Discover Denver by Ear: Autio’s Local Stories App Tour

The Experience
Before You Go
Download and Redeem First
Redeem the code and download the Autio app before you leave Wi‑Fi to ensure stories and maps load correctly.
Carry a Power Pack
Streaming narration can drain your phone—bring a battery pack if you plan multiple sessions or a drive to Red Rocks.
Use One Earbud in Crowds
Leave one ear free when walking busy sidewalks for awareness of traffic and cyclists.
Follow Local Transit Options
Neighborhoods like LoDo and RiNo are well served by light rail and buses—consider parking once and using transit to avoid circling.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Confluence Park’s quieter west bank—good for skyline photos and fewer crowds
- •RiNo mural alleys and small artist studios off the main drag
Wildlife
- •Red‑tailed hawk hunting over the Platte
- •Urban mule deer along city greenways in the cooler months
Conservation Note
Autio encourages low‑impact exploration—stick to sidewalks and public paths, support local businesses featured in stories to reinvest in neighborhoods.
Denver began as an 1858 mining supply hub and grew around rail lines and rivers; many LoDo buildings retain their Victorian mercantile bones.
Photographer's Notes
- • Confluence Park (river and skyline composition)
- • Upper rim of Red Rocks Amphitheatre for angled light on the formations
