AIHce participants not only have the opportunity to partake in the conference and expo in the health and safety industry, but they also get the chance to experience the Mile High City. Denver’s hundreds of museums and galleries, shops, and restaurants make it the ideal city for the sophisticate, while its many bike paths and short distance from the Rockies make it paradise for the nature lover and adventure seeker. Must-see city attractions include the ever-popular Denver Zoo and Denver Botanical Gardens, LoDo (the lower downtown area), and the gold-domed State Capitol building. Visitors can also indulge in hot springs, enjoy whitewater sports and fly fishing, or take a tour of Colorado’s many “ghost towns” and dude ranches.
