Overview

Denver has reinvented itself more times than almost any other city in the American West. On this audio tour, you'll trace its path from a gold-rush outpost to the capital of the Rockies, and hear how it survived a railway bypass, a silver crash, and mid-century bulldozers.

You'll start at Coors Field, then pass the Dairy Block, a 1920s milk-bottling plant turned boutique hotel and food hall, and Wynkoop Brewing, the brewpub that revived this area in the 1980s. You'll stop at Union Station, whose facade was Denver's answer to a railway that almost bypassed the city.

You'll continue down the 16th Street Mall, then reach Larimer Square, Denver's oldest block, saved from demolition when Dana Crawford bought it after her car broke down there in the 1960s. You'll finish at the Federal Reserve Bank, where a free museum lets you watch currency processed and sends you home with shredded cash.

In 60 minutes, Denver tells you its own storey: boom, bust, and back again.

Activity itinerary

Coors Field (Pass by)

This self-guided audio tour starts at Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, in the heart of Lower City centre.

Denver Union Station (Pass by)

You'll stop at Union Station, whose granite facade was Denver's deliberate answer to the transcontinental railway that almost bypassed the city entirely.

16th Street Mall (Pass by)

Continuing down the 16th Street Mall, you'll learn how it was designed by I.M. Pei and is still the spine of city centre.

Larimer Square (Pass by)

You'll reach Larimer Square, the oldest block in Denver. In the 1960s, it was slated for demolition when a woman named Dana Crawford's car broke down here, and she decided to buy the block instead of losing it to a car park.

The Money Museum at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Denver Branch (Pass by)

The tour ends at the Federal Reserve Bank, where a free on-site money museum lets you watch currency being processed – and hands you a bag of shredded cash to take home.
