At the threshold of the Rocky Mountains lies the city known as the “mile high city”, Denver Colorado. Denver was a “gold rush” town established in the late 1850’s, that later survived due the other mineral wealth such as silver. The city is uniformly flat with a majestic view of the Rocky Mountains to the west and the open plains to the east.
Denver is not lacking in attractions and entertainment. In the winter, skiing resorts are plentiful for the outdoor thrill seeker. Mountain climbing all four seasons is always a very popular activity. For the less daring at heart, are numerous hiking trails.
For the sports enthusiast, Denver offers professional basketball- the Denver Nuggets- hence the gold rush era- and the Denver Broncos professional football team. While on assignment in Denver, taking in a football game and/or a basketball game is definitely a must!
For the quieter side of entertainment, visiting Denver Botanic Gardens is an option. These gardens are 21 acres of botanical theme gardens. There are Japanese gardens overlooking goldfish ponds and bonsai trees. Visit the Dr. Seuss, Winnie-the-Pooh and other favorite characters in the storybook gardens.
