Plan on spending 2-3 hours assuming a couple of short breaks along the way.
The LoDo Walking tour is approximately 2.25 miles in length.
There are several locations to stop at along the way to shop, dine or simply to take a load off of your feet. You can spend a couple of hours, or an entire day, if you choose to stop for meals and to shop or further explore sites located along the route.
Although there are ample opportunities to purchase refreshments along the way, you should bring these items with you for a more enjoyable tour:
- Water
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen and lipbalm
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Money for shopping or dining
- Fannypack or clothing with extra pockets
- Map of the route (located on inside of CD case)
Don't forget fresh batteries for your CD player.
Don't be discouraged by Colorado's rapidly changing weather. If a summer afternoon thunderstorm sneaks up, chances are it will be gone before long, allowing you to continue the tour. However, it is wise to be prepared, so consider tossing a rain jacket or emergency poncho in your fannypack, pocket or purse just in case.
Pause the CD while crossing streets and listen for directions to guide you from point to point.
We recommend that you walk the route during daylight hours. If you choose to walk after dark, please note that certain points of reference mentioned on the CD may not be visible. Also try to bring along a friend if you'll be walking the route at night.
Hold onto children's hands, especially while in the vicinity of the 16th Street Mall.
There is a free Mall Ride Bus that runs along 16th Street from Wynkoop to Broadway. If you're parked elsewhere or staying at a hotel several blocks away, this is a great way to get to the starting point of the LoDo tour that begins at Union Station.
Parking meters in downtown Denver have a two- hour limit. Be prepared to make a trek back to your vehicle to add more change to the meter, as you likely will not finish in under two hours. Please refer to the map insert to plan a convenient time during the tour to do so. You may also wish to take advantage of the 16th Street Mall Bus for this purpose. Track 4 and Track 8 offer opportunities to hop on the free Mall Bus.
Finally, just have fun and play it safe!
