About Denver

GLBT Travel in Denver

The Mile High City has long been a hot spot of gay culture. As the largest city in a 600-mile radius, GLBT men and women from all over the West have flocked to Denver for decades, resulting in a well-established nightlife and numerous annual events that draw huge crowds.

Produced by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center of Colorado (The Center), Denver PrideFest is recognized as one of the top 10 Pride events in the country.

Colorado Rides With Pride! The annual Colorado Gay Rodeo packs in cowboys from around the world.

Check out this detailed itinerary for the perfect GLBT weekend, written by gay travel expert Andrew Collins.

In the last few years, Denver has jumped in popularity as a travel destination for GLBT visitors; in fact, OutTraveler.com voted Denver one of its "Top Up-and-Coming Destinations" (and Denver is one of only two domestic cities on the list!)

Denver in the News

"Denver has long been one of the country's great centers of lesbian and gay culture. The GLBT community here is highly visible – socially, professionally, and politically – and gay-friendly restaurants, bars, hotels, and other businesses are easy to find in a number of prominent neighborhoods. With several new or expanded high-profile museums, easy access to skiing and hiking, a sunny climate, and relative affordability compared with other big urban centers, the Mile High City makes for a highly appealing vacation destination for many."

New York Blade News

"Denver (also referred to as the Queen City of the Plains) is quite supportive of queer culture. Bolstered every summer by a major gay rodeo and the exuberant PrideFest, as one of the best GLBT pride events in the country, the gay scene here is only slightly more conservative than in coastal metropolises and is very focused on active lifestyles . Out on the town, you'll meet frat boys, cowboys, mountain-hardened athletes, and a strong, extremely outdoorsy lesbian population."

OutTraveler

"Denver will surely take your breath away. Be prepared for the change in altitude here in the 'Mile High City'. The attitude's different, too: you'll meet some of the friendliest and most helpful folks you may ever encounter".
