Denver: Mile High City, Mile High Fun!
So, you're thinking about hitting Denver, Colorado, but worried it's all cowboys and cattle drives? Yeehaw hold on there, partner! Denver's got more going on than a bull in a china shop (and way less mess, we promise). This city's got something for everyone, whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a culture vulture, or just a certified couch potato looking for a cool place to crash.
###Mountains Majesty, or Museum Magic?
Denver's smack dab in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, so naturally, outdoor adventures are a big deal. Think hiking, biking, white-water rafting, you name it, Colorado's got it. But if Mother Nature's not your cup of tea (or if you forgot your hiking boots, no judgement), Denver's got a ton of world-class museums. The Denver Art Museum will blow your mind with its collection, while the Denver Museum of Nature and Science is perfect for learning about dinosaurs and, well, science stuff!
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
