Denver, the capital of Colorado and known as the "Mile High City," sits at 5,280 feet above sea level. At this altitude, the air is dry and thin (drink plenty of water) and the sun shines more than 300 days a year (don't forget to pack sunscreen). No matter where sightseeing takes you in the city, you'll never lose sight of a very reliable compass: the glorious, snow-capped Rocky Mountains to the west.Founded as a gold-mining camp in 1858, Denver still embodies its Old West heritage today: cowboy boots and cowboy hats are as welcome in upscale restaurants as high heels and silk ties. Denver's manageable downtown is home to towering office buildings, historic and luxurious hotels, and numerous eateries-from gourmet bistros to upbeat brewpubs to casual outdoor cafes. Want to sample an only-in-Colorado delicacy? Ask a local where you can sample Rocky Mountain Oysters. (Hint: These items hail from cattle, not the sea.)
