A city that found its fortunes in the tide of gold mining back in the day, Denver City has flourished ever since. Discover the addictive western charm of the city that has drawn so many to its doors. Tour the old mines, go shopping, or spend the night out on the town, all to the backdrop of the stunning Colorado Rocky Mountains.
Back when Denver City was a hub for gold prospectors, the best choice of transportation was horses and carriages. These days, visitors usually pick out a nifty car rental to take them on their journey.
Strangely enough, one of Denver City’s recently popular landmarks is the Denver Airport itself. Other than being a reputable and reasonably good airport to visit, the Denver Airport has received a number of strange urban legends surrounding the building. The Airport has a number of odd statues around the premises such as gargoyles in the baggage area, and a huge blue horse poised rearing up on its hind legs, and the ongoing constructions have sprung up many conspiracy theories by imaginative locals. Denver Airport has taken this into stride with a number of cute public service announcements in a tongue-in-cheek CSI style. When you touch down in Denver Airport, be sure to keep an eye out for these urban legends!
Denver City is one of the best cities to embrace the outdoors. The locals make full use of nature here. Join them in doing some cycling on Denver City’s scenic bike trails! Pick up a bike from the city’s bike sharing service and hit the trails. The Greenway Trail is a good start for beginners as its paved bike path provides a level and comfortable trip. The view of the river from this path is just the icing on the cake. Want to enjoy the great outdoors without so much cycling? Try hitting up the city’s flourishing fly fishing scene. Approach a guide if you’re new to the fishing scene, and don’t forget to apply for a fishing license!
The Denver Airport is not the only place in the city with a penchant for surreal public art sculptures. In fact, when driving around in your car rental, you’re sure to notice that Denver City is studded with sculptures all around town. Marvel at the towering Blue Bear sculpture poised outside of the Colorado Convention Center. Done in a contemporary low poly art style, the bear leans peering its massive blue head into the Convention Center, keeping an endearingly curious vigil on the visitors inside. Bust a move with the Dancers statues at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. These impossibly tall fiberglass figures are positioned as if in motion, accompanied by music that is played on the speakers below the statues. With the music pumping 24 hours of the day, it’s not uncommon to find a few groovy visitors dancing to the beat themselves.
Fill up the tank of gas in your car rental and hit the road on a Denver City shopping spree! Stretch your legs at the idyllic shopping street of Cherry Creek. A huge walking district that comprises of locally owned boutiques, cafes, and galleries. Check out the Broadway Shopping District for a unique mix of vintage clothing, specialty hobby shops, and more. One thing’s for sure, you won’t get bored in Denver City!
