From Larimer Square we will continue to Union Station. Union Station is the center for all public transportation in Denver. It has a 22 bus depot unter the station and is the center for trains and light rail for the city.

We will visit the iconic Larimer Square where there are over 40 shops and or restaurants in one square block. It is also the birth place of Denver. Devner was established by General Larimer in 1859 when he and several others came out here in search of gold. The rest is history.

We will see the iconic art work on the murrals of the various businesses in the RiNo neighborhoods. This has been an up and coming neighborhood that hosts many micro breweries, yoga studios, food courts, cafes and more. It has been written up numerous times as the place to visit in Denver.

We will tour Denver first and then on to Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater where we will see the famous crimson red rocks and amphitheater which is where the Beatles started their North American tour. Back then you could buy a ticket for $6.60 cents. Just about everyone famous has plaved there except for the Rolling Stones.

From Central City we will drive to Idaho Springs, where they boast "This is where the Gold Rush began". Idaho Springs is another quaint mining town where I usually stop for shopping and a quick bite to eat.

We will take America's highest scenic paved road and arrive at over 14,265 feet. On the way up you will see incredible mountain ranges and often mountain goats that tend to hang out at the top of the mountain. We typically spend about one hour at the top hiking around and seeing the famous Chicago Lakes.
