Introduction

You can tell from its skyline alone that Denver is a major metropolis, with a major league-baseball stadium at the center of downtown and parking-meter rates that rival even Chicago and New York. But look to the west to see where Denver distinguishes itself. You'll be driving along Interstate 70, for example, contemplating the industrial warehouses on the way back from Denver International Airport, and suddenly the Rocky Mountains, snow-peaked and breathtakingly huge, appear in the distance. This combination of urban sprawl and proximity to nature is what gives the city character. People spend their weeks commuting to LoDo, the business district and historic downtown, and their weekends reveling in the multitude of skiing, camping, hiking, bicycling, and fishing areas surrounding the city limits.
