Denver CO, United States of America

Denver CO United States of America

Denver is the largest city and the capital of the state of Colorado. Denver is a young and vibrant city 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. A highlight of the Denver skyline is the Colorado State Capitol Building that looks like the US Capitol Building. Its shining gold dome commemorates the Colorado gold rush. Built in 1932, the Denver City Hall is an elegant and beautiful building, specially known for its grand display of lights during the Christmas season. Denver downtown, called the mile high city because of its closeness to Rocky Mountains, is a bustling commerce and cultural metropolis. Towering skyscrapers surround you and excellent restaurants abound. Step outside the city and soak in the fascinating Garden of the Gods. Massive rocks and unusual formations are sure to mesmerize you. Located close to Denver, the Rocky Mountains are one of the great mountain ranges of this planet offering an immersive experience with nature. This combination of urban sprawl and proximity to nature is what gives Denver its unique character and sets it apart as a destination.
