Places to visit
Rocky Mountain National Park
Rocky Mountain National Park covers a huge 415 square miles of north central Colorado. Denver’s proximity to this spectacular destination makes it a popular jumping off point for the park. There’s no public transport to the park, so a Denver car rental is essential. Motorists can either take a 1.5-2 hour trip from Denver via Hwy 66, or opt for a 2.5-3 hour journey via the Peak to Peak Scenic By-way. Activities include scenic drives, hiking, horseback riding, wilderness camping, fishing, and winter sports.
Estes Park
Estes Park is the Rocky Mountain National Park base camp, and is just a 90-minute drive from the Denver Airport car rental hub. Surrounded by protected land, this idyllic mountain village offers world-class outdoor recreation and pristine wilderness, served with a healthy dose of hometown hospitality. Luxuriate in upscale mountain spas, relax in front of a roaring fire, or indulge in a spot of wine tasting after a day spent outdoors. Find Estes Park nestled at the east entrance of the national park.
Boulder
With thriving arts and music scenes and easy access to the great outdoors, the quirky college town of Boulder makes for an extremely pleasant day trip. What’s more, it’s just a 30-minute drive from Denver. The University of Colorado sits at the center of town, surrounded by pedestrian malls and Victorian homes. Head to the edge of town for a bike ride along the enchanting Boulder Creek, or - on hot days - tubing on the water. In Chautauqua Park you can hike the scenic trails alongside the iconic Flatirons.
