depends on her age and how much you want to expose her to. i personally loved denver when i lived there, but it will definitely be sketch for a lone female.
completely avoid five points, colfax, and mlk blvd. can be dangerous and i've seen several 15-20 person black gangs at night, and smaller groups (5-10) during the day at bus stations/light rails. i'd also avoid commerce city.
drugs are rampant, homeless people are everywhere and they are very pushy. don't even talk to them, i've offered to buy them food before and they got violent. limit all interactions with hobos to zero. i've seen hobos throw liquor bottles at couples, break 'em over people, i've even had them do it to me and a couple of friends because i wouldn't let them "borrow my phone". i would just recommend altogether not going anywhere alone. lol. there are awesome things to do everywhere, but i would discourage going lone wolf on the town at night. great city but not really "visitor friendly".
