Denver is an outdoor city with spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains and plenty of urban adventures for all ages. Founded in 1858 as a gold mining camp, Denver is located at the base of the majestic Rocky Mountains, 5,280 feet (1,609meters) above sea level – exactly one mile high. Explore The Mile High City’s 300 days of sunshine, chef-driven cuisine, local breweries serving craft beer and unique live music venues like the famous Red Rocks Park &Amphitheatre. Visit the Denver Art Museum with its famous Indigenous art and Western art collections, see the giant blue bear public art sculpture, shop at Cherry Creek or get an authentic western shirt at the iconic Rockmount Ranch Wear. Denver combines historic Victorian brick buildings in Larimer Square and LoDo (Lower Downtown) with the bold architecture of today, all within a laid-back, walkable city center.
