Denver, officially the City and County of Denver, is the capital and most populous municipality of the U.S. state of Colorado. Denver is located in the South Platte River Valley on the western edge of the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The Mile High City, so named because it sits at 5,280 feet above sea level or one-mile-high, Denver has been rocking since the late 1850s when gold was discovered around Cherry Creek. Today, it is one of America’s hottest cities to live and play in and a great place to visit. With the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop and more than 300 days of sunshine per year, Denver is a visually appealing metropolis, filled with a variety of sights and attractions for everyone, from families to couples. Whether you are wandering the Denver Art Museum, doing some shopping and gallery hopping in Cherry Creek North, or visiting animals at the Denver Zoo, day or night, there is no shortage of things to do.

The city also home to several parks, including Civic Center Park in the heart of downtown, Washington Park, Cheesman Park, and City Park in surrounding neighborhoods. Just outside the city limits are Denver’s most famous park: Red Rocks Park & Amphitheater, which is one of the top outdoor concert venues in the U.S.
