What to Do in Denver in Summer 2019

The Mile High City may be covered in snow for much of the year, but in the summer its mild temperatures make it a perfect destination. Music lovers come to see their favorite acts at the Red Rocks Ampitheatre just outside the city. Others come for the hiking in nearby mountains and rugged terrain. There are many festivals to choose from throughout the summer including the Cherry Blossom Festival in late June, celebrating Japanese culture, Independence Eve Fireworks on July 3rd, and Buskerfest, in which street performers line the streets of downtown Denver. You can cheer the Colorado Rockies baseball team at Coors Field. If you’re traveling with kids, visit the Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park or the Denver Zoo.

Our Services

Whatever your plans or purpose for renting a car our extensive fleet can accommodate. We also have deals on extras to help you have an optimal driving experience, such as child seats, GPS, additional driver, and more. Please note we can only guarantee your Denver reservation for the car category, not for a specific model.

• If you're planning on enjoying all that Colorado's splendid nature has to offer, an SUV is the perfect vehicle with great traction and plenty of room for passengers and luggage or equipment.
• When traveling with lots of equipment, another good choice is a pickup truck.
• During the summer, choose a convertible or sports car for fun on the road.
• For a practical city car, compact cars and sedans are available.

Traffic Information

Three major interstates run in and out of Denver and like many US cities tend to be congested during rush hour. To avoid the traffic you can consider taking E-470 or the Northwest Parkways, both however, are toll roads. Denver has numbered streets which run east-west and numbered streets which run north-south. To help you orientate yourself while driving know that addresses on named streets correspond to intersecting numbered streets. As well, streets are ordered alphabetically going up as you travel east or west away from the city center.

Downtown gets a bit confusing as it has a diagonal layout, meaning southeast-northwest streets are numbered, while southwest-northeast streets are named. Including a GPS add-on to your reservation will help you navigate and can be especially helpful for those visiting Denver for the first time. We recommend leaving your rental car in pay lot where you can get a better rate for an entire day.

Major roadways

• I-25: Connects to Colorado Springs southbound and north to Wyoming.
• I-70: Those who are interested in the skiing destinations not far from Denver like Summit County can find them off the I-70 West.
• I-76: Heads northeast towards Nebraska.

Sightseeing Destinations

Rocky Mountain National Park is a must stop on your Denver itinerary. You can spend a day here on a scenic drive or plan for an overnight stay. There are plenty of opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, horse riding or hanging out at one of the picnic areas. We recommend beginning your visit with a stop at the Bear Meadows Visitor Center where you can watch a short film about the park and ask rangers questions.

While in Denver, you'll never be bored. We recommend visiting LoDo a neighborhood in downtown Denver with excellent dining and shopping options. Nearby Elitch Gardens is open from May to December and is a wonderful amusement park with rides as well as an arcade. Something else to do with kids is visiting Denver Zoo, which has daily talks and demonstrations with the keepers.
