Local knowledge for Denver
Where to stay
Capitol Hill and the Colfax Avenue corridor have the highest concentration of hostels and put you walking distance from Cheesman Park, the 15 bus line, and a stretch of cheap eats along East Colfax. RiNo, centered around Brighton Boulevard and the Blake Street strip, is the other reliable budget cluster, close to the weekend Tracks Flea Market and the 38 bus into downtown.
Getting around
- The A Line light rail runs from Denver International Airport to Union Station for a few dollars. Rideshares from DIA typically run many times more, especially on busy weekends.
- The 16th Street Mall Free MallRide shuttle covers the main downtown corridor at no cost. It saves you an Uber whenever your hostel is near Union Station and you need to get to the Capitol end.
- Red Rocks Park trails are open daily and free. You do not need a concert ticket to hike the amphitheatre loop. Go before 9am and you will have most of it to yourself.
When to go
Ski weekends from January through March push hostel prices up fast, and summer weekends in June and July fill beds well in advance. October is reliably the cheapest month, after the hiking crowds thin out and before the ski rush begins.
