Denver is called the Mile High City because most of it sits at 5,280 feet, which is one mile above sea level. There's a marker on the steps of the capital building in the heart of the city, indicating exactly one vertical mile; it's a popular photo spot for visitors, and you'll see the number 5280 all over town, whether it's on a magazine cover or as a price for something. 



This city is a metropolitan cow-town, and it's a lot of fun. It boasts seven professional sports teams, the second largest performing arts complex in the world, several museums, gardens, an aquarium, a major theme park, an international airport and world class outdoor sports within a day's trip from downtown Denver. None of that, however, takes away from the down-home friendliness and charm of the city and the citizens who have come from all over the world to live here. From the National Western Stock Show in January to the start of Denver Bronco's football season in September, and the holy of holies... opening day on the slopes in the Rocky Mountains, this city has something good for everyone.  Find yourself, find peace, excitement, culture, wilderness, unparalleled beauty, and adventure in the biggest metropolitan area in the wild, wild west.

One of the things to remember is that Denver is not the highest altitude in the area; there are several '14ers' nearby; mountains reaching over fourteen thousand feet, which attract outdoor sports enthusiasts. Please remember that if you are unaccustomed to high altitudes, you may want to read up on helpful tips found on Moxie's Health page before you come visit. Don't forget to buy the t-shirt that asks: Got Oxygen?
