Denver Mint

The Birth of Denver Colorado

From a small mining town, Denver has grown not only for its historical settings, but due to its various nature parks and sports teams. As currently one of the vacation hotspots in the US, it also boasts of elegant and classic hotels.

Denver City first started as a mining town during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush in Western Kansas. Denver was founded in November 1858. During that summer, a group of gold prospectors from Kansas arrived. They established Montana City on the banks of the South Platte River. This was the first settlement. Later on, it became the city of Denver. General William Larimer, a land speculator from Eastern Kansas, named the place after Governor James W. Denver.

Denver now boasts of over 200 parks. This is from some small parks to the giant parks all over the city. These parks have become the tourist spot in the area. This city maintained and acquired around 14,000 acres or about 56 km2 of mountain parks like the Red Rocks Park.

The Red Rocks Park is famous for its beautiful scenery as well as musical history which revolve around the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Denver also has the Winter Park Resort ski area which is operated in Grand County, about 67 miles west of the city. Hence, it continuously develops its park system along the Platte River and in the Stapleton neighborhood redevelopment.

Denver is at the threshold of the Rocky Mountains. Its skyscrapers mark the evolution between the Great Plains and the American West. The Rocky Mountains majestic peaks can be observed from afar and is still clearly visible. It is obviously a haven as well as the obvious point of arrival for thrill seekers that are heading into the mountains. Mountaineers, hikers, bikers, rock climbers and even trekkers will find the terrains a different experience, surely changing your life with the experience. The 2,000 acre land can offer you ample time for any escapade on your list of activities.

For those who are more of the scholarly type, you can visit the Denver Art Museum which houses the premium collections of the American Indian's artifacts. Another destination for kids would be the Denver Zoo, Children's Museum and the Botanic Garden. Aside from all these, you can inquire about the United States Mint for a free tour of the county.

Memorable sights can really make your stay in Denver worthwhile. Staying in Top hotels will cost much but the service you will receive is high end. Cheap hotels or motels can offer you good services at a more economical price for the family. This is good for couples or even those who travel alone. These days where practicality is a wise step, people can save some extra money when they seek cheap and good hotels.

As a hot spot for travellers and for vacation trippers, the City of Denver also boasts of its remarkable history, sporting events and museums. This is one reason why it is known as the "Mile High City". The reason for this nick name is the elevation of the land which would go at approximately 5280 feet or 1609 meters above sea level. Statistically, it is the 26th most populous city in the United States of America. It is also the second largest city in the Mountain West, next to Phoenix.

Hence, Denver is very famous for its sports teams. In fact, they have four major sport teams. This includes the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL). Their current home is the Invesco Field at Mile High. Their team won a back to back championship in the years 1998 and 1999. Another team called Coors Field of the Major league Baseball was also created by the former Mayor, Frederico Pena. The Colorado Rockies, on the other hand, represent an expansion franchise in 1993. Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League Ave won two Stanley cups, in the years 1996 and 2001. Thus, the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association, the Denver Outlaws of the Professional Outdoor Lacrosse team and the Major League Soccer team named Colorado Rapids are also other teams that Denver is proud of, making every season a sports season in the region.
