Free Denver Walking Tour

You can enjoy a free, self-guided walking tour of Denver’s historic Capitol Hill.

You can complete this tour in about 60 minutes, but you may want to take more time to snap some photos and explore the area a bit more.

Introduction

Denver is known as the Mile High City, as it’s 5,280 feet, or one mile, above sea level.

This city boasts over 150 years of history, so there are a number of notable landmarks worth visiting.

This tour will take you to nine of the most historic locations in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, Denver’s most historic and beautiful area.

Experience both the hustle and bustle of the Colorado State Capitol and quieter streets of the Capitol Hill neighborhood as you follow the route below.

Or, join in on one of these great guided tours or self-guided Audio Adventures that are available to visitors and locals year-round in Denver:

• Denver Free Walking Tour
• Best of Denver Private Tour
• One of five unique Audio Adventures - self-guided tours narrated by local guides of different areas and landmarks in Denver
• A quirky or more distinctive tour, like the Ghosts of Capitol Hill Tour that explore this same neighborhood’s legend and lore in the evening, or the RiNo Street Art Tour , complete with a tasting of local chocolates and a beer garden visit!

1. Civic Center Park (14th and Bannock St.)

With sweeping views of the city, the State Capitol and the mountains, Civic Center Park is, and always has been, truly the heart of Denver.

Once the end of the stage line and now the location where numerous Denver festivals and events are held. This area was really planned as part of the City Beautiful movement led by then-mayor Robert Speer.

This moved Denver out of a time of the Wild West to something worthy of the nation’s attention.  Some people claim it was designed to look like the city of Paris, France. What do you think?

In the beginning, Capitol Hill, where Civic Center Park is located, was known as Brown’s Bluff, after Henry C. Brown.

Brown’s Bluff was mostly barren land with a gorgeous view of the mountains, but after Brown donated the land to construct the Colorado State Capitol, the scenery changed.

Neighborhoods started to emerge and wealthy residents started to move into the city.

If you’re really enjoying this area and want to see more, the Mile High Highlights Tour is a great fit and only 60-75 minutes to fit into a tight schedule. 

2. Byers-Evans House Museum (13th and Bannock)

Enter one of Denver’s great historic homes, built in 1883 by Rocky Mountain News publisher Williams Byers and sold in 1889 to the family of William Gray Evans, an officer of the Denver Tramway Company.

Elizabeth Byers built the first charitable organization and was known for giving to the poor.

Today it is restored to reflect the period of 1912 – 1924 and reveals the personality and interests of the Evans family.

You can head inside to visit the museum and learn more about these families and their stories. 

3. Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art (1201 Bannock St)

In 1932, artist Vance Kirkland rented (and later bought) the art school building at 1311 Pearl Street (built 1910–1911).

Kirkland occupied the building for almost fifty years and created over 1,100 paintings during his tenure, using it exclusively as a studio after returning as head of the art school at the University of Denver in 1946.

Both an innovator and a visionary, Kirkland is recognized as one of the century's great modern painters. In 2016 his studio was moved from its original location to its current site at 1201 Bannock Street.

This move preserved the building, and maintained its centrality to the experience at Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art, housed in a modern structure attached to the historic studio & art school building.

4. The Crawford Hill Mansion

Pass by the Crawford Hill Mansion, now a private business, to view the elegant exterior of the home of Louise Hill, Denver’s most prominent socialite from 1895 through the 1940s.

Louise was originally a southern bell and was known to have chosen 36 families in Denver she liked best and called them The Sacred 36.

Louise and the Unsinkable Molly Brown were known to have a feud and not get along, after Louise snubbed her.

You’ll see the Molly Brown House Museum as the last stop on this walking tour. 

5. Moffat Mansion

At Eight Avenue and Grant Street, there lie the remains of the former mansion resided by the family of David H. Moffat.

The building boasted over forty-two rooms, including a grand ballroom, a chandelier with 4,000 hand-cut crystals and the well-known Tiffany stained-glass window.

David Moffat acquired his fortune through the railroad business, by engineering the first tracks to cross over the continental divide.

His railroads frequently transported people and goods from Colorado to California. However, Moffat aspired to create more efficient routes by creating a way through the mountain, instead of around it.

After his death, this vision was realized through the Moffat Tunnel.

Unfortunately, the Moffat Mansion was demolished in 1972, to make way for a new office building. The onset of modernization in Denver during the sixties saw many historical buildings destroyed.

However, these tragedies brought awareness to historic preservation to the city of Denver.

Historic Denver Inc., which was created two years earlier to save the house of Molly Brown from a similar fate, received much support from citizens who vowed to preserve the city’s history..

6. Governor’s Residence (8th and Logan)

Check-out the Governor’s Residence at Boettcher Mansion, built in 1908 as a private home.

Today the Governor’s family occupies the upper floors, but the public is welcome to tour the first floor on select dates.

Walter Cheesman hired architects to build this residence in 1907, but he died before the mansion was finished, but his wife and son were able to live here for a few years. 

Look for the Boaettcher couple’s initials embedded in the stained glass windows on the south side of the house, if you are able to go inside on the day that you visit. 

7. Colburn Hotel

Pull up a chair in Charlie Brown’s Bar and Grill in the Colburn Hotel, where Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady spent time in the summer of 1947, visiting Carolyn Cassady, who studied art and theater at the University of Denver and lived at the Colburn.

Youth in the 1950’s flooded the Capitol Hill neighborhood looking for excitement and late-night bars to visit, like Charlie Brown’s, which opened ot cater to this demographic, and this decade started to change the look and feel of the neighborhood, transforming the neighborhood from a very upscale neighborhood of the rich to an eclectic, diverse neighborhood.

8. Capitol Hill Bed and Breakfast

Also known as the Keating Mansion, this home was built in 1891 for Jeffrey and Mary Keating. Jeffrey Keating was a prominent businessman with ventures in real estate, insurance, and the McPhee and McGinnity Lumber Company.

The house was sold a number of times to different families, and then became a hotel in 1923.

In 1993 it was purchased by its current owner, Carl Schmidt, and became the Capitol Hill Bed and Breakfast.

Each room in the home is named after a different Colorado wildflower after it was turned back from offices into a bed and breakfast. 

9. The Molly Brown House Museum

Molly Brown’s life is a perfect example of the rags-to-riches stories that Denver and the Wild West were known for.

If you don’t know the name Molly Brown, be sure to watch the movie Titanic, as she famously survived the sinking of the big ship. 

The Molly Brown House stands as an enduring symbol of the Victorian era and Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood where the city’s most prominent families lived.

Restored to its 1910 grandeur, the story of the unsinkable Margaret “Molly” Brown is revealed during guided or self-guided tours that take you back in time that you can do inside. 

For a bit more excitement, you can also hear the darker tales and unexplained happenings that have led this home to be infamous with paranormal experts.

Just join the Ghosts of Capitol Hill Tour which ends here at the Molly Brown House.

We hope you enjoyed seeing the streets leading in and out of Capitol Hill.

Denver is now so much more than the temporary mining town it once was and a lot of that was due to an effort to create a notable city, with the city’s founders constructing grand homes along the streets west of Cheesman Park, in Capitol Hill, where you just explored.

Enjoy the rest of your time in the Mile High City. and if you want to see and experience more sights and landmarks and hear the stories behind them, be sure to join one of these top walking tours , led by local guides, to pack more fun, insight and recommendations into a few hours than you thought possible!

Heart of Art

Denver's  Golden Triangle Creative District  neighborhood brims with more than 30 art galleries and artists' studios showcasing the innovative wares of nationally renowned talent and regional up-and-comers. First Friday Art Walk, a shuttled gallery tour that takes place the first Friday of each month, is a terrific way to tour art marts like  Walker Fine Art . The Golden Triangle art galleries are bordered by Speer Boulevard, Colfax Avenue and Lincoln Street. Shuttle tours begin at the Osage Street Light Rail Station. 

Colorado State Capitol Tour

The Colorado State Capitol , modeled after the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., is a stunning spectacle embellished with stained glass depicting events and people inherent to Colorado, coupled with gorgeous Colorado white granite, rose onyx and yule marble. To see if you've got what it takes to adjust to the altitude, climb the 99-step spiral staircase to an open-air deck affording jaw-dropping views of the city skyline and Rocky Mountains. The Corinthian-styled building, famed for its gold-plated dome rising 272 feet above the ground, offers temporary exhibits, visitor galleries and complimentary tours , Monday through Friday. 

Tattered Cover Book Store is one of the top independent booksellers in the country.

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts is the second-largest in the United States.

Denver is home to one of only two mints in the United States.

Tattered Cover Book Store

No visit to Denver would be complete without a journey through the  Tattered Cover Book Store , one of the top independent booksellers in the country. This astounding literary marvel boasts several metro Denver locations, but the store in the renovated Lowenstein Theater on a burgeoning stretch of East Colfax is the talk of the town. Grab a latte from the in-house java joint, plop down in one of the overstuffed chairs or sofas to wrap your hands around the latest bestseller, or attend a free book signing or author lecture from big names like John Gray, Al Gore, Annie Leibovitz and Garrison Keillor. Tattered Cover's newest location is at  Denver Union Station . 

United States Mint Tour

To see where your currency is conceived (sorry, no free handouts), follow the money trail to the  Denver U.S. Mint . The free, 45-minute tours are led by knowledgeable guides and provide a fascinating look into the history of coinage. Both kids and adults will love getting up close and personal with the shiny pocket change that streams off the production lines. Tours are available Monday through Thursday (excluding Federal holidays). All visitors must be 7 years and older. See  the mint's  latest policies. 

Denver Central Library

Denver Central Library has an impressive art gallery on the seventh floor. The library is best known, perhaps, for its Western History Collection, which covers the earliest explorations, Spanish land grants, Native American history, the gold rush era and the present day with a particular focus on the Rocky Mountain West.

Free Festivals Year-round

Denver's festivals are fun and often completely free. You'll be exposed to only-in-Denver sights, sounds and tastes. Don't miss the  Cherry Creek Arts Festival , held every summer, or the  Colorado Dragon Boat Festival  in Sloan's Lake Park in July.  Learn more about Denver's festivals.  

Get Cultured

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts – home to the Newton Auditorium, Temple Buell Theatre, Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Garner Galleria Theatre and a wealth of smaller stages – hosts several free performances throughout the year. There are rules, of course: No advanced reservations are accepted; seating is general admission; children under six years old are not allowed; and tickets are only available on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the performance. Despite the regulations, it's worth braving the lines to experience some of the best theater in the country.

Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre

Carved from towering red rock monuments,  Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre  is one of the world's most renowned concert venues. When there's no concert, the free Visitor Center has a museum and Performers Hall of Fame, while the surrounding park has hiking trails that weave in, around and over the colorful red rocks.

Hammond's Candy Factory

Anyone with even the smallest sweet tooth will love this free tour, which gets you behind the scenes at  Hammond's , a company that has been making candy in Denver since 1920. You'll come away with a newfound respect for the candy industry,   plus plenty of free samples.

City Park Jazz

For more than 20 years, the bandstand at  City Park  has played host to some of Denver's greatest live jazz performances – and they've all been completely free. During the summer months, bring out your beach chair or picnic blanket and get ready for a foot-tappin' good time.

Children's Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus Joy Park Free Nights

Joy Park and Adventure Forest are open for FREE on the third Friday of each month from May to September from 4 – 8 pm (or dusk). Reservations are required to guarantee entry.

Things To Do

Outdoors | colorado’s 10 best dinosaur destinations, from museums to track sites and quarries, from the denver museum of nature and science to the remote dinosaur lake in la junta, colorado is a fossil hotbed.

The Rocky Mountain West has unparalleled access to artifacts from the dinosaur age because the uplift that formed the mountains unearthed layers of rock that were buried for millennia prior, said Bruce Schumacher, senior paleontologist with the U.S. Forest Service.

That’s why when development companies start digging on new projects, they often stumble across dino remains . Even the Colorado Rockies’ triceratops mascot, Dinger, was inspired by fossil fragments found during the construction of Coors Field.

Because of that, the state boasts a robust paleontology community which, in turn, means many fossils end up on display locally. All the better for would-be dinosaur hunters.

Here are 10 places across Colorado where you can walk literally in the footsteps of long necks, see rare discoveries and even join an excavation.

Where to walk amongst the dinosaurs

Dinosaur ridge (morrison).

One of Colorado’s most iconic dinosaur locales is also one of its most easily accessible. Dinosaur Ridge in Morrison is a quick detour off I-70 and replete with fossils and tracks that are visible from a paved, two-mile road. The site includes a visitors’ center with indoor exhibit halls, kid-friendly digging areas and a gift shop. Those looking for more adventure can traverse the Triceratops Trail, a 1.5-mile gravel path that starts in Golden and provides access to a rare Tyrannosaurus Rex footprint. Be aware that Dinosaur Ridge is immensely popular, welcoming about 250,000 visitors per year. Guided tours are available in both areas. Free; more information at dinoridge.org .

Dinosaur National Monument (Dinosaur)

The town of Dinosaur adopted its name in 1966 as a harbinger of its greatest asset, the Dinosaur National Monument. The 210,000-acre monument encompasses desert canyons in both Colorado and Utah where visitors can recreate and get a prehistory lesson. The most famous attraction is the Quarry Exhibit Hall, located in Utah, which features a vertical rock wall where 1,500 dino bones have been carefully excavated so they are visible as they would be at an active dig. While there aren’t fossils on the Colorado side of the monument, there are numerous places to camp, hike, raft, see petroglyphs and take a scenic, dinosaur-inspired drive. Day entry costs $15 to $25 depending on your vehicle, or it’s included with the purchase of a national parks pass; more info at nps.gov/dino/index.htm .

Picket Wire Canyonlands (La Junta)

Southeastern Colorado is home to North America’s largest tracksite, which features more than 1,900 prints representing more than 130 different dinosaurs. Nestled deep within the Picket Wire Canyonlands (part of the Comanche National Grasslands near La Junta and Trinidad), hikers need to trek more than 11 miles round trip on foot to visit Dinosaur Lake in the remote Purgatoire River valley. But folks say it’s worth it to see the thousands of tracks from herbivorous sauropods, carnivorous theropods on two legs, and even tracks from what experts believe to be a familial herd of dinosaurs . Free; more information at fs.usda.gov/recarea/psicc/recarea/?recid=77620 .

Rabbit Valley Trail Through Time (Mack)

If you’ve ever wanted to see a working quarry, the town of Mack, about 30 miles west of Grand Junction, is the place. The Rabbit Valley Trail Through Time is a 1.5-mile walkable loop that skirts a quarry where excavators have found thousands of bones from Jurassic-period giants like Camarasaurus and Allosaurus. The site turned up one of the oldest known fossils from a species called Iguanodon. Free; more information at blm.gov/visit/rabbit-valley-trail-through-time .

West Gold Hill Dinosaur Tracksite (Ouray)

One of the world’s most intriguing dinosaur tracksites recently became part of the public domain. The West Gold Hill Tracksite in Ouray is unique because of both its size and pattern, which show a sauropod taking 134 consecutive steps and making a 270-degree turn. The tracksite has long been an open secret among locals, but since the U.S. Forest Service acquired the land where it resides in April, the agency is now prompting its whereabouts. Expect a steep hike up to 9,300 feet in elevation to see the prints in person. Free; more information at fs.usda.gov/detail/gmug/news-events/?cid=FSEPRD1171521 .

Where to see bones at their best

Dinosaur Journey Museum (Fruita)

Located in Fruita, about two hours south of the Dinosaur National Monument, the Dinosaur Journey Museum includes an exhibit hall with Jurassic-period fossils, life-size skeletal recreations, and animatronic dinosaurs including a T. Rex. Of particular note on display is a species called Fruitadens, one of the smallest non-bird dinosaurs ever discovered named for the town of Fruita where scientists found the first fossils. The museum also invites locals of all ages to join in real dino digs each summer. Tickets cost $9 for adults and $5 kids; more information at museumofwesternco.com/visit/dinosaur-journey .

Denver Museum of Nature and Science (Denver)

There’s lots to explore at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, but dinosaur lovers will want to start on the building’s third level where skeletons tower over the exhibit hall and immerse visitors in the dinosaur age. Exhibits cover the ages pre- and post-dinosaurs, so patrons can learn about ancient plants, reptiles and mammals, and how the climate has evolved. There are also fossils guests can touch and an Earth Sciences Lab where volunteers prepare fossils for onsite displays. Tickets cost $24.95 for adults and $19.95 for kids, with additional fees for access to additional attractions like the planetarium; more information at dmns.org .

Morrison Natural History Museum (Morrison)

Located five miles from the show-stopping Dinosaur Ridge, the Morrison Natural History Museum contextualizes Colorado’s role in the dinosaur age with fossil displays, history through the Ice Age, and hands-on exhibits. The museum, located in a refurbished cabin, is fueled by ongoing research that it does in-house as a nonprofit organization. It allows non-professionals to join excavations, too. General admission tickets cost $18 and kids’ admission costs $12; more information at morrisonco.us/335/Morrison-Natural-History-Museum .

The Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center (Woodland Park)

The Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center near Colorado Springs is something of a showroom for its parent company, Triebold Paleontology, Inc. , which has been collecting fossils since 1989. Its founder Mike Triebold is said to have discovered several “firsts” in the field, such as the first complete and intact skeleton of Protosphyraena perniciosa , a prehistoric fish. In 2022, the Triebold Paleontology team discovered a juvenile T. Rex and many of the bones they have so far are on display, including shoulder bones and vertebrae. The bones indicate the animal was injured while alive and some also have gnaw marks on them from after it was deceased. Tickets cost $13 for adults and $9 for children; more information at rmdrc.com .

Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience (Cañon City)

At the Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience in Cañon City, visitors don’t get to just look at fossils and relics, they also get to play among them. In addition to a 10,000-square-foot museum, the venue includes a digging area for kids to excavate their own treasures, a “wild walk” that takes patrons through a landscape dotted with life-size animatronic dinos, and two ropes courses that offer aerial views of all of the above plus the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Royal Gorge Bridge. The venue is near an active quarry called the Garden Park Fossil Area , the site of the Bone Wars in the 19th century , so you could swing by both places on one trip. Tickets range $15 to $41.95 for adults and $12 to $31.95 for kids depending on how many attractions you want to experience; more information at dinoxp.com .
