9 Fun Tourist Attractions Without Huge Crowds

A record 37.4 million domestic tourists visited Denver last year, according to new data from the city’s tourism office.

Stand-up comedian JD Lopez joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to swap stories and share recs for family-friendly, outdoorsy, and adult-oriented destinations we love around the state.
