Colorado State Capitol

Why go

Start with the west steps, where multiple elevation markers show how the celebrated mile-high point has been measured over time. Inside, the rotunda, stained glass and Colorado stone give the civic building its character. A guided tour is the way to seek the dome view, subject to current tour access.

What to look for

• The gold-leaf dome above the Civic Center area
• Several mile-high elevation markers on the west steps
• Rotunda, stained glass and Colorado stone inside

Useful to know

• Check the official tour calendar and holiday closures before going.
• The dome climb uses stairs; use the captioned video alternative if stairs are unsuitable.
• Pair the Capitol with Civic Center Park directly to the west.
