What to expect
Denver Union Station
Travelers will visit Lower Downtownand learn the sordid and salacious history of Denver and they will visit Red Rocks Park, Idaho Springs, Central City and Golden Colorado. Both Idaho Springs and Central City are old mining towns. If time we may even visit Nevada City which is now a ghost town. Then we will drive back through Clear Creek Canyon and arrive in Golden Colorado. After touring through Golden we will be on our way back to Golden.
Larimer Square
We will visit the iconic Larimer Square where Denver was founded by General Larimer. Larimer Square has over 40 shops and restaurants.
RiNo Art District
RiNo stands for Riverside North and it is home to trendy art galleries and hip breweries, jazz bars designer funiture makers, winemakers and other distcraft distillers. Often there are concerts during the summerand every September street artists fill the area and paint the outside murals of many of the local businesses in the RiNo area.
Colorado State Capitol
From the RiNo area we will drive to the State Capitol where we will stop for pictures of the outside. Many clients love to go to the 15th step of the Capitlol Building where the step is marked as being a mile high. Depending on the day of the week and time we may go inside the Capitol building for a tour of the inside. This is where the govenor's office is and the congress and senate of the state.
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts
The Denver Center for the Performing Arts is one of the biggest in the US. Per capita the residents give more the performing arts center than any other city in the US;
Molly Brown House Museum
We will visit the area of Capitol Hill where the Molly Brown Museum is located. This museum was the home of Molly Brown for years. In addition, all through out the Capitol Hill area there are many old mansions and beautiful homes to see.
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater is known world wide as one of the best if not the best outdoor amphitheater to play music. The park itself is a showcase of astonishing crimson red stones that shoot out of the earth and reach for the sky. Inside the Visitor Centor you will learn about the history of the park and about all the famous music artists that have played there. In August of 1964 the Beatles played there and if you were in Denver then you could have bought a ticket for a whopping 6 dollars and 60 cents.
Idaho Springs
From Central City we will travel to Idaho Springs. Idaho Springs claims that it is the city where the gold rush began. In Idaho Springs we will stop for a quick bite and perhaps some shopping.
Central City
We will visit the old mining town of Central City and perhaps the ghost town of Nevadaville which is just next door. Central City has its old historic buildings while NevadaVille has old abandoned mines. Both are very unique and enjoyable.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
