Paperback. There are 53 mountains in Colorado 14,000 feet or taller - all within relative striking distance West of the Mile-High City. And vast, unbroken plains stretch East like an ocean. This natural majesty can feel almost spiritual, and Denver is a reflection of this unique environment. The region's cultural, economic, and artistic hub, this singular city is the gateway to the American West. Locals call it New Denver. Alive with possibility, this industrial crossroads has morphed into a hip place for startups and artists, athletes, and breweries. The population is booming, and money and imagination infuse the city with energy. Practical and progressive, Denverites are proudly urban and independent. They ride electric bicycles and line dance at honky-tonks, work on freight trains and attend jazz clubs. But Denver still feels small. Naturally framed by the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains, Denver sits comfortably on the banks of the South Platte River. This is, literally, where the buffalo roamed, and many Native American tribes hunted here. Denver's old brick buildings and stately Victorian homes recall the city's founding in 1858 by gold miners and enterprising pioneers. Today's glass-fronted skyscrapers, upscale apartment buildings, and refurbished warehouses cater to people with a ken for reinvention. There's a brightness of spirit here, and Denver remains the place for new beginnings. AUTHOR: Philip D. Armour is a freelance journalist, editor, and author based in Colorado's Front Range. Published everywhere from The New York Times to Outside, he's equally comfortable skinning up 14ers and navigating Denver's backstreets. Philip has been enamored with "Paris on the Platte" since first visiting in 1992. If you're ever at Brother's Bar, please pay his tab. SELLING POINTS: .

Framed by the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains, Denver was founded on the banks of the South Platte River in 1858, where the buffalo actually roamed. This former mining depot and crossroads town is steeped in Western history, and it has grown into a hip place for artists, athletes, breweries, and startups. Nearby Boulder is a beacon for anyone wanting to be in a place distinctly known for its healthy outdoor lifestyle.
111 Places in Denver That You Must Not Miss invites you to discover the compelling stories and extraordinary locations unique to this part of the American West. A colourful cast of characters built this town – from Native Americans, pioneers, gold miners, and visionaries to skiers, entrepreneurs, beer-lovers, and thinkers – and they shape the region’s evolving nature to this day. Walk in the footsteps of the literary giants of the Beat generation. Pay homage at a powerful memorial to a World War II massacre. Or stand at the grave of a conductor on the Underground Railroad.
Denver and Boulder are kinetic, and people chase fun here. Learn the art of parkour, pick up a recycled bike, or float on a liquid cushion of salt water. Gaze upon buffalo that are the descendants from the original herds. Sip on what is (un)arguably Denver’s tastiest martini. And listen to the sounds of 10,000 bees in an acoustic garden.
Whether you’ve lived here forever, you’re a more recent resident yearning to explore your new home town, or you’re a visitor who keeps coming back, this guidebook opens doors to the exceptional wonders of Denver and Boulder.
