Aptly nicknamed the "Mile-High City," Denver sits at an altitude of 1,600 m (5,280 ft) above sea level, located right where the Great Plains give way to the Rocky Mountains.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Denver: Colorado Springs (Garden of the Gods, Climbing Tours, &more), Chapel on the Rock (in Allenspark) and Cascade (North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop & Pikes Peak - America's Mountain).
