Lower Downtown Scavenger Hunt Adventure<\/h2>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Instead of your typical city tour, consider mixing things up a bit and going on a scavenger hunt<\/a> while you take in the hidden gems of Lower Downtown Denver. Start the day with plenty of brain fuel to help you tackle the clues and challenges alongside the historic landmarks like Coors Field and the iconic Dairy Block. All you need is a fully charged smartphone, money, pencil, paper, and a pair of comfortable shoes. Although it\u2019s done at your own pace, it\u2019s also a good idea to bring snacks and water to stay on the go, as well as and a city map in case your phone dies because it officially begins at 8\u00a0a.m. and ends at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n

Banjo Billy\u2019s Bus Tour<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a history buff, you\u2019ll feel like you\u2019re traveling through time on this bus tour as\u00a0you dive right into Denver\u2019s 162 years of history. While they also offer private tours with a couple of ghost and beer themes, Banjo Billy<\/a> is very well-known for taking visitors time-traveling through different eras of Denver during their history tours. Some would say that simply calling it a bus doesn\u2019t do it justice. Think about the yellow school bus from your childhood; now, take that and glue the front end to a hillbilly style house. Not only does this tour offer such cool aesthetics, instead of the uncomfortable school bus seats you might remember, they\u2019re equipped with cozy couches, retro recliners, and sturdy saddles for people of all ages.<\/p>\n

A Private Tour to Rocky Mountain National Park<\/h2>\n

\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re lucky, you\u2019ll even spot a grazing moose or an eagle soaring atop the chiseled Rockies!<\/p>\n
