It’s difficult to do any metropolitan area in three day. Denver isn’t any different. There is so much to see and do in and around the city that it’s impossible to try to squeeze it all in during three days. But here are a couple of suggested itineraries, with a few alternate options, that can […]

A Photo Essay ~ 31 Days of Denver
I spent the month of May documenting some of the sites I have regularly seen in the twelve years I’ve lived in Denver. I have also taken the time to capture a picture or two of some places I hadn’t yet seen. And I had plenty of time to ignore the overly-photographed locations and icons that are certainly […]
A Preview of the Denver Zoo’s New Elephant Passage

Visiting Denver’s Downtown Aquarium
I love going to places like zoos. Rarely do I read the signs pertaining to the different exhibits, but I still find them fascinating. I just love watching the animals, particularly if they seem to have a good area set up for them so they seem happy. I know some people struggle with such places […]
Touring the Denver Zoo
The other day I had a discussion with a friend about zoos when I told him that I was going to go to a free day offered by the Denver Zoo, which so happened to be today. My friend believes that zoos are inhumane and essentially take the animal out of the animal. They become […]
