The Ultimate Denver Date Night Travel Guide

Denver is one of the best cities to visit for a quick in and out date night or solo adventure. It's a short flight from many places in the US, the transportation set up in the downtown area is superb for tourists and there are so many things to do. I've been to Denver on several occasions but my favorite way to see Denver is on a quick date night with my husband staying at the magnificent Crawford Hotel in Union Station.

Pikes Peak is magnificent any time of year. I went on a hot summer day and was transported to the top where I was met with snow capped peaks and snow covered terrain- all while it was 80 degrees in Denver below. If that's not amazing enough, a pit stop in the Garden of the Gods is sure to wow you!
