After lunch you can have some free time to do whatever you want within the city. My recommendation is visiting the Colorado State Capitol where if you walk up to the 13th step you will be standing 5,280 feet above sea level, exactly a mile high! Located at: 200 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80203.

Now it’s time to sit back and relax for a little while at the Cruise Room located in the Oxford Hotel where you can sit and unwind getting the 1930s experience of a cocktail lounge. It’s fashioned after a lounge on the Queen Mary, and the original chrome and neon reflect onto the wall panels depicting light-hearted “toasts” from across the world. 1600 17th St, Denver, CO 80202

It’s time to say goodnight to the beautiful Denver City. You’ve only experienced a quarter of the best things to do around Colorado. There’s many other things that you can do that aren’t within the city limits that are very enjoyable and exciting! Some of those things include driving up to any mountain, for example Mount Evans where Echo Lake is located.

Echo Lake, Mount Evans

The drive is twisty along the mountain side so it’s best if you pay attention! If you have more than a day in Colorado you should definitely see what other beautiful sceneries you can get our eyes on within the Colorado Borders, there’s plenty to do and lots to see! Enjoy Colorful Colorado while you can.
