Denver

Denver is a city where the wide-open American West meets a buzzing, modern downtown. Sitting at exactly one mile above sea level, it earns its nickname “the Mile High City,” and you can actually see a marker on the steps of the State Capitol building showing where that altitude hits. The air feels crisp and thin, and on clear days the Rocky Mountains stretch across the entire western horizon like a giant painting.

The city has a wonderfully outdoorsy spirit. People here are obsessed with hiking, skiing, and cycling, and it shows in the friendly, active energy you feel everywhere you go. Denver is also famous for its food scene and its history as a frontier town that grew up fast during the gold rush of the 1800s. Whether you love nature, history, or just soaking up a lively city atmosphere, Denver has something exciting to offer.
