Colorado Blvd, Thornton

Colorado Boulevard is a major gateway to the wiles of downtown Denver. If you turn onto Colorado from Hampden Avenue and head toward the city, you will see just about everything. From the Countryclub lifestyle, to some of the seedier areas of town. Continue further into the heart of Denver, and you will approach Cherry Creek Drive where there is some posh shopping at Cherry Creek shopping center, and even further down Colorado you will approach Denver Zoo and City Park. There are plenty of places to eat from Hooters wings to Israeli cuisine. An interesting place, depending on where you choose to stop!

Colorado Boulevard is a north/south three- to four-lane street (depending on where you are) that is located on the eastern side of Denver. You may connect to several highways from Colorado, and the street is adjacent to some of the city's finest attractions as well as mixed retail. Up north you will find the Colorado Museum of Nature and Science and will be a stone's throw away from the Denver Zoo. There is also City Park, the largest park in the metro area and the Park Hill Golf Course. Further south you will find retail of all types and can access the world-class Cherry Creek Mall, just a few blocks west of Colorado Boulevard. Near the end of the major stretch you will also find the nostalgic University Hills area and Wellshire Golf Course and Restaurant. It is a fine street to cruise on, with something for everybody.
