The Perfect 3 Days in Denver Itinerary, Denver, Colorado
Denver. The Mile High City. The gateway to the majestic Rocky Mountains and a city with more sunshine days per year than Florida (and not a lot of humidity - thank the Lord).
Denver was once home to Wild West sensibilities - steakhouses and cowboys - but now it is more like the Austin or Portland of the Rockies. These days, Denver is hip and happening and is a must for any Colorado itinerary.
Denver may not be an obvious choice when looking for a U.S. City to visit, especially next to the likes of San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, New York, etc. but Denver has so much to offer a visitor.
Especially a visitor who, like me, loves good beer and outdoor adventures. You should definitely visit Denver, and 3 days in Denver is the perfect taster.
With its amazing and inventive beer, a young and vibrant population, some of the best Mexican food outside of Mexico, loads of biking and hiking trails, a downtown full of historic red brick buildings, and a world-class outdoor concert venue nestled amongst striking red rocks, I’m pretty sure you are going to love Denver.
It was really hard to narrow it down, but I have put together a three-day itinerary for what I consider to be the perfect long weekend in Denver, which includes all of my favorite things like craft beer, delicious food, and lots of outdoor time. ......
