Denver Solo Trip (Car-Free Guide) πŸšΆβ™€οΈ

I squeezed in 4 days of exploring Denver after a work conference in late Aprilβ€”no rental car needed! The highlight? A guided day trip to Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) 🏞️ that blew my expectations! πŸšΆβ™€οΈ Itinerary DAY 1: Downtown Walk 🐻 Big Blue Bear β†’ πŸ›οΈ Larimer Square (vintage shops!) β†’ 🏭 Dairy Block β†’ πŸš‰ Union Station β†’ πŸŽ’ REI Flagship (converted train factory). DAY 2: Art & Culture 🏨 Populus Hotel (eco-chic!) β†’ πŸ›οΈ Colorado State Capitol (free tours + golden dome views!) β†’ 🎨 Denver Art Museum (check free days!) β†’ 🌡 Botanic Gardens (Uber required). 🏞️ RMNP Tour Review I almost skipped itβ€”glad I didn’t! Our guide went the extra mile (literally!) to spot wildlife: 🦊 Fox family near the park entrance 🦌 Elk, deer, and more inside the park πŸ’° A prospector in our group even showed us his vial of gold flakes (mined from the Rockies!). Why tour? βœ… No stress driving solo βœ… Expert wildlife spotting βœ… Safety in remote areas 🍜 Food Hall of Fame (and Shame) ❀️ RED LIST (Must-Try!) πŸ₯’ Star Kitchen – Legit dim sum with carts! πŸ– Moobongri Soondae – $17 spicy pork neck stew (huge portions!). πŸ§‹ Milk Tea People – Best cheese foam drinks (colleague smuggled one to the airport!). πŸ₯ž Snooze – Fluffy 3-flavor pancakes (perfect sweetness). 🍽️ Earls – Solid "white people food" (great for biz meals). πŸ–€ BLACK LIST (Avoid!) 🍜 Jinya Ramen – Overhyped, awful noodles (only drinks/sides were edible). πŸ› Aloy Modern Thai – Too sweet (takeout fail). πŸ’‘ Next Time, I’ll… ❄️ Soak in hot springs with mountain views πŸ€ Catch a Nuggets game at Ball Arena πŸ”οΈ Hike Red Rocks + Pikes Peak #DenverTravel #SoloTrip #RMNP #FoodieFails #NoCarNeeded
