Mile-High City

Aptly nicknamed the "Mile-High City," Denver sits at an altitude of 1,600 m (5,280 ft) above sea level, located right where the Great Plains give way to the Rocky Mountains.
Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Denver: Garman Sculpture Works (in Oakland Park), Estes Park (Spas & Estes Park Guided Tours) and Colorado Springs (Garden of the Gods & National Museum of World War II Aviation). There's still lots to do: admire the natural beauty at Denver Botanic Gardens, look for gifts at Mountain Lux Candles, admire the masterpieces at Denver Art Museum, and contemplate the long history of Denver Union Station.

To see other places to visit, maps, and tourist information, read Denver tour itinerary planner.
