The Mile High City, so named because it sits 5,280 feet high, is a rare metropolis, blessed with vibrant culture, historic neighborhoods, a dynamic restaurant scene, teams representing all of the major sports and a beautiful gold-domed state capitol. It also enjoys easy access to stunning wilderness, a vastness of mountains and alpine meadows, bighorn sheep, elk, black bear, trout-packed streams, hiking trails galore and some of the best skiing in the world.
