Denver is a favored outdoor activity center in The United States of America. Generally, if you prefer outdoor sports then spring/early summer as well as early autumn is a good time for you to travel to Denver. This because the weather is generally great during this period as well as there are many outdoor festivals held during this period.
In addition, the facts that during summers there are plenty of wildflowers and the changing colors of aspen trees in autumn force us to go outside and do some sporting activity.
This said, Denver is the home for skiing and snowboard enthusiasts from across the country during winters. Denver hosts a huge number of ski resorts and most of them are located along I-70, a 2-hour drive from Denver. The traffic is especially heavy in winters during the weekends and it is recommended you take the Ski train or the RTD bus service. Ski train moves from union station to Winter park and Mary Jane ski resorts while the bus goes to Eldora Ski resort.
Try to go skiing or as a matter of fact, any other sport on week days and avoid visiting Denver during the period of Thanksgiving and New Year. Snow hiking is another ideal choice for visitors who travel in Denver during winters and there are plenty of free mountain trails for snowshoes and cross-country skiers.
Besides being the perfect sports destination, Denver is also host to many Sports teams. In fact, Denver is one of the 13 U.S. cities that have all the four major sports teams. Denver Broncos of the NFL is the most popular of all the teams and there is a huge crowd turn up for all their games. They have advanced to the super bowl six times and were back-to-back champions in 98-99.
Colorado Rockies of the National league fame made their first world series in 2007 have been established because of the efforts of the former mayor Federico Pena. They are established at Coors Field and their popularity has been soaring through the years. Colorado Avalanche of the NHL fame and Denver Nuggets of NBA fame also call Denver home. Quite a sporting city Denver, isn't it?
Enjoy your travel, enjoy your life!
