Denver, Colorado — known as the Mile High City — sits on the high plains just east of the Rocky Mountains. Contrary to popular belief, Denver itself is not in the mountains, but the foothills begin rising about 15 miles west of the city, leading to the dramatic peaks of the Front Range and the Continental Divide.
Denver is located on gently rolling high plains at exactly 5,280 feet above sea level — one mile high. The famous “mile-high step” on the west side of the Colorado State Capitol marks this elevation and is one of the city's most recognizable landmarks.
