Welcome to Denver!Denver is known as the "mile high city" because it is a mile above sea level. Founded upon its mineral wealth and once seen as the domain of cowboys and oilmen, today the city is a cosmopolitan mix of natural beauty and modern entertainment and very much viewed as one of the main gateways to the West. As the capital of Colorado it is the economic and cultural center of a wide area extending over the Great Plains and into the Rocky Mountains.
