Tourist Guide

Even if we aren't winning, the view is still breathtaking!

beast mode! $10 for a day pass at the #dbc #denverboulderingclub
The tickets are expensive considering the Broncos are very good and popular. Still a decent view.
Broncos vs Packers.  Great stadium.
Home of the Denver Broncos. Also a great place to see concerts and other sports and events. Near downtown via bus and light rail.

The man on the left has scaled this Mass of rock structure as the birds watch him in the right in the Garden of the Gods, Denver CO, USA. 
Situated right next to Colorado Springs off of US Highway 24 lies a small park aptly named Garden of the Gods. The acreage of the park is rather modest, like Red Rocks, but the sandstone formations are quite striking and memorable. Several massive rocks are decorated with jagged profiles with colors ranging from white, mild orange and rich reds. Spires of up to two pitch height are scattered behind these larger rocks. The park is highly developed and has cement trails in places. Climbing is almost exclusively trad, though there are many routes with drilled angles that don't require gear other than draws. Rock quality varies from formation to formation and can be very crumbly. For Front Range denizens who want to get used to soft desert sandstone, this is a great place to experience it. Get used to an audience, as the crowded park has hundreds of visitors on weekends.

Athmar Park

Travellers enjoy Athmar Park for its bars and shopping. Consider checking out South Platte River while you're in the area.

Everything was fine except the whole building was connected to heat despite it being high 70s outside. My room was 87 degrees on one night. They were able to cool it off somewhat and gave me a box fan but still should be unacceptable
