Denver Hotels and City Guide : Guide Home Page

Time Off

Denver is known as the "Mile High City" due to its towering location on the high rolling plains at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. This spectacular position, combined with good transport links, has led to a thriving tourist industry centered on skiing, hiking, cycling, fishing and other outdoor activities. Far from its origins as a gold-mining camp and frontier town, it is now a smart, progressive city with an impressive collection of museums, theaters, restaurants and parks. Nearby is the United States Mint with the second-largest storehouse of gold bullion in the country.
