Botanic gardens span more than 24 acres of diverse plants from all areas of the world! It is one of the top five botanic gardens in the country and even offers a sunken amphitheater for concerts.

Transportation

Denver’s public transportation is easy, not cost prohibitive, and convenient. You can get pretty much anywhere by rail or bus, and, like all major cities in the US, Lyft and Uber are a phone tap away.

If you have extra time, you can also get around on foot, which is a wonderful way to explore and exercise at the same time!

Weather

Though Denver gets more annual sunshine than Miami, you will need a warm jacket and boots depending on what time of year you visit.

Spring

Denver's weather in spring is generally mild, with average temperatures ranging from 50 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it is important to be prepared for changes in the weather, as it can be unpredictable during this time of year. It is often known to rain in spring, so it is a good idea to pack an umbrella. Denver is an amazing place to visit in spring, and one of my favorite times of year. The weather is pleasant and there are many outdoor activities to enjoy!

Some quick tips for Spring in Denver:

Pack layers of clothing so you can quickly adjust to the changing weather
Bring an umbrella and rainwer
Be prepared for cold weather in April
Enjoy the many outdoor activities that Denver has to offer!

Summer

Summers tend to bring sun-filled days with cooler evenings due to the low humidity. The weather in Denver in the summer is generally warm and dry, with average temperatures ranging from the high 70s to low 80s. However, it can get quite hot, with temperatures reaching into the 90s on some days. There is also a chance of thunderstorms, so it is always a good idea to pack an umbrella or raincoat.

Fall

Fall is a beautiful time to visit Denver. The weather is usually mild, with average temperatures ranging from 50 degrees Fahrenheit in the morning to 70 degrees Fahrenheit in the afternoon. The leaves on the trees change color, and there are many festivals and events taking place throughout the city. Some of the best things to do in Denver in the fall include:

Hiking in the Rocky Mountains
Visiting the Denver Botanic Gardens
Attending a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Shopping at Larimer Square

Winter

The winters tend to be mild, with an average daily high of 45 degrees and occasional snowfall that doesn’t stay on the ground long. It is important to dress warmly and pack for all types of weather, as it can be sunny and warm one day and cold and snowy the next.

Mild weather is due in part to the city's mile-high altitude!
