Even without a show, you can visit during the day for hiking, stunning views, and to walk the famous steps. Located about 30 minutes west of downtown Denver.

Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) — An absolute must for nature lovers, RMNP is Denver’s majestic backyard. Drive the famed Trail Ridge Road (seasonal closure), stopping at breathtaking overlooks, or hike accessible trails like the easy Bear Lake Loop. Allow a full day (1.5-2 hours drive each way from Denver) and be aware that timed entry reservations are often required during peak season.

Travel Tips

Hydrate frequently and take it easy on your first day to adjust to Denver's high altitude (5,280 feet).

Always wear sunscreen and sunglasses; the sun is intense at this elevation, even on cloudy days.

Use the A Line train from DIA to Union Station for efficient and affordable airport transportation.

Consider renting a car if planning day trips to the mountains, as public transit is limited outside the city.

Planning Your Visit

Getting to and around Denver is surprisingly straightforward, especially for a large city. Denver International Airport (DIA) (DEN) is a major travel hub, and from there, the A Line commuter train offers a direct, hassle-free 37-minute ride to Union Station in downtown Denver for just $10.50 (one-way, as of 2024). Once downtown, many attractions are easily walkable, and the 16th Street MallRide provides a free shuttle along the pedestrian mall. For venturing further into the city’s vibrant neighborhoods like RiNo or LoHi, Denver’s RTD (Regional Transportation District) public transit system (buses and light rail) is efficient, with a 1-Day Pass costing around $6 for local routes. However, a car rental is highly recommended if you plan day trips to the mountains or Rocky Mountain National Park, though downtown parking can be expensive.

Due to Denver’s “Mile High” altitude (5,280 feet), it’s crucial to plan for acclimatization. Hydrate frequently with plenty of water, especially on your first day, and avoid excessive alcohol or strenuous activity initially. Mild headaches are common, but taking it easy and listening to your body will help you adjust. Remember to protect yourself from the stronger high-altitude sun by wearing sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, and always dress in layers as mountain weather can be unpredictable, even in summer. Booking accommodations and popular tours (especially for RMNP) in advance, particularly during peak seasons, is always a wise move.
