Here in Denver, we definitely have a unique way of doing things. If you’re new to the city or just passing through, here’s a little guidebook that will let you know things you simply must avoid if you want to have a pleasant experience while in the Mile High City.
- Driving to or from the mountains on I-70 during ski season.

- Driving on I-25…anytime?
Flickr/Jared Tarbell It doesn’t seem to matter what time of day it is, I-25 is often more of a parking lot than a quick route to your destination.
- The food at Casa Bonita
Facebook/Casa Bonita The Mexican fare at this popular destination isn’t anything to write home about, but the cliff divers and other entertainment are worth the trip.
- Being a Raiders fan

- Going to the grocery store before a snowstorm
Flickr/Kelly Don’t panic, folks. We all know the snow will melt in a day or two anyway. We will not starve!
- Forgetting to apply sunscreen

- Buying a house

- Ordering a burrito without green chile

- Wearing flip flops in the snow
Flickr/Brian Indrelunas Sure, you’ll see lots of people choosing to wear summertime footwear in the snow, but we wouldn’t recommend it.
- Planning to wear the same thing all day long
Facebook/Colorado Memes The weather here in Denver is ever-changing, even within the same day. It’s important to dress in layers.
