scenic #colorado #peak #quandarypeak #denver #instaworthy #instapic #instatravel #awesome #awesomepic #nature #nationalpark

Denver Colorado is located at already above 10,000feet above sea level. Air can be really thin up here, so be slow and steady on the things you want to do. The view everywhere is magnificent and breathtaking, and of course really chilly as well. Mount Evans is one of the popular mountains to catch the beautiful sunset of colorado. Mount Evans is always happens to be one of the highest paved road in North America and the view with alpine lakes, massive granite walls and strands of twisted, ancient bristlecone pine takes your breath totally. If you are lucky you will also be able to spot mountain goats and bighorn sheep in the mountains. Driving on Mt evans, has to be extra cautious as the road do not have any barricade and it will be a long drop down below if not careful. Most of the scenic points here are wheel chair friendly but there are a few trials for the adventurous. Make sure you plan your trip and ensure that you have enough fuel and clothes as it gets really cold and also it can be a long drive up to the summit. #breathtaking #views #mountains #trail #hikes #adventure #winter #hiking #colorado #denver #gorgeous #amazing #vacation #awesomepic #instaworthy #instapic #instatravel #holiday #magnificent

The Botanical Garden in Denver, Colorado was convenient to visit because it was located in the city. The scenery inside was nice and it was spacious, so there was a lot to see. I was able to see animals like rabbits and ducks. I think there was a wedding that day, but I liked that there was a separate hall or it was spacious, so there weren't too many people. After Corona, you have to make a reservation in advance before visiting. #In the botanical garden #In the flower garden #Summer travel #Date course

Strolling through the 16th block of Denver, you can see cultural buildings and trails everywhere. Art shops, graffiti walls, financial institutions, and music centers blend together, and the city views are easy to take. Just the sky is a little snowy, bringing a touch of romance to the cold weather. This colorful cow has heard that it is very popular, and there is a corner of the library, the door of the coin museum (you can go in and visit) Brand stores, including colored shuttle buses, are a good backdrop for taking pictures. The shuttle bus that runs on this road is free. There really is nothing more central than this. It feels so economical in Denver. Going to breakfast, it started to snow outside, I couldnt think of breakfast at Union Station, people with books and cars, and the surprise trip was opened.

Come to Denver's first dinner in the United States, choose Stoic &Genuine next to Union Station, enjoy authentic seafood dinners and food and wine, with a bit of burnt-colored meat, tender green and green. Especially worth mentioning is the oysters here, from different parts of the north and south of the United States, fresh and delicious, gently sucking into the mouth full of juice, the happiness is super strong. Other Western foods are also remarkable. In the winter, you can eat soft and juicy steak, fragrant cheese dipping squid, fresh and salty sea crab legs, and fresh tape from the sea. Good white wine, freshly baked bread, disappeared in the food for the time difference.

Located in the Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre Red Rock Theatre in Colorado, USA, as the name suggests, the row of stairs can accommodate a large audience, and the three large red rocks on the slopes of the Rocky Mountain are distributed in a font, two of which are grounded. From the beginning, the momentum is extraordinary. The combination of nature and human imagination

#transportation Planning a national park adventure starting in Denver? Let’s break down how to get from the city to the soaring peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) — and how to explore it like a pro. 📍 Starting Point: Denver, Colorado ✅ Denver International Airport (DIA) is the nearest major airport ➡️ From the airport, it’s about 1.5 to 2 hours to Estes Park (the main gateway town) 🛻 Option 1: Rent a Car (Most Flexible) 🚗 Rent at the airport or in downtown Denver 🛣️ Take US-36 W through Boulder or I-25 N → US-34 W 🎯 Arrive in Estes Park, the base town for the park’s east entrance 👍 Best for: Exploring scenic routes like Trail Ridge Road Reaching less-accessible trailheads Early-morning wildlife drives and sunrise hikes 🚌 Option 2: Estes Park Shuttle (Summer Only) 🚌 Seasonal services like Estes Park Shuttle or Bustang Outrider 📍 Drop-off in Estes Park — from there, hop on the free park shuttle (Bear Lake Corridor only) 👍 Best for: Travelers without a car Eco-conscious visitors Weekend day trips 🚍 Getting Around Inside the Park 🅿️ Driving: Trail Ridge Road, Bear Lake Road (parking fills early!) 🚍 Free Shuttle: Operates late May–early Oct on Bear Lake Road — stops at trailheads like Bear Lake, Glacier Gorge, and Sprague Lake ⚠️ Limited shuttle coverage — no full-park loop 🧭 Tip: Download the NPS App for shuttle schedules + maps 🧳 No Car? Here’s a Combo Hack: Take public transport or shuttle to Estes Park Use the park shuttle system + local tours for hiking access Stay in town and walk or bike to visitor centers 🧭 Transportation Tips Recap: ✅ Book rental cars early (peak summer = high demand) ✅ Arrive at trailheads by 7–8 AM to find parking ✅ Carry a full tank of gas — few stations near the park ✅ Check Trail Ridge Road status (seasonal, weather-dependent) ✅ Download offline maps — signal is spotty in the park

Beautiful Denver and 11th avenue hostel and thx for your notebook and pencil gift…

#4月好去2025 Denver is located in the highlands of Colorado and is the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. The city itself has a dry climate and plenty of sunshine, which is very suitable for outdoor activities. I hiked at Red Rocks Park near downtown and took in the stunning red rocks and open skies. Denver's museums and art galleries are also worth a visit, showcasing local history and contemporary culture. In winter, there are abundant ski resorts, attracting ski enthusiasts to experience it. Denver has a leisurely pace of life and is full of nature, making it a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts.
