Year round there’s a Flatiron Flyer service to the park, which takes about 30 minutes.

Day 2: Evening in Denver

For the last evening of your Colorado weekend trip, make a beeline for Denver’s River North Art District (RiNo), which you can reach by rail from Union Station in about 15 minutes on the A Line. RiNo is a jumble of historic warehouses and factories that host restaurants, jazz bars, art galleries and brewpubs. Before taking a seat inside, wander and explore the colorful street art murals across the district. From RiNo, use the A Line service again to reach the airport in about 40 minutes.
