Denver: Mile High City, Mile High Fun!
Ah, Denver. The Mile High City. But what exactly is there to do a mile high (besides, you know, breathing a little harder)? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because you're in for a wild ride (or a relaxing spa day, we don't judge). Denver offers a smorgasbord of activities, from exploring the great outdoors to indulging in the finer things (like craft beer and legalized, well, you know...).
Nature is Calling (and Maybe Texting You)
Denver boasts one of the biggest city park systems in the US, so if you're looking for a break from the concrete jungle, you're in luck. City Park is your one-stop shop for outdoor fun, offering everything from a zoo (hello, lions and tigers and bears...oh my!) to a museum of nature and science (because, hey, even lions need to learn about the stars sometimes). Feeling adventurous? Hike or bike the 850 miles of trails that snake around the city, or rent a kayak and conquer the mighty (well, mighty-ish) waters of the South Platte River.
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.

But Wait, There's More (Craft Beer)!
Denver is a haven for hopheads, with more craft breweries than you can shake a hopscotch at. Take a tour of a local brewery, or embark on a self-guided pub crawl through the trendy RiNo (River North Art District). Important side note: Budget some time for admiring the incredible street art scene while you're there. It's like a walking, breathing (well, not really breathing) art gallery, only with the occasional whiff of delicious pizza emanating from a nearby food truck.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
Culture Vultures, Rejoice!
Denver isn't all about beer and mountains (though, those are pretty darn great). The city has a thriving arts scene, with world-class museums like the Denver Art Museum and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Catch a show at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, or get your history fix at the Molly Brown House Museum (yes, that Molly Brown from Titanic).

Bonus Round: Day Trips That Won't Disappoint
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
Feeling like Denver's a bit too much city and not enough wild? No worries! Take a day trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park, where you can hike through stunning scenery, spot some furry (or feathery) friends, and breathe in that crisp mountain air (hopefully without getting altitude sickness). Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre is another must-see. Catch a concert under the stars in this natural wonder, or just take in the breathtaking views.
