Denver, Red Rocks, and Beyond
This Denver day trip starts with a city tour that takes you past Denver’s highlights like the Denver Performing Arts Complex, Colorado Convention Center, Civic Center Park, and Denver Art Museum.
We’ll drive by Cheesman Park, the historic Five Points neighborhood, and on down Colfax Ave (the longest street in the country), and take our first stop at City Park, with its picturesque city skyline and mountain backdrop.
You’ll view funky murals in the thriving River North (RiNo) Art District, pass Coors Field, and grab coffee and empanadas at a local favorite hotspot.
Then, it’s time for a 30-minute scenic drive to the iconic Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater. We’ll drive through the park, take in the stunning rock formations, and get out to explore the world-famous amphitheater (if open). We finish up with a quick stop at Lookout Mountain for a breath of crisp mountain air and panoramic views of Denver, Golden, and the mighty Rocky Mountains before returning to Union Station.
