DENVER

If there’s a phrase for “elevated attitude,” Denver lives it—literally and figuratively. Sitting a mile above sea level, this city has its head in the clouds and its heart in the mountains. Stately buildings like the Colorado State Capitol and the Brown Palace Hotel showcase Denver’s frontier roots and Gilded Age ambition, while modern landmarks like the Denver Art Museum and Union Station prove it’s still a city with something to say.

But history isn’t all Denver has to offer. Street art spills across the RiNo Art District, where entire alleyways are canvases for internationally renowned muralists. In Five Points, you’ll trace the legacy of jazz greats and civil rights heroes, while Civic Center Park and Larimer Square offer a glimpse into Denver’s past and present city life—all beneath the ever-watchful Rockies.

And when you need a break from the pavement? We’ve got Cheesman Park’s wide, breezy paths and the serene borders of the Denver Botanic Gardens to catch your breath. This city isn’t all altitude—it’s attitude, and it knows how to slow down when the view gets good.

Need proof that Denver is a runner’s city? Just check the calendar. From the Colfax Marathon to endless trail and ultra events, the Mile High City is a magnet for athletes who like their scenery served with elevation.
