DENVER (CITY) 16 images Created 30 Dec 2011
Denver is the capital of the State of Colorado, and the 26th largest city in the United States in terms of population.
At the steps of the Colorado State Capitol, visitors will be intrigued by the marker indicating that they are standing exactly 5,280 feet (one mile) above sea level. This is why Denver is renown as "The Mile High City".
Denver's location is also captivating because it was established literally where the extremely flat American plains encounter the rugged terrain of the majestic Rocky Mountains, the rooftops of the continental United States.
If you love the excitement of the city, but still wish to escape to nature, Denver offers this. You can depart the Colorado Convention Center in downtown at noon and find yourself surrounded by the tremendous, commanding Rocky Mountains in 20 minutes!
Denver is an undeniable gem of a city, which boasts more days of sunshine each year than either Miami or San Diego!
Please enjoy your tour and don't forget to acclimate to the altitude!
