Timeline
15:59
Grab a blueberry muffin and an unusual brew at City O City. The vegan buffalo wings are excellent and bone-free, perfect for eating while people-watching before the evening rush.
16:44
Walk up to the Colorado State Capitol. Stand at the southern edge of the building and look west toward the skyline as the golden light begins to fade. This is the prime viewing angle for the sunset.
17:29
End the evening at the Homeless Jesus sculpture in Civic Center Park. The bronze figure sleeping on the bench offers a quiet, reflective contrast to the bright sunset you just witnessed.
Local tip
The walk from City O City to the Capitol takes about five minutes. The final stop is a short walk from the Capitol, making this a easy, linear route along the eastern edge of Downtown.
