The obvious allure, in terms of outdoor activities in Denver, is the Rocky Mountains. The breathtaking view provided by the natural wonder of this mountain range can hardly be surpassed.

Denver’s Art Scene
Monday, October 4th, 2010 at 9:44pm. 477 Views, 0 Comments.
While you might not have guessed it back in the 1960s, today Denver is one of the most diverse and interesting artistic centers in the entire United States. Back then, there was only a single contemporary art gallery in the city, a rather disappointing thing since Denver is one of the largest cities in the Rocky Mountains.
Today, it’s an altogether different story, however. Today, there are plenty of small galleries located at various points throughout the city. On top of that, though, is the Museum of Contemporary Art. This is the cultural and artistic center of Denver in many ways. Here, you’ll find international works of art on the cutting edge, and the exhibits often receive national or even international attention.
It’s not just the Museum of…

In many ways, Denver is an all-natural outdoor utopia. Whether you’re into fishing, skiing, biking, hiking, rafting or almost any other outdoor sport, Denver is the place to do it. Denver’s also a great town when it comes to what is perhaps the outdoor sport that most lends itself to scenic views and natural terrain: golfing. In fact, some of Denver’s best golf courses are simply designed around natural obstacles, rather than cut into the land as is so common in many other areas.
If golf is your thing, then Denver is the place to be. Here are some of Denver’s best golf courses:
- Overland Golf Course. Located at 1801 South Huron Street, this golf course is one of the oldest in the city. It’s earned its place among Denver’s best golf courses, in part, because…

Denver is one of the most historically rich cities in the entire nation. From the gold rush days through the present, Denver has made its mark on the Western landscape. There have been highs and lows, from ghost towns to economic booms, and the Centennial State has over and over again shown its resilience. Visiting historic Denver sites can give you a real feel for the spirit of this amazing city.
Where it All Began
