A travel plan for a weekend in Denver: trains, a museum, and cold mountains.
Read
This Friday, we are taking the train to Denver. The train leaves Chicago at 8:10 a.m. and arrives at 3:40 p.m. The trip takes about seven hours, so we are taking books and sandwiches with us. Our hotel is downtown, near Union Station, so we can walk there with our bags.
On Saturday, we are visiting the Denver Art Museum in the morning. Tickets cost $18, and students pay $12. In the afternoon, we are walking in City Park and taking photos of the mountains. In the evening, we are having dinner at a famous restaurant near the hotel.
On Sunday, a bus is taking us to Red Rocks for a morning concert. The concert starts at 10:00 and finishes at noon. The mountains are cold in the morning, so pack a warm jacket. We are coming back to Chicago on the 6:30 p.m. train.
