$260-400/nightGood to Know
Treat Altitude and Sun With Respect
At 7,000 feet, you’ll dehydrate faster and may feel winded on stairs or hills; sip water steadily, wear sunscreen, and favor morning or late-afternoon walks over mid-day exertion.
Protect Your Car and Valuables
Property crime and car break-ins happen most around busy downtown parking lots, so keep bags out of sight, lock doors, and avoid leaving anything tempting in the vehicle when you go to dinner or shows.
