Additional Info

Weather: September is usually a lovely time to visit Denver; average high of 72º, average low of 42º. Denver is one of the sunniest cities in America with 300 days of sunshine a year. Fingers crossed for a perfect fall weekend!

Foliage: For the last two years, the last weekend in September has been the best time to see the aspens turn a beautiful golden color in the mountains. Hopefully the post-conference trip will include this display, but it can vary every year. Unfortunately, the foliage in Denver will not have begun to change.

High-Altitude: Denver really is a mile high, causing the air to be thinner and dryer. Check out some HELPFUL TIPS to prepare.
