The mall is a mile-long, tree-lined promenade stretching through the heart of downtown. Bustling with street vendors, souvenir shops, clothing and jewelry stores, and a plethora of bars and restaurants, this energetic strip offers plenty of variety. The Denver Pavilions, at the entrance of the mall, is a new open-air shopping plaza filled with trendy chains, including the Denver edition of the Hard Rock Café. The D & F Tower, a 325-foot (100-meter) replica of the Campanile (bell tower) in Venice, graces the center of the mall. The Tabor Center adds to the shopping enthusiasm. Free shuttles provide transportation up and down the mall, allowing for convenient cross-town sightseeing.

Confluence Kayaks allows you to experience a wild mountain adventure without ever leaving the city. Conveniently located a block off the South Platte River and within walking distance of downtown, these river-running specialists offer daily and weekly kayak rentals. If you need lessons, no problem, for the shop's river-savvy staff provides beginner classes for the novice and advanced river techniques for the experienced. It also offers the largest selection of kayak gear in Colorado, including top brands like Lotus Designs, Mountain Surf, and Eskimo.

This massive flagship store is not only a shop but also a tourist attraction. Housed in the historic Tramway Building, the folks at REI coughed up over USD28 million to transform the old structure into an outdoor retail mecca. Besides the usual array of outdoor gear and clothing, it also offers a 45-foot climbing wall, mountain bike test trail, children's play area and a cold room to test winter parkas. It is the only store in the world where one can possibly leave with frostbite, rope burns and bike saddle sores.

The great outdoors will seem even greater after visiting this discount outdoor adventure shop. Unlike other stores that make the same claim yet sell gear that is best suited for a backyard slumber party, this shop features only top-of-the-line gear by such makers as Sierra Designs and Moss. Everything on the shelves is either used, discontinued, overstocked, cosmetically blemished or closed-out. This allows for markdowns at 20 to 60 percent below retail. Ropes, tents, climbing shoes, clothing, sleeping bags, cookware and binoculars are just some of the items in stock.

Whether plans call for a quick pedal through the city or for a white-knuckled ride down a mountain switchback, this shop always carries the perfect two-wheeled prescription. Conveniently located in downtown Denver, near the Cherry Creek Bike Trail, these pedal power specialists offer half and full day rentals of both road and mountain bikes. All rentals include helmet and lock. Bikes can be reserved on-line or via phone. Walk-ins accepted.

For over 30 years, this shop has developed a devoted following of cyclists by offering a quality selection of bikes and gear. From Botanger and Bianchi, to Rock Shox and Ritchey, a wealth of name products, especially top line European and Asian products, are available. The service rates are reasonable and the turn around time for bike tune-ups is excellent. Although the shop has a number of dealer awards under its belt, it can at times seem a bit pretentious, especially to new riders.
