Travel to Denver peaks during the summer, when the weather is at its finest for those who enjoy sun and warmth, and during the mid-November to mid-April ski season. However, with the numerous colleges and universities in the city, including the University of Denver and Regis University, and the broad range of local attractions, there are visitors year round. Average airfare from New York City and Los Angeles, before fees and taxes and with advance planning, is around $250, from Miami about $325.
