We wanted to call this The Selfie Tour, given all the great photo opportunities we will pass along our route; from the Colorado state flags spanning across Larimer Square to the Iconic Blue Bear, four-storey Dancing Aliens (okay, they’re called The Dancers), the DF clock tower and the eclectic sculptures along the 16th Street Pedestrian Mall, your Instagram account will thank you for taking this tour. Your tour launches from Union Station, a focal point in the rapid growth of Denver during its early years. We’ll move towards Cherry Creek; one of the two rivers which flow into Confluence Park and site of the original settlements around what would later become the Denver we know today. Cherry Creek used to be a dumping ground but it has been transformed in recent years into a family playground and kayaking paradise. The river flows alongside the main commuter path that attracts most of Denver’s local bikers and joggers. Weaving back into town, it’s time for a snack and we think our favorite French creperie is the perfect solution no matter whether you’re looking for something sweet or savory. From there it’s a quick walk to the original site of Denver City (St. Charles), which eventually merged with the encampment on the opposite side of Cherry Creek (Auraria). Here we explore the back alleys, pointing out a speakeasy or two you might want to try later. Once we are fully acquainted with the best of Larimer Square, it’s time to get your selfie sticks ready. Next up is a stroll through Sculpture Park, home to Denver’s famous 50-foot sculpture “The Dancers.” After we’ve exhausted all possible angles, we’ll cut through Denver’s Performing Arts Complex, where we’ll check to see what’s playing tonight on any one of the multiple stages. The selfie opportunities are not over, not by a long way! Our next stop is an epic selfie with “Big Blue,” the three-storey blue bear, which peers into the Colorado Convention Center. This giant and universally loved artwork is officially named, “I see what you mean.” From here the tour
