Located at the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, the capital city of Colorado was established by a party of prospectors on November 22, 1858, after gold was found at the confluence of Cherry Creek and Platte River and is now the site of Denver's bustling downtown.

Denver is widely known both to residents and visitors alike to have a vibrant art community.

There are a plethora of opportunities to see a professional sports team in action. The city boasts the highest number of professional teams in the country, with eight. In addition to the local professional teams, three Division I schools occupy most of the college sports landscape in Colorado.

The beautiful state of Colorado is absolutely loaded with parks and outdoor recreation. Even in the Denver area you can find plenty of activities to occupy your free time and get in some good exercise at the same time.
