Escape the City: Denver Adventure Guide (Part 1) 🚗🏔️

Hey, it’s Austin! Thanks for sticking around during my hiatus—I’ve been busy living life! Now, let’s talk about Denver, one of the most underrated US cities to explore. We spent 4 days/nights here over Memorial Day weekend—here’s the ultimate guide (with some unexpected twists). Bookmark this! 📍 Logistics 🏨 Accommodation: Stayed in a budget-friendly Airbnb in Commerce City (near the airport). Super clean, great views—perfect for cost-conscious travelers! 🚘 Transport: Downtown only? Skip renting a car. Exploring beyond? Rent a car! Public transit is slow/unreliable. 🗓️ Day 1: Red Rocks Amphitheatre 🎸 35-min drive from our stay. Free parking + must-see if there’s a show (the red sandstone acoustics are unreal!). Pro tip: Go early to hike the trails around the venue! 🗓️ Day 2: Garden of the Gods + Pikes Peak Cog Railway ⛰️🚂 📍 Stop 1: Walgreens (Oxygen Canisters) Bought green-canister oxygen for altitude sickness prep. 📍 Stop 2: Garden of the Gods 🌄 Free entry/parking. Otherworldly red rock formations—like Red Rocks’ dramatic cousin! 📍 Stop 3: Pikes Peak Cog Railway 🚞 Book in advance ($80-$100). Seat A = best views! Summit at 14,115 ft: Freezing even in May—pack layers! Don’t miss: The world-famous summit donuts 🍩. ⚠️ Altitude warning: Headaches hit hard—oxygen + hydration are key! 📌 Pro Tips ✅ Pikes Peak: Train sells out fast May-Aug—book early! ✅ Garden of the Gods: Less crowded at sunrise. ✅ Oxygen cans: Buy at Walgreens/CVS before heading up. #DenverTravel #ColoradoAdventures #RoadTripUSA
