If you are going to be vacationing in Colorado, you will want to get a rental car in Denver so that you can get to all of the places that you want to visit in Colorado. With a rental car in Denver, you can visit Rocky Mountain National Park, the Royal Gorge, Pike’s Peak or one of many ski slopes near Denver.

If you get a rental car in Denver from the Denver International Airport, it is only an hour and a half’s drive up to the National Park. You can drive your rental car up to Bear Lake or you can traverse the highest continuous highway in the United States if you get a rental car in Denver.

Trail Ridge Road goes from east to west through the Park and provides sweeping mountainous views for people who travel it. If you are feeling adventurous during the summer months, you can drive up Fall River Road and then come back down Trail Ridge Road if you get a rental car in Denver.

In your rental car, you can drive to Canon City and cross the highest suspension bridge in the world over the Royal Gorge. Zebulon Pike discovered the Royal Gorge early in the 19th century while he was surveying borders of the newly owned American land gained by the Louisiana Purchase.

Pike’s Peak, the highest mountain in the United States is another destination in the area that is easily accessible if you are driving a Denver rental car. While Zebulon Pike never made it to the Peak because of a blizzard, you can enjoy the spectacular views from the peak in your Denver rental car.
