Downtown Denver is home to many offices and skyscrapers, but it also has a great cultural, entertainment, and shopping district. 16th Street Mall and LoDo (Lower Downtown) are the hot areas.

Denver is the capitol of Colorado and a fast growing city with lots to do. There are several museums, good restaurants and nightlife in the Mile High City, and it makes a great base for day trips.

While neighboring Idaho Springs is famous for gold mines, Georgetown, Colorado, sprung up because of its silver mines. Today, this small town nestled in the Rocky Mountains preserves its original Victorian charm and offers plenty of opportunities for shopping, sightseeing, and recreational activities. It makes for a great day trip from the Denver area.

Boulder, Colorado, a city not too far from Denver, is a great place that appealed to me the second I arrived. It’s got just about everything – a nice downtown, friendly people, great food, entertainment, sports, and nature. I couldn’t say enough good things about it.
