Mile High City below the Rockies
Colorado's 5,280-foot capital is a launchpad for the Rockies — craft breweries everywhere, world-class skiing 90 minutes west, and Red Rocks concerts on a natural cliff.




Light rail from airport; walk LoDo; rent a car for mountains.
Acclimatize a day before any hiking — altitude is real.
Generally safe in tourist areas. Tip 18-20% in restaurants.
RiNo for breweries; LoDo for clubs; Capitol Hill for dive bars.
