City brief
Denver
DEN · --:-- local
The city
Denver was staked out in 1858 during the Pike's Peak gold rush and named for Kansas territorial governor James W. Denver, who never lived here. The Mile High City sits at 5,280 feet. The west steps of the Capitol have a marker at one mile above sea level, and downtown is where Cherry Creek meets the South Platte, with the Front Range due west.
On this sit
Union Station and the 16th Street Mall are the downtown walk. The airport is east of the city: about 35 to 45 minutes in traffic, closer to 25 late at night. You are a mile up. Drink water, and the first beer is stronger than it is at home.
