Denver Hotels
DenverDenver didn’t get the nickname “The Mile High City” for just any reason. The steps of the Capitol Building are exactly 5.280 feet above sea level — that is precisely one mile! Its history dates back to the Early American gold rush when a few prospectors found gold flakes where Cherry Creek empties into the South Platte River. Of course the gold is now gone but that doesn’t mean there aren’t great reasons to visit the mile-high Denver. After World War II Denver exploded in population and now is the largest city between the Great Plains and the Pacific Ocean. If you like the sight of money then you won’t want to miss the U.S. Mint. There are four Mint’s in the United States but only Denver and Philadelphia will actually allow you to watch the process of money being made! For history buffs, don’t forget the Molly Brown House. Named after the “Unsinkable” Molly Brown, an infamous survivor of the Titanic disaster, it presents period authentic décor and early-20th century furnishings. For the animal lover check out the Denver Zoo with is recreated African Savanna housing lions, hyenas, and other African Predators.
