  1. A

    REI

    The flagship store of this outdoor equipment supplier is an essential stop for those using Denver as a springboard into the great outdoors. In addition to top gear for camping, cycling, climbing and skiing, they have a rental department, maps and the Pinnacle: a 47ft indoor structure of simulated red sandstone for climbing and repelling.

    There's also a desk of Colorado's Outdoor Recreation Information Center, where you can get information on state and national parks and an on-site Starbucks, in case you need some caffeine to accompany the adrenaline.

    Wilderness Exchange Unlimited

    Although it's easy to spend some serious cash at the enormous REI just up the street, it's worth looking into Wilderness Exchange Unlimited before you put down the plastic. In addition to carefully selected outdoor equipment, this shop has an impressive collection of quality used gear (including good deals on hiking boots and down jackets) in the basement.
