The city embraces its cowboy and mining past but also looks toward the future with a vibrant arts and performing arts scene, dozens of great outdoor festivals, and distinct neighborhoods each offering a unique experience. You'll find everything a cosmopolitan city has to offer including a spectacular view of and easy access to the beautiful Rocky Mountains, which are only 12 miles west of town.
Large mass transportation and freeway expansion projects have recently been completed, including the popular light rail system.

  1. Now I have the theme song of the TV series "Dynasty" in my mind (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjpCU4Zy9Cs)! The family in that series was living in Denver and the German title of it is "Denver Clan".
