A Bengal tiger cub was confiscated today in Centennial, Colorado, after police were sent photos of the tiger traveling through Denver in an SUV, and other reports that had come in that there was a tiger living in someone’s backyard.

The Denver Nuggets - Gimme Some Hoops!

Not only does Denver have a professional football team, a professional baseball team, a professional hockey team, a professional lacrosse team, and a score of not-so-professional teams, but we also have a pro basketball team! I’m talking about the Denver Nuggets! Their home turf is the Pepsi Center, which is conveniently located to many hotels […]

The Colorado Mammoth - Lacrosse in the Mile High

I have to admit something here. I had no idea that there was a professional lacrosse league, much less that there was a team right here in Denver! To my utter delight, I found out that we had our own home team, the Colorado Mammoth!

No TVs, Just Classical Music

One of the first places Shawn Marie took me when we arrived in Denver was My Brother’s Bar. From the street it looks small and hole-in-the-wallish, I mean, it doesn’t even have a sign out front telling you what it is! Once inside, however, you feel cozy and welcome, like they have been waiting […]

Destination: Couch!

More snow hit the Mile High City and sometimes the best response to that is to stay in. Not to mention how traveling in the snow can be a hassle. If you are of either of these mind sets, we at The Denver Traveler would like to offer some suggestions for traveling to Denver without […]
