Denver Attractions
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.
