Three Perfect Days: Denver
Founded on a barrel of whiskey and a death threat, the Mile High City has always played by its own rules
Denver
The Mile High City is the perfect domestic getaway between the coasts. Colorado’s sunny capital is a dynamic destination with statuesque mountain views and plenty of wide-open spaces to explore.
Arrive via Union Station, where you can take in the beauty of this landmark train hub while also sourcing a bite from one of the James Beard Award-winning chefs that now call it home (we'd recommend a farm-to-table dairy dish from the Mercantile Dining & Provision, but take your pick).
For the best views of the city, and the nearby Rocky Mountains, check out the Colorado State Capitol. Or if you’re searching for a new Western wardrobe to fit in, Rockmount Ranch Wear literally invented the pearl-snap shirt. Dressed to impress, stop by Williams & Graham for a sharpener, or enjoy the street art in the RiNo Art District. To top it all off, a tour of Red Rocks Amphitheatre will bridge the city’s history of music with the majesty of its geography. The Plains don't come more flat-out alluring than Denver.
