Review of Colorado State Capitol

Easily one of the most gorgeous capital buildings ...

Easily one of the most gorgeous capital buildings in the country. Explore the public building freely, and be sure to check out the museum on the 4th floor (take the stairs from Floor 3). From there you can access the dome, but only if you're part of a (free) tour. It's well worth it though - on a clear day, the views of the mountains and city are incredible.

Oh, and make sure to check out the "One Mile Above Sea Level" markers on the steps facing the mountains and Civic Park. They can be hard to miss, as they're embedded in the steps, halfway up the staircase.
