Gay & Lesbian Travel: Denver

Denver has long been one of the country's great centers of lesbian and gay culture.

The GLBT community here is highly visible - socially, professionally, and politically - and gay-friendly restaurants, bars, hotels, and other businesses are easy to find in a number of prominent neighborhoods.

With several new or expanded high-profile museums, easy access to skiing and hiking, a sunny climate, and relative affordability compared with other big urban centers, the Mile High City makes for a highly appealing vacation destination, whether for a couple of days or a full week of exploration.
