During your Denver vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Four Mile Historic Park
Four miles southeast of downtown Denver -- thus the name -- the oldest log home (1859) still standing in Denver serves as the centerpiece for this 12-acre open-air museum. Everything is authentic to the period from 1859 to 1883, including the house (a former stagecoach stop), its furnishings, outbuildings, and farm equipment. There are draft horses and chickens in the barn, and crops in the garden. Weekend visitors can enjoy horse-drawn carriage rides ($2), weather permitting. Seasonal "Heritage Events" feature pioneer-era musicians and actors as well as many food and craft demonstrations. Big events include July 4th and an outdoor theater series. Allow 1 hour.
Museo de las Americas
The only museum in the Rocky Mountains focusing exclusively on the art, culture, and history of Latinos, the Museo is worth a stop, as is a stroll through the surrounding gallery-laden neighborhood. The exhibits here change regularly, and a semi-permanent exhibit tells the story of pre-Colombian Latin America, with a replica of an ornate sunstone and exhibits on Tenochtitlan, the Aztec metropolis (on the site of present-day Mexico City) destroyed by invading Spaniards in the 16th century. In 2005, a major exhibit on folk art is being displayed. Allow 1 to 2 hours.
The Wildlife Experience
Opened in 2002 near the Denver Technological Center, this impressive $40 million museum has three foci: natural history, nature films, and wildlife art, with nine galleries of paintings, sculptures, and photography. The museum's aim is to educate visitors about conservation and the delicate balance between people and the environment, and do it in an aesthetically pleasing fashion. They accomplish the task, with such highlights as a National Geographic Channel screening room and an interactive Children's Gallery. Also here are a 315-seat Iwerks Extreme Screen Theater, a restaurant, and a gift shop. Allow 1 hour.
Chatfield State Park
On the south side of Denver, 1 mile south of the intersection of Colo. 121 (Wadsworth) and Colo. 470, Chatfield has a 1,550-acre reservoir with ample opportunities for boating, water-skiing, fishing, and swimming, plus around 20 miles of trails for horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking. Facilities include hot showers, picnic areas, a dump station, boat ramps and rentals, and electric hookups. The campground is open from May to October.
Renaissance Denver
About midway between downtown and Denver International Airport, the Renaissance is our pick for a comfortable but still somewhat elegant hotel that offers all the amenities we might want. Particularly impressive is the architecture -- a white double pyramid 12 stories high. The 10-story atrium lobby has tropical palms and fig trees growing beneath the central skylight, fountains, lots of marble and brass, and plants draping down from the balconies. Each spacious room -- among the largest you'll find in Denver -- is decorated in a contemporary style and includes an easy chair and ottoman, two phones, and a private balcony. The hotel is adjacent to now-closed Stapleton Airport, and most of its patrons are businesspeople. It's also a good choice for budget-minded tourists looking for a convenient stopover between the mountains and DIA, with lower rates than comparable downtown properties, and a location closer to the airport.
Innkeeper of the Rocky Mountains
A member of Hostelling International, this centrally located hostel is in a bustling urban area just off Colfax Avenue, within walking distance of more than 50 restaurants as well as all the major downtown attractions. Facilities include a community kitchen, lockers, laundry machines, Internet access, and a cafe. Each dorm room has no more than four beds; there are also five private bed-and-breakfast rooms in two adjacent houses. The front door is always locked and someone is on the premises all night. Under the same ownership are a nearby B&B and guesthouse, and a lodge in the Rockies.
