Itinerary
This walking tour begins at the Alma Temple. This temple has an interesting and controversial past. Built in the mid 1920s, the building remains a eerie reminder of the scandals of the past. Look for the letters, "KPOF" at the top of the building.
This building, with it 24 karat gold top, is the crown jewel of Denver. Stand and the 1 mile above sea level marker, and soak in a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains. So much history.
This beautiful park is the focal point of Mayor Robert Speer's "City Beautiful" campaign. Completed in 1908, It is the center of state and city government.
This is an odd museum, at best. Although we don't go in, you will see one of the remaining pieces of the World Trade Center.
With over 70,000 works of art, the Denver Art museum, is the largest art museum, between Chicago and the west coast. See the "Big Sweep", otherwise known as the "Giant Dustpan and Broom".
This stop is a chance to try some local flavor. This deli is one of the hidden gems of Denver, but the locals frequent this place. Sit down and get a snack. Their cookies are out of this world. Food and beverages are not included in the tour price.
This beautiful art museum is truly a hidden gem. The museum highlights the works of local Denver Artists, Vance Kirkland. Although we do not go into this museum; however, it’s a recommended for our guests to later return to.
This curved building is known in Denver to be one of the most beautiful civic buildings in the city. During the holidays, this beautiful structure, becomes the center place for viewing lights.
The United States Mint, in Denver is one of 4 locations in the country. This location is the largest producer of coins in the world. We do not go into the Denver Mint.
The most historically significant home in Denver. We do not go into this house.
Fire Station No. 1 is a favorite stop on this tour. We will take a moment to go inside, and grab a souvenir. Although you will see some antique fire trucks, we will not tour the entire museum. We do not go through the museum.
The Curry-Chucovich house is the oldest remaining residence in Denver. With its Victorian charm and its scandalous past, it makes for a great photo spot.

About Denver
Denver, the Mile High City, is Colorado's capital on the plains at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, with museums, breweries and the Red Rocks amphitheatre.
Denver stands one mile above sea level on the high plains, with the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains filling the western horizon. It began as a gold-rush town in 1858 and grew with railways and mining. Union Station, a restored rail hall, anchors the lower downtown, and the Colorado State Capitol has a step on its west side marked as one mile above sea level.
Top-ranked sights in Denver: Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, Larimer Square, Dairy Block.
