Known as the Mile High City, it&#8217;s completely transformed from the youth of society that could never find a place where they &#8220;belong.&#8221; Here is a list of my favorite things to do and see while visiting Denver. The city is full of awesome places to eat, drink, explore, and take cool artsy photos.  Denver is split into uniquely characterized sections, so there is a little something for everyone. I am barely scratching the surface here. </p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Drinking</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Denver is home to many breweries, artisan cocktails, and open-air markets to eat and drink.
