Closest Dispensaries Near Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center

Denver International Airport (DIA) is a great hub for travelers from all around the globe. It serves as both a destination to the Centennial State and also a gateway to many other wonderful areas of the world. But many people scratch their heads over the airport’s not-so-convenient location. Even though DIA is considered one of the more trafficked airports in the United States, it sits on the eastern outskirts of Denver and can be a bit of a pain to navigate to and from – making things like lodging accommodations and food selection fairly limited in the surrounding vicinity. Don’t worry though, that’s all about to change.

Only minutes away from the airport, Gaylord Rockies will serve as a sanctuary for people looking to explore Colorado’s natural beauty. The hotel will be equipped with indoor and outdoor water activities, many options for both casual and formal dining, easy access to the mountains and much more! Even better? There are some awesome cannabis dispensaries nearby as well!

So, your airplane has touched down at Denver International Airport. As you walk out the doors you have two things on your mind: 1) What’s up with the weird, apocalyptic art in that airport? 2) Where is the closest dispensary?

Since you’ll be staying at the Gaylord Rockies Hotel and not in Denver proper, driving 60 miles roundtrip to visit the Green Mile seems a little too far out of your way. This may have you questioning if your visit to the Mile High city will only be about the altitude and none of the high? Relax. There are plenty of dispensaries just a short drive from the Gaylord Rockies Resort that offer the same quality bud and product selection as you’ll find in the heart of Denver. So grab your luggage from the overhead compartment and read on for our list of the closest dispensaries to the Gaylord Rockies Resort and DIA.

Family owned and operated, Medicine Man offers daily specials on all their strains, which are grown, trimmed, and cured with care.
