Denver Colorado
No trip to Aspen, Colorado would be complete without a visit to the
city of Denver. Less than 2 hours of driving through beautiful
mountainous terrain will get you there. Once in Denver, you'll be
transported from the old west to the new west. Denver is very
modern, artistic and classy. On the other hand, Denver is full of
active, outdoorsy people who love excitement and take risks. At
over 5,000 feet elevation, walking around the mile high city might
challenge your lungs. However, walking is the only way to get to
know the best of Denver.
