Denver Colorado, nicknamed the Mile High City because of its elevation--exactly 5280 ft (one mile) above sea level, was originally settled as a mining town on the banks of the South Platter River. The original Denver City serviced local miners with gambling, saloons, livestock and goods trading. Denver City was incorporated in 1861, became the territorial capital in 1867, the permanent state capital in 1881 and then shortened its name to Denver.
With 300 days of sunshine, the front range to the Rocky Mountains to the west, and the confluence of the South Platte River and Cherry Creek; Denver is an amazing place to live or visit. Denver is the second most populous city in the Mountain West (after Phoenix AZ), was named the #1 Best Place to live in the Us by US News & World Report (2016) and was selected as America's favorite City for a Ski Trip by Travel & Leisure (2017).
According to City-data.com the 2019 population of Denver was 727,211; the estimated median household income was $75,646; and the estimated median cost of a single family home or condo was $447,500.
Denver boasts more than 500 urban acres of recreation in more than 200 parks and trails which offer a plethora of options for the outdoor enthusiasts--walking, running, biking, swimming, golfing, boating and so many more activities. Among the favorite Denver city parks are: Washington Park, Confluence Park, Sloan's Lake Park, Central Park, Skyline Park (with a winter skate area) and Civic Center Park. City Park is home to a public golf course, the Denver Zoo and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.
Other great museums in Denver include the Denver Firefighter's Museum, the Molly Brown House Museum, the Forney Museum of Transportation, the Denver Art Museum, the Denver Mint (although not technically a museum, tours are available) and Meow Wolf. Concerts, plays and other performances can be enjoyed at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, the Buell Theater or the Paramount Theatre.
The Denver Botanic Gardens, Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park, and the Downtown Aquarium are all options for more fun and recreation.
Foodies won't be disappointed in Denver either. Fine dining and local eating establishments abound. The Source, Avanti, the Denver Milk Market, Union Station and Larimer Square each offer multiple restaurants.
Shopping opportunities include big box stores at Denver Pavillios, high end retail at Cherry Creek Shopping Center, and local shops along the 16th Street Mall.
Denver hosts many different festivals and events yearly. The "best 16 days in January" occur during the National Western Stockshow--the premier livestock, rodeo, and horse show in the nation since 1904. The Stockshow kicks off with a parade-complete with a cattle drive-to celebrate Denver's western traditions.
The Colorado Dragon Boat Festival, the Denver Oktoberfest, the Denver Film Festival, the Great American Beer Festival, and the Denver Broncos Annual 7K Fun Run are just a few of the yearly festivals in the city of Denver.
Additionally, five professional sports teams play at the three different downtown sports arena. The Denver Broncos play at Empower Field, the Colorado Rockies play at Coors Field, and the Denver Nuggets, the Colorado Avalanche and the Colorado Mammoth (lacrosse) all play at the Ball Arena.
So much to do, so little time! And Denver holds limitless possibilities as a basecamp for exploring the nearby Rocky Mountains! So much to love, so little time!
