A Look at Denver LGBTQ+ History

Denver has long been a gathering place for people of all cultures. First were the high plains American Indians who followed the buffalo herds and lived throughout the Front Range. When prospectors discovered gold in , thousands of people crossed the Great Plains and settled in and around Denver. By the s, Denver was dubbed the gay oasis of the West. Today, Denver is a city of many colors and cultures, a rich tapestry of diverse and fascinating people.

 Denver's first Pride celebration, a picnic, is held in Cheesman Park. 

 Denver holds its first official Pride Parade.

Day 2

No matter what day you awaken on Saturday morning - well, at least assuming it's still morning - make it a point to sample brunch at one of the many Denver establishments that&#x;s renowned for this festive meal. In the funky Highland neighborhood, Root Down is a sure bet for fresh ingredients from local growers with high-level service and a hip, casual atmosphere. Nearer to downtown, Snooze is justly famous for its delicious sweet potato pancakes.

In the afternoon, you might plan a quick trip just outside of town to get a sense of this pretty area. It's just a minute drive to Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre, in the foothills of the Rockies, just west of town. Here you can tour the stunning innate concert hall that has hosted countless superstar rock bands over the years or hike the park's gorgeous terrain.

Get your blood flowing with a bike ride around the enchanting Cherry Creek neighborhood. Or walk to your heart's content amid Cherry Creek's dozens of fine shops: ups
