It’s important to prepare for any trip, including one to Colorado’s major cities. While not difficult to plan for relative to many far-flung destinations, the specifics of Colorado--particularly its high elevation, limited intercity transportation, and wide variety of lodging options--require more than a little forethought. This section offers a variety of planning tools--information on when to go, how to get there, how to get around, and other tips.
Predeparture checklist
- Are there any special requirements for your destination? Vaccinations? Special visas, passports, or IDs? Detailed road maps? Bug repellents? Appropriate attire?
- Did you find out your daily ATM withdrawal limit?
- Do you have your credit card PIN? If you have a five- or six-digit PIN, did you obtain a four-digit number from your bank?
- To check in at a kiosk with an e-ticket, do you have the credit card you bought your ticket with or a frequent-flier card?
- Did you bring your ID cards that could entitle you to discounts, such as AAA and AARP cards, student IDs, and so on?
- Did you leave a copy of your itinerary with someone at home?
- Do any theater, restaurant, or travel reservations need to be booked in advance?
- Do you want to attend a Denver Broncos game? If so, call early--home games sell out months ahead.
