Denver is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Colorado. We have decided that is no longer its problem.

"Mile High, Mildly Dizzy"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing a single mountain permanently obscured by a cloud that is either weather or wildfire smoke, flanked by a craft brewery tap and a bicycle, with a Latin motto roughly translating to 'We Get Sunshine 300 Days a Year, We Swear'.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★★☆ 4/5
"Came for the 'mile high' novelty, left with a headache and a $19 beer from a rooftop bar that also had a marijuana dispensary next to a REI, which felt very on-brand. The weather changed four times in one afternoon - sunny, hail, snow, sunny again - and nobody but me seemed bothered. Great views of the Rockies if the smog cooperates, and everyone in athleisure looks disturbingly fit compared to me."— Barry Lungfield, sea-level Florida
Property Listing
Stunning starter condo just 20 minutes from the mountains (in zero traffic, which never happens) with breathtaking Rocky views on the 12 clear days a year! Priced to reflect the booming tech scene, the excellent breweries, and absolutely nothing to do with the fact you'll need supplemental oxygen and a second mortgage.
Twinned With
Leadville — Both towns think their absurd elevation is a personality trait and will remind you constantly.
Supporting Evidence
Denver's official elevation is exactly 5,280 feet, marked by a step on the State Capitol building - though surveying disputes mean the 'true' one mile line has been re-marked three separate times.
