Ever wondered what it feels like to stand on top of the world, or at least, the highest incorporated city in the United States? Colorado offers that unique experience, a blend of breathtaking landscapes and record-setting elevations, a testament to the state's dramatic topography.
The Centennial State is a land of contrasts, from the bustling metropolis of Denver, often called the "Mile High City" for its 5,280-foot elevation, to the serene peaks of the Rocky Mountains. While Denver, with its 716,577 residents, might not be nestled deep within the mountains, the city is undeniably shaped by their presence. A panoramic vista stretching 140 miles reveals 200 visible peaks, 32 of which pierce the sky at over 13,000 feet. But Denver is just the beginning of Colorado's altitude story.
