Denver: Mile High City, Mile High Fun!
Ah, Denver. The Mile High City. But is it all about altitude sickness and questionable decisions at the dispensary (don't worry, we'll get to that)? Heck no! Denver is a vibrant metropolis nestled against the majestic Rocky Mountains, offering a heaping helping of things to do that will leave you breathless (from the views, not the altitude...hopefully).
Nature Calling (But You Can Totally Chill Too)
Denver isn't afraid to get a little dirty. With the Rockies as your playground, you can hike, bike, climb, or just sprawl out on a mountain meadow and soak up the sunshine (seriously, Denver has 300 days of sunshine a year – that's more than your ex returning your texts!). Feeling less adventurous? No worries! City Park is a sprawling urban oasis, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a picnic with pals.
Calling All Culture Vultures (and Beer Enthusiasts)
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
Denver's got a museum for just about everything, from dinosaurs at Dinosaur Ridge to the quirky International Church of Cannabis (hey, it's part of the culture, right?). Art lovers will dig the Denver Art Museum, while history buffs can explore the Molly Brown House Museum (that's the "unsinkable Molly Brown" from Titanic, in case you're drawing a blank). And let's not forget the beer! Denver is a craft beer haven, with trendy breweries popping up like wildflowers in spring. Take a brewery tour, or just grab a pint at a rooftop bar and enjoy the mountain views.

QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.
Denver's nightlife is as diverse as its daytime offerings. Catch a concert at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a natural rock formation that puts most man-made venues to shame. If you're feeling fancy, Larimer Square is Denver's historic district, boasting swanky restaurants and upscale bars. Or, if you're more into dive bars and local bands, head to the energetic LoDo (Lower Downtown) district.

Important Side Note: Yes, Denver has dispensaries. But do your research before venturing in, and remember, edibles take a while to kick in – pace yourself, friend!
