We can walk down Larimar street where the RiNo art district is. There is dozens of fascinating murals over the buildings in this area.
As a former industrial hub, the RiNo Art District is a part of the historic neighborhoods of Five Points, Cole, Globeville and Elyria-Swansea in Denver, Colorado. During the turn of the last century the area was home to foundries, pattern shops and industrial uses that helped drive the economic success of Denver. As industry moved out of the city's core in the late 80s and 90s, the corridor was left with several vacant warehouses and a failing infrastructure. During this time artists began to populate the area as prices were very affordable and the area was fertile ground for arts, artists and creatives.

Myers, and its construction lasted from 1886 through 1901. The exterior walls of the Capitol are constructed of granite quarried near Gunnison, Colorado. The pink stone seen throughout the Capitol is rose onyx discovered near Beulah, Colorado. This coloration of onyx has never been found anywhere else in the world. The floors of the Capitol are constructed of yule marble from Marble, Colorado.
In 1908 Colorado gold miners made a gift of 200 ounces of gold to gild the dome. Rising 272 feet above the ground, the gleaming gold dome on the Colorado Capitol is a fitting tribute to the history of our state.

Talk Denver to Me - Red Rocks, Street Art and more!

Red Rocks is a place for music lovers to go! A natural amphitheater in a stunning setting. Inside the visitor centre you can see what performances have been held each year since it opened - very interesting! Back into town to have a look at some of the street art around the RiNo district of Denver. Then off to Union Station, Dairy Block, Larrimer Square and the Capitol Square among others. A wonderful day out. Thanks Jeremy for a great experience.

Visiting the high points of Denver

Great day with Jeremy! We walked up Dinosaur Ridge, to view the ancient footprints. Next he got me up to take photos at Red Rocks amphitheater (where I saw the Allman Brothers Band 40 years ago) despite several graduations being scheduled. Then back to town to visit the murals, again accommodating taking pictures of the ones I was most interested in. Next lunch at a very good Food Hall. After lunch we stopped at the confluence of Cherry Creek and the Platte River, Larimer Square, the Brown Palace Hotel (beautiful inside) and finally he located a memorial plaque at the Civic Center that had special meaning to my family. We could have gone on to visit several well known Denver parks but my knee needed a rest. So pleasant and interesting a tour. Highly recommend.

Great overall experience

It was a great experience overall. Jeremy was very knowledgable of the area and having just a short time in Denver this trip gave us the best overview of the city. My one grandson wasn't feeling well and Jeremy was very accommodating which was appreciated. I would definitely recommend this trip. It was nice that there were only the three of us in the van which allowed for a more personal one-on-one experience.

Children's favorite

Tour guide was gentleman. Very accomodative and helpful. Though tour was quite expensive. Better for children and teens.
