Union Station in Full Christmas Mode

While the stunning train station is worth a snap all year round, Union Station is especially worth Instagram gold during the holiday season, when green and red lights illuminate the grand exterior, a massive tree dominates the interior floor, and smaller decorations abound.

Union Station
1701 Wynkoop St., Denver, CO 80202

Hot Springs in Steamboat Springs

Skip the ski slopes in Steamboat and head instead to these natural hot springs, the perfect snowy escape for anyone who could do without winter sports or frostbite. The 104 degree mineral water at Strawberry Park will soothe away any muscle soreness or seasonal affective disorder, especially when a selfie lounging in the steamy water racks up crazy likes.

Blossom of Lights at the Denver Botanic Gardens

You won’t believe the incredible array of lights decorating the trees at the Botanic Gardens’ annual Blossom of Lights installation, and neither will your followers. The event has been running for over three decades, making it a Denver tradition, and the newest iteration includes a “360-degree immersive light experience” as well as fan-favorite lights. Grab a complimentary cup of hot cocoa and start exploring for the most picturesque spot in a garden full of ‘em.

Civic Center Park

Right by the Capitol Building and the Denver Art Museum, Civic Center Park provides many snowy scenes for snapping, especially among the classical arches of the pavilion. Try to capture the Capitol Building’s beautiful golden dome during the day, or revel in the rainbow lights on the City Council building at night.
