Denver Colorado Tourism At a GlanceBest Time to Visit Denver Colorado
When you think of Denver, you more than likely think skiing. Ski season runs from mid-November to mid-April. The city sees a rush of visitors this time of year. However, when spring appears, skiiers swap their skis for mountain bikes. Outdoor summer sports activities are a big draw as well. Since there is so much to see and do year-round in Denver, there is no season that is more busy than another. Anytime is a good time to visit this Colorado gem. Click Here to find hotels in Denver.

Colorado weather is famous for its wild fluctuations--during any given season and any given day. Average high and low temperatures for a month can differ by as much as 30 degrees. But such rapid changes also mean that most weather conditions are only temporary--snow melts as rapidly as it appears. And thanks to two constants, a low relative humidity and more than 300 days of sunshine per year (more than Miami Beach or San Diego), the Denver climate is rendered quite pleasant. Average Jan High=43, Average Jan Low=16
Average July High=88, Average July Low=59 Transportation
Distance from Denver International Airport to downtown Denver: 24 Miles
Average Cost from DIA to downtown (one way):
Public Bus: $6
Airport Shuttle Van: $17-22
Taxi: $40-50
Luxury Sedan: $65-205 In downtown Denver, free shuttle-bus service operates about every 10 minutes until 11 pm, running the length of the 16th Street Mall and stopping at two-block intervals. If you plan to spend much time outside downtown, a car is advised, although Denver has one of the best city bus systems in the country and taxis are available. Even downtown, parking spots are usually easy to find; try to avoid driving in the area during rush hour, when traffic gets heavy. In-Season Costs
If you're hitting Denver during ski season, be prepared to pay a little extra - especially at the area resorts. Denver is not a high-priced city though. Travelers visiting on a budget will be able to do so without sacrificing comfort. Colorado Tourism - Denver Attractions, Activities and Day Trips
Boulder: Less than an hour from just about anywhere in Denver, this vibrant college town is set against the striking backdrop of the Flatiron Mountain range.

Rocky Mountain National Park: With over 260,000 acres of land encompassing 355 miles of trails, 150 lakes, five campgrounds and enough unspoiled beauty to last a lifetime, Rocky Mountain National Park is a nature lover's favorite. Located 70 miles northwest of Denver, this trip can be done in a day or made to last a week.Vail: Just under a hundred miles west of Denver, this famous resort town has year-round appeal.
