Denver: 3 Hour City Highlights Bike Tour – Denver, Colorado

EXPERIENCE

Join us for a comprehensive bike tour exploring Denver’s vibrant neighborhoods and historic landmarks. We’ll begin in the Five Points and River North Art District (RiNo), known for its diverse breweries, art galleries, and industrial buildings adorned with stunning murals. We’ll make a brief stop at the Central Market before heading out.

Our journey will take us past Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, where we can stop for a photo op. Just a few blocks away, we’ll visit the Dairy Block and Alley, a lively area with restaurants, bars, retailers, and a modern co-working space, where you can shop or grab a snack.

Next, we’ll explore Union Station, beautifully restored and revitalized in 2014 as a shopping, dining, and cultural hub. You can take a quick tour of its impressive interior.

We’ll then cross Millennium Bridge to the area where the Platte and Cherry Creek rivers converge. Here, you’ll find the largest REI store, located in a historic 1901 Denver Tramway building. This area is close to Denver’s founding site and was once home to many Native Americans.

We’ll bike along the Cherry Creek path for about 15 minutes before reaching Larimer Square, Denver’s first block and commercial district. This historic area features restaurants, shops, and a vintage store worth visiting.

Continuing on, we’ll pass by the Denver Performing Arts Complex, the Opera House, and the Convention Center, notable for its 40-foot Big Blue Bear sculpture. We’ll then view City Hall and, across from Civic Center Park, the Colorado State Capitol Building with its iconic gold dome. If it’s a weekday, we can tour the Capitol’s interior, including its rare Rose Onyx, stained glass, and legislative chambers.

From there, we’ll bike through Cheesman Park, formerly Prospect Hill Cemetery. In the late 1800s, the city expanded outward and they tried to remove the remains, but many were left behind due to fraudulent practices by the contractor.

Our final stretch will take us through the quiet streets near City Park and Whittier before returning to Five Points, once known as the Harlem of the West. We know the best and safest ways to explore Denver, making this an excellent short tour to see the city’s highlights.
