With the Rocky Mountains lining its landscape and the bustling city of Denver in its territory, Southeastern Colorado is a veritable wonderland of attractions and activities that are sure to keep even the most discerning guest satisfied. Make a Southeastern Colorado vacation rental your jumping off point for any recreational adventure you could possibly imagine and experience what a true mountain getaway is all about.
Accurately nicknamed the “Mile High City,” Denver is a sprawling city that spreads from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in the west to the plains of the south and east. Diverse attractions and entertainment flow throughout its boundaries, ranging from museums and art galleries to sporting events and beautiful botanic gardens. Even if museums typically are not your thing, guests of Denver vacation rentals simply cannot miss a stop by either the Denver Museum of Nature and Science or the Denver Art Museum, a seven-story stunner whose cornerstone is Western and regional pieces.
Outdoor lovers who want to explore the Denver area beyond the confines of the city can venture around the Denver Mountain Parks, which is a system of 31 developed parks and 16 unnamed wilderness areas that contains mountains, lakes, streams, and more. Offering hiking, birdwatching, fishing, and stunning scenery, Genesee Park, Echo Park, and Daniels Park are perfect for a day outside the city. Visitors of Denver vacation home rentals will also find plenty of the great outdoors without leaving their central location at the Denver Botanic Gardens and the exciting Denver Zoo.
Boasting a favorable climate without the uncomfortable extremes that plague Denver, Colorado Springs is a haven of recreational pursuits such as golfing, rock climbing, and fishing. At the Mueller State Park, guests of Colorado Springs vacation rentals can enjoy stunning scenic beauty and hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding in search of elk, bighorn sheep, black bears, and other wildlife. The Garden of the Gods, a local favorite, should also be at the top of every itinerary for its spectacular sandstone formations and gorgeous plant and animal communities.
Located in the area surrounding Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak vacation rentals are the perfect way to catch a glimpse of America’s Mountain. As one of the most frequented mountains in the country, visitors can take a ride up the Pikes Peak Cog Railway and feel as if they are mountain climbing without any of the exertion. While the ride through the forest and past the timberline is always breathtaking, the views from the summit are a memorable way to view Denver to the north and endless waves of Rocky Mountains to the west.
Nearby, guests of Woodland Park vacation rentals can stop by the Pikes Peak Museum and take a walk back in time as they visit the historical buildings and exhibits that were a significant part of the Ute Pass communities. Afterwards, the Pike National Forest offers another excellent opportunity to soak in the great outdoors and enjoy a variety of flora and fauna along with scenic byways.
