A classic choice for Denver’s quaint west side, the Howard Johnson on 44th Avenue is a low-key option for those looking to enjoy easy access to the expansive beauty of the Rocky Mountains as much as downtown’s artsy districts. Home to free Wi-Fi and continental breakfast, the stay makes the most with what it’s got, further offering bright rooms and no-frills suites perfect for roadsters looking to hop onto the next thing. Enjoy easy eats from Golden Bowl Restaurant as well, an attached Asian restaurant that makes it easy to look forward to fresh pho as soon as you check in.
With so much going on in practically every direction, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed with the beauty of the region. From underrated exhibits at the Colorado Railroad Museum to the flourishing gardens from Prospect Park, the neighborhood charm of Fruitdale alone has a lot to offer. Head west for epic landscapes, choosing between the ancient volcanoes from North Table Mountain Park and the grande dame views sweeping across Lookout Mountain Park, which boasts the burial site of Buffalo Bill alongside hidden wildlife begging to be explored. Delve east toward the city for more familiar backdrops, enjoying a day of shopping at Colorado Mills, home to super-sized stores made popular by its gorgeous location in the foothills.
