Denver is an incredible place to live - from the mountains, to the music scene, to the people - we truly have no complaints. We've fallen in love with so many special spots in the city, and we want to share them with you! Check out our favorite Denver spots below:
1. City of Kunming Park
Oh Kunming Park - what a name, huh? This quiet, small park is located on a hill in South Denver and gets UNREAL mountain sunset views. This park was named after Denver's sister city in China which is located in the foothills of the Himalayas, similar to how Denver is in the foothills of the Rockies. If you want some beautiful mountain views without the crowds, Kunming is your spot!

2. 2914 Coffee
When you first walk into 2914, you'll be greeted by Ginger. She's an adorable puppy that sets the positive vibe of the whole coffee shop. It's owned by a British couple, Will and Steph, who are super friendly and welcoming. The MODL team has had countless work days here, with amazing coffee, food and great vibes. We can't recommend this place enough!

3. Rafting the REI Rapids
Only Denver would have a packraft-able river right in the center of downtown. The Platte River runs through Denver, and right outside the REI Flagship store are manmade rapids that you can kayak or packraft through. It's a super accessible spot to try some hardcore water sports, and one of our founders, Zack, has hit them a few times!

4. Comedy Works
Denver's Comedy Works is one of the best comedy clubs in the country, and I know what you're thinking, isn't that what all comedy clubs say about themselves?! The answer is yes. But seriously, this is one of comedians' favorite places to perform because the crowd is always so pumped. We've been to a few shows, and it's always a wild and hilarious time.

5. Red Rocks
Red Rocks is an indescribable venue and should be a bucket list item for everyone. It's rare that something so hyped up lives up to its reputation, but Red Rocks does this and more. When you're listening to music at Red Rocks, it feels like you and nature are vibing together, and it's a completely new way to experience music. YOU MUST GO HERE.
