Denver is a metropolis popularly known as the Mile High City. This capital of Colorado has been so-called by the latter because it sits 5,280 feet or a mile above sea level. This city is located in the South Platte River Valley, just east of the Rocky Mountains’ Front Range. Since the discovery of gold in the region during the late 1850s, Denver has grown into a colorful and bright city that enjoys 300 days of sunshine every year.

There is a variety of attractions available for locals and tourists to visit. Denver’s notable leisure and recreational centers include the Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Art Museum, and Denver Zoo. Denver residents can also opt to enjoy shopping in the sunny state by visiting Larimer Square, 16th Street Mall, and Denver Pavilion. Foodies can savor local dishes and specialties from different restaurants such as Rioja, The Capital Grille, and Guard and Grace.
