RouteXpert Review
After arriving in Denver, the "Mile-High-City", right next to the Rocky Mountains. First pick up the reserved motorcycle at "Mile High Harley-Davidson", this is on the route to the hotel. After checking in at the hotel, you may still be able to visit Denver, as the tour starts the next day. You could visit the following locations: The famous Red Rocks Amphitheater, partly carved into the rocks, in the town of Morrison to the west of the city.
Denver Botanic Gardens, if you want to get away from the bustle of the city, visit the Denver Botanic Gardens. In this large botanical garden, local flora is combined with exotic plants from, for example, Australia and Africa. There are 45 different gardens, which depict all kinds of different places from all over the world.
The Molly Brown House Museum, this museum is located in the beautiful Victorian house of 'the unsinkable Molly Brown'. Margaret (Molly) Brown was a lady from poor circles, who climbed up to the rich Denver society, women's organizations and progessive politics around the turn of the last century. She the most famous survivor of the Titanic disaster in 1912.
The State Capitol, which is centrally located in the city, in Civic Center Park, is the State Capitol with its recognizable golden dome, which commemorates the nineteenth-century Colorado Gold Rush. The mile high step is located in the stairs in front of the building, at exactly one mile height.
Visit the Buffalo Bill museum where the one and only grave of William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody. Located in Lookout Mountain Park.
The next day is the day, we drive via a relatively short route through the Rockey Mountains to Cheyenne, the capital of Wyoming. A city proud of its cowboy and railroad legacies; most of the main attractions revolve around one or both of these themes. Great are, in the last full week of July, the Cheyenne Frontier Days, the world's largest outdoor rodeo and western event with performances by top country musicians, Native American entertainment, wild horse racing, parades, pancake breakfasts, fair, exhibition of local art & more. Cheyenne's other pride is the Wyoming State Capitol. You can look inside on weekdays.
In this 4 star route you will drive on beautiful good roads, through the Rockey Mountains to the capital of Wyoming.
History:
The history of the Cheyenne begins in 1867, when the Union Pacific Railroad reaches the area. A village is founded that bears the name of the Indian tribe that lives in the area. Fortune seekers were convinced that the railroad was the first step towards a prosperous life and went en masse towards Cheyenne. As a result, the city grew rapidly and was nicknamed 'Magic City of the Plains'. In the first year the city already had six hundred inhabitants and, moreover, the Fort DA Russell was born, five kilometers west of the city. Today, the fort is a base of the Air Force, named Francis E. Warren Air Force Base.
