Gay Travel Denver
The Mile High City is high on fun for the gay traveler. From outdoor recreation such as skiing and mountain biking to renowned fine dining, great museums, and, of course, an active gay nightlife. Founded in 1858, Denver sits just 15 miles east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and offers more than 200 parks, from pocket parks to the 314 acres of City Park. The Queen City of the Plains, so named because of its role in the agricultural industry, also has 29 recreation centers. Gay Denver is a city for the active so don’t be surprised if you are floored by the tanned and toned bodies you see when walking around the city or dancing in a club.
Denver is a huge sports town and a dream for the queer jocks among us. Denver is one of the few U.S. cities with four major sport teams—the Broncos (NFL), the Rockies (MLB), the Avalanche (NHL) and the Nuggets (NBA). It also only one of three U.S. cities - Chicago and New York being the other two - to have a team in eight major sports leagues. Denver may seem like it is only for the active gay traveler, but this friendly city is welcoming to all types.
