As we approached Denver the conversation in the car centered around one topic or better yet, one question-- Are those clouds or mountains? It was a bright, sunny January day and the Rocky Mountains were covered in snow. There were clouds resting just above the mountains and no one in the car could decide if the mountains that we were seeing were actually mountains or more clouds. It kept us all staring out the window and debating the issue. Eventually as we got closer to Denver, it was decided that we were in fact seeing the snow-capped Rocky Mountains.

The sight of the city nestled so close to such amazing natural beauty was perfection. That’s when I knew I had arrived. I was aware that Denver is called the Mile High City (it sits at roughly 5,280 feet), but I thought the drive to it would be more uphill. As a matter of fact, I never noticed any incline.

Before moving to Colorado I was under the impression that Colorado was snowy and cold all the time, but I quickly learned that this is not the case. The state enjoys about 300 days of sunshine annually, and because of this, snow in lower elevations tends to melt within a couple days. The weather here is mild year-round, and I like the fact that we have distinct transitions into each season. Every year I have a difficult time deciding which is my favorite.

My love for Colorado must be apparent by now and for this reason I have decided to share all of the things that make this place so special. I have made it a point to not only include Denver, but all of the surrounding areas that are worth a visit. I hope those of you planning a trip to Denver find this site useful, but I also wish the same for those of you who reside here. There is an endless amount of sights to see and activities to enjoy in this area and deciding what to do is your biggest dilemma, especially when planning for a short stay. Hopefully this site will be of great help when choosing the most suitable activities for you and your fellow travelers.
