Aurora and beyond: Drive into the Rocky Mountains

Use your rental car in Aurora to explore the mountain-bound cities that sit at the feet of the Rocky Mountains, which run like a spine through Colorado. Here are three big destinations to visit in your rental car.

Denver

Colorado’s capital is just moments away from Aurora, and contains a wealth of cultural, artistic and scenic attractions. Before you drive off into the mountain peaks, take some time to visit the city’s botanic gardens and zoo, or stop by the celebrated art museum. The downtown district of LoDo is particularly cool, home to Victorian-era shopping streets and an array of popular restaurants.

Boulder

Adventure awaits in the city of Boulder, one of the main skiing and snowboarding hubs of the western US. This is your gateway to the slopes of Eldora Mountain, Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge and more.

Colorado Springs

The landscape changes as you drive south from Aurora to Colorado Springs. The Rocky Mountains are still the stunning backdrop to your trip, but hints of the desert creep into the scenery.
