Planning a trip to the Mile High City soon? Maybe you’re luck! With an
abundance of free and nearly-free activities to keep you having fun until the
mountain goats come home, Denver
is a cheapskate’s dream. Read on for a comprehensive guide of what to do when
you’re down-and-out in Denver.
The Lure of the Great Outdoors
For anyone remotely interested in outdoor activities, the
REI Flagship store on Platte
Street in the heart of downtown Denver is paradise. Built in the 1901 Denver
Tramway building, the store is a historic landmark and an award-winning
architectural feat where you can wander among the myriad backpacks, sleeping
bags, kayaks and skis as you daydream about your next adventure. Stuck in Denver on a sweltering
summer day? Grab a parka and chill in the cold chamber, designed to help
customers test the effectiveness of winter gear. For a real adrenaline rush,
strap in and tackle the 45 foot climbing wall in the middle of the store or
grab a bike and crash down the simulated mountain biking trails. Outdoor mountain biking trails can also be found at MbPost.com
