Denver OVERVIEW
Just take the Wild West beginnings with first flakes of gold found, blend it with the industrial era's technological and urban advance, add a hint of extraordinary natural beauty of the surrounding Rockies and there you have it, Denver, a city of a distinguishable character. The Mile High City, as it is called, is a place where the urban sprawl meets superb outdoor adventures for your unforgettable memories and award-winning photos. Come and explore some of Denver's sophistication in Five Points Victorian architecture, walk the quaint, tree-lined streets of Old South Gaylord and admire some French Gothic in the 210-foot high Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Or just let the city rock you with the best music venues of Colfax Avenue or LoDo. Visit in spring to celebrate the Cinco de Mayo festival or summer for the National Gay Rodeo Finals and PrideFest when the city's laidback attitude and cultural diversity speak the loudest of voices.
