Getting Around

There's gold in those hills. Or at least there used to be. A gold rush marked Denver's birth as a burgeoning town. That much hasn't changed. The hub of culture and commerce in the Rocky Mountain Region, Denver and the surrounding foothills are packed with attractions, cultural offerings and activities. Today the only supplies of gold left are in the more than 300 days of sunshine we get a year – but that’s just the starting point for all that Denver travel and tourism have to offer.
