Jack Kerouac would have been 100 on March 12. Celebrate by hitting the road in our slide show of Denver locations that inspired his book and the Beat generation.
On the RoadJack Kerouac, who would have celebrated his 100th anniversary on March 12, visited Denver for the first time in 1947. He’d been told by a friend at Columbia University that he should meet up with Neal Cassady, a legendary free spirit, raconteur and troublemaker.
Kerouac was only in town for ten days that time, but the Mile High City made an enduring impression on him, and its sights and sounds — not to mention Cassady, transformed into Dean Moriarty — figure prominently in, his most enduring work. Here are just some of the spots where Cassady and Kerouac hung out in Denver.
