Whether you enjoy a casual stroll through a park or a tough hike through the mountains, outdoor adventure abounds in Denver. Take a short drive outside the city for the ultimate skiing experience. There are plenty of slopes to explore when you take in one of the most popular activities in Colorado. If you visit during warmer months, find your way to one of Denver’s beautiful trails. Visit Red Rocks Park for the opportunity to wander through meadows and admire spectacular views of the city from over 6,000 feet above sea level. This open-air amphitheater is a hot spot for concerts throughout the year, known for its unique red sandstone structures. If you’d prefer to bike your way through Red Rocks, you can do that too. Cycle, walk, hike, or catch a concert at one of the best spots in the city.

After your adventures on the trails, spend some time exploring Denver’s downtown area.
