I'm planning a short trip into the Denver area next week for no reason in particular. I expect to arrive on Tuesday and leave Wednesday afternoon after a museum visit or two and some basic sightseeing. If there's too much to do, I'd consider staying through another night and head home to Alberta more directly on Thursday.
I'm looking at the various airports in the area and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for best option. Hangar space for an RV-9A would be nice, access to a rental car would be good as well. General accessibility without having to contend with KDEN is a definite bonus. I'd even take sightseeing tips.
I only picked Denver because it's about the right distance away from me to make it a reasonably easy day of flying. Close to the mountains without being in them is a factor too. I know you just got hammered with some snow, but it looks like next week is looking up.
This is my first overnight trip in the plane and my first flying trip into the US, so more simple than complicated is a must.
Anyways, any experiences and suggestions would be appreciated.
