Day 6 (Jun 27): We booked three walking tours of Denver for the sixth day of the vacation. Two tours, lunch, and one more tour. The first tour was the 'Golddust and Traildust' tour. All about Denver's early history. We toured Union Station, and some of the early hotels. Following that, the second tour was all about 'Victorian Denver'. Denver at the turn of the century (1900s) - Brown's Palace hotel, the state Capitol, and the Byers-Evans house. By now our feet were tired, and we took a short break for lunch. After lunch, it was back on the streets for one last tour. This time we learned about the 'Wild Side' of Denver. All about the early saloons and brothels.

After all those walking tours, our feet were tired, but we couldn't resist a little shopping. The 16th street mall offers much shopping and entertainment. By now everyone was tired of walking, and hungry as well. With reservations at the Denver Chop House, we feasted on some of the cities best fare.
