It’s another hot summer in The Mile High City. We’ve already reached the upper 90s, and it’s not even July yet. Luckily, your luxury apartment at The Residences stays nice and cool this summer. If you want to get outside, here are a few ways to stay cool in the Denver area this summer.

​Cool Off with Culture

Step inside and cool off at one of Denver’s famous museums. The AC will be up, and your mind will be blown by the culture and beautiful exhibits at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science or the Denver Art Museum.

​Find a Reservoir

Spend the day in the cool waters of one of the area’s reservoirs. Cherry Creek Reservoir is just minutes from The Residences. You could also venture west to Chatfield or Bear Creek for an afternoon of paddleboard fun.

Run For the Hills

If you need an excuse to visit the mountains, there isn’t a better one than seeking cooler temperatures. Enjoy an afternoon at one of the small mountain towns. Idaho Springs, Evergreen, and even Keystone are not that far away. Great views, cooler temps, you can’t go wrong.

Food, Cocktails, and Shopping

What’s better than enjoying a hot walk along a sidewalk and then stepping into an air-conditioned shop or restaurant? In Cherry Creek, you have plenty of options to enjoy a stroll, then cool off by browsing a local store or enjoying a cold drink at one of the area's fine dining establishments. Check out Cherry Creek North restaurants and bars.

As the summer heats up, hopefully these ideas will keep you cool. Whether you explore Denver or the mountains, you can have peace of mind that you’re coming home to luxury at The Residences at Fillmore Plaza.
