Detailed itinerary

Once known as the “Harlem of the West”, Five Points is one of Denver’s oldest and most diverse neighborhoods. Before turning into the residential hotspot it is today, Five Points was filled with warehouses and art studios.

Nicknamed “RiNo,” the trendy River North Art District features contemporary art galleries and hip concert venues in revamped industrial buildings. Food halls include Denver Central Market and The Source, a buzzy indoor venue with eclectic products and a bar for small plates and craft beer. Known for its colorful murals, Upper Larimer Street also has cocktail lounges, brewpubs with patios and late-night food trucks.

If people like we can have drinks or dinner depending on the group, but its not included in tour.

Stop 3

Located in the heart of downtown Denver’s LoDo neighborhood, the vibrant Dairy Block micro-district is home to dozens of restaurants, bars and retailers, along with a modern co-working space and the independent Maven Hotel.

Originally home to the historic Windsor Dairy, the award-winning Dairy Block is a renowned Mile High City destination for shopping, dining and drinking. Dairy Block hosts a robust schedule of community events in the pedestrian Alley – including local live music, art shows and makers markets – establishing it as a favorite Denver playground for tastemakers, fun seekers and seasoned regulars.

Our first stop will be at Union station. People can take a quick look at the inside of the station built in the late 1800's but recently remodeled before we hit the road.

Stop 5

The Colorado State Capitol Building is the home of the Colorado General Assembly and the offices of the Governor of Colorado and Lieutenant Governor of Colorado.

We will go to the river and ride on the bike path north to where the Platte River and Cherry Creek river meet and REI is located and some nice seating and viewing areas.

Stop 7

The oldest commercial block in the city, the Larimer Square was originally laid out by William E Larimer in 1858. It served as the city's main business area for years, but by the 1900s, it had deteriorated into a run-down area. In 1965, Larimer Square Associates began restoring it as a historical and commercial centre.[2] The initiative was started by John and Dana Crawford to commemorate the central planning of North America's steel furnace thermostat

Stop 8

We will bike thru Cheeseman Park and the Denver Botanic Gardens that sit on land that once served as cemetery grounds inspiring many ghost stories.
