About Denver

     From the moment you step off the plane in the Mile High City, you realize there's something a little different in the air. Well, the air is thinner, of course, and flatlanders notice it's harder to breathe at first. After boarding the shuttle to Denver International's baggage claim, you may recognize the catchy Western musical jingle signifying the tram stops. Or, maybe it's the person beside you wearing the Stetson hat who grabs your attention. The airport in itself is a local icon--the white billowing tent of a roof architecturally interpreting the snowcapped peaks gracefully looming in the distance.
     This all adds up to a cosmopolitan city with a hint of the Old West and a healthy dose of awe-inspiring scenery. Colorful neighborhoods like LoDo and Cherry Creek present upscale dining, entertainment and shopping choices while world-class attractions include everything from art and cultural offerings to an 80-acre zoological park. And naturally, the majestic Rockies beckon outdoor enthusiasts to come play. Whether you care to hike, bike, climb, ski, kayak, play golf or drive rugged mountain passes, Denver's captivating Alpine splendor sets an impressive stage upon which to indulge in your favorite diversion.
     The rumor of gold in Cherry Creek in 1858 swept eastward, and "Pikes Peak or Bust" became the rallying cry of hopefuls on their way to what was touted as the new El Dorado. Within a few months the slogan turned bitter. Instead of the $6 to $10 that the press promised, a day's panning yielded about 25c. The prosperity of Auraria and Denver City was based on speculation and over-priced goods, not gold.
     Many went home. Denver City and Auraria bolstered their sluggish economies with gambling and pleasure-based enterprises. But the tale of a strike on Clear Creek was true. Into Denver City and Auraria poured the wealth from the mines. Thus Denver was born--Auraria and Denver City consolidated in 1860--and continued to ride the same wild economic roller-coaster as the rest of the region.
     Denver became capital of the new Colorado Territory in 1861. It survived the usual frontier disasters of fire and flood, always rebuilding better than before. The community grew rapidly when the railroad linked it to the rest of the country. Gold, then silver, created millionaires. The collapse of the silver market in 1893 plunged Denver into bankruptcy, but the discovery of gold at Cripple Creek the next year quickly revived the city's sagging economy.
     Denver bears little resemblance to the brawling, dusty village of yesteryear. Glass and steel towers give the city a serrated profile as dramatic as the mountain skyline to the west. Bold contemporary structures adjoin elaborate Victorian houses in a lively urban blend.
     The character of Denver is a combination of Eastern cosmopolitanism and Western pioneer spirit. Larimer Square, 1400 Larimer St., is a revitalized downtown area that resembles the Denver of the 1880s, complete with boutiques, craft shops, art galleries, flower stalls and restaurants.
     Sakura Square, at 18th and Lawrence streets, serves as a center for Japanese culture in this multinational metropolis. Also, the contributions of Hispanic culture are everywhere; many signs are bilingual.
     The Civic Center is a three-block area bounded by W. Colfax Avenue, W. 14th Avenue Parkway and Broadway and Cherokee streets. Within it are the public library, art museum, City and County Building, Greek Amphitheater, Pioneer Monument and Veteran's Memorial.
     The city is more than a manufacturing, distribution and transportation center--it is on the energy frontier. Denver is the headquarters for many companies that research and develop the known reserves of fossil fuel as well as alternative energy sources.
     As cosmopolitan as the city itself is the array of cultural, educational and recreational opportunities. Art museums and musical and theatrical productions abound. The Museum of Outdoor Arts in the Englewood Civic Center displays more than 100 works of art throughout the civic center and Greenwood Plaza business park. Maps are available at the museum's indoor gallery on the second floor of the civic center at 1000 Englewood Pkwy., Suite 2-230; phone (303) 806-0444.
     Spectator sports, particularly football, basketball and hockey, attract avid fans. The city also hosts professional teams for baseball, soccer, lacrosse and arena football.
     Educational institutions include a branch of the University of Colorado, with an enrollment of more than 29,000; Metropolitan State College, with an enrollment of more than 21,000; Teikyo Loretto Heights College; University of Denver, where students number approximately 10,400; Community College of Denver; Regis University, with a student body near 12,000; and several theological schools.
     Denver also has a comprehensive system of mountain parks. Seventeen municipally owned mountain areas within 72 miles cover about 14,000 acres in the foothills of the Rockies. Connected by 100 miles of highways, the chain of mountains extends 50 miles westward to Summit Lake and about 20 miles southward. A popular loop trip links several of these parks (see What To Do, Sightseeing).
