The City of Denver is located in the South Platte River Valley on the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The Denver downtown district is located immediately east of the confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River, approximately 15 miles east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Denver is nicknamed the "Mile-High City" because its official elevation is exactly one mile, above sea level.
Much of the city’s character is derived from the homes, buildings and public structures that line its streets. From ornate Victorian masterpieces to modern wonders of design, Denver Colorado is filled with architectural accomplishments. So while the mountains provide a spectacular backdrop, the architecture is even more spectacular. Start at Capitol Hill and make your way down the 16th Street Mall, and you will encounter some of the city’s greatest buildings and landmarks: Colorado State Capitol, Denver Art Museum, Trinity Methodist Church, Daniels & Fisher Tower, Union Station or Denver Millennium Bridge.
