★ Insider's Guide to Denver and Colorado ★

An insider's travel guide for newcomers and visitors who want to explore Colorado, experience the best of Denver, easily visit nearby towns and see the Rockies. If you are visiting or new to Denver and have a few hours, a day, or longer to see the city's highlights, visit nearby towns or go high-country exploring, this easy to navigate Colorado & Denver Day Trips Travel Guide gives you the knowledge of a personal tour guide. The authors are an award-winning writer and her husband who have lived in the Colorado Rockies just 35 minutes from downtown Denver for more than 20 years.

Where can you take a panoramic drive up a 14,000-foot-high mountain? Which are the most entertaining museums in Denver? Why is strolling on Boulder's Pearl Street Mall so much fun? Colorado & Denver Day Trips Travel Guide has these answers and more. It's full of ideas, pictures and videos showing things to do and places to visit, along with GPS maps and the details you need to find and enjoy these places and experiences. It includes things to do right in the city, half-day trips with a car or using public transportation, all-day outings and overnights in mountain towns.

We guide you to nearby Boulder and Golden (home to Coors Brewery), on scenic mountain drives, to resort towns including Vail, to the old mining towns of Idaho Springs and Leadville, and so much more. We introduce you to jogging and biking trails, golf, skiing, river rafting and wildlife viewing. We provide information on car rentals, buses and light rail. You’ll find our personal recommendations for restaurants (with prices), and accommodations if you decide to spend a few days exploring Colorado.
