Welcome to the City of Denver, the State of Colorado's beautiful capital city situated at the base of the Rocky Mountains. Located on the western edge of the Great Plains, Denver is the largest city in the American Rocky Mountain region. This city is known as the "Mile High City" because its location is one mile above sea level. Enjoy these representative views of the many landmarks, parks, neighborhoods, shopping districts and public buildings in the City and County of Denver.

Denver is a popular relocation spot because it is a clean, young and green city with dozens of tree-lined boulevards. The city has the largest park system in the nation, with 205 parks inside city limits and 20,000 acres of parks in the nearby mountains. Moreover, the area is rewarded with sunny skies nearly 300 days a year, which squashes any myths of it being a land of harsh weather.
