LoDo

Every kind of traveler can enjoy the experiences that Denver and the surrounding areas have to offer, but where to stay and what to eat are the foundation of any good trip! Take a look at the top 5 places to eat in Denver's RiNo, LoDo, Highlands and LoHi neighborhoods. In addition, ice cream is my love language. So, please enjoy a mini tour of the top ice cream spots in Denver. Finally, I have included a few dos and one don't of tourist activities at the end!

Every detail about how I pulled off a trip around the Western United States and saw some of the country's most incredible natural wonders for less than $1,300 total. 🤯 Of course, this is the exact route that we used, but there are plenty of other options to choose from. Keep in mind, this is definitely not the itinerary to follow if you are looking to spend a significant amount of time in one specific area. We intentionally planned to see some major highlights along the trip and knew going into it that we would miss a lot of what these parks have to offer.

Wanting a weekend that is the best of both worlds? This itinerary will give you both a taste of the mountains and the city. The itinerary spans from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon with more than enough options to fill an extra day. I would recommend access to a car for hiking on Saturday. Included: ▻ Hotel Reccomendations ▻ Tips for Exploring RiNo ▻ Hikes with Trail Maps ▻ Post-hike Brewery Pairings ▻ Saturday Night Evening Options ▻ Sunday Farmer's Markets ▻ Sunday Brunch Specs
