Denver

The Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains near Denver, which is not only the largest city in its own state of Colorado, but also the biggest population centre in the entire Rocky Mountain region. The Mile High City is an essential stop on any RV journey across Colorado. Talented sports teams, over 200 parks, and approximately 300 sunny days per year are just a few reasons why Colorado's state capital has become one of the fastest growing American cities.

Denver also stands within easy driving distance of many other popular Colorado destinations. Boulder is 30 minutes away and a few more hours of westward driving will lead to the iconic ski resorts of Aspen and Vail. However, the state's most famous peak, Pikes Peak, towers over its second largest city, Colorado Springs, directly south of Denver. Hikers and music lovers will want to head west of Denver to the Red Rock Amphitheater. Countless musicians have performed around this venue's signature high red sandstone walls.

Weekend visitors can enjoy horse drawn carriage rides past the park's period farm equipment and buildings. The Molly Brown House, constructed in 1889, is named after the most famous woman aboard the Titanic.
