Denver

Denver is Colorado's capital and largest city, founded in 1858 where Cherry Creek meets the South Platte River and known as the Mile High City for its elevation of one mile above sea level. Its neighborhoods range from Victorian streets and early twentieth-century bungalows near downtown to mid-century communities along its northern and western edges, all linked by parks, trails, and tree-lined boulevards. The Front Range rises along the western horizon, and the foothills, Boulder, and the mountain towns along I-70 are all within an easy drive.
