"Denver is the Mile High City, the Queen City of the Plains, and the Gateway to the West. Lying at the base of th the Colorado Rockies, the river confluence that became Denver in 1858 has long been a crossroads, first for Indigenous peoples, then joined in the 19th century by trapper, explorers, miners, and cowboys.
