Traveler advice
Getting around
Scooters
Scooters (Lime, Lyft) are available and make getting around very easy. Just be careful about no parking zones around town (it will show you in the app).
What to pack
Sunglasses and a hat
Denver is known for being incredibly sunny and that sun is even stronger a mile above sea level. Grab some sun screen once in town as well.
