How Denver Quietly Became The Unofficial Capital Of These 10 Things

There are many unique and wonderful qualities that make Denver the wonderful city that it is. Here in the Mile High City we are known for being fit, drinking beer, getting outdoors, and getting high (in more ways than one). Denver could easily be deemed capital of the following 10 amazing attributes.

1. Sunshine

That glorious sun finds a way to shine almost 300 days per year here in Denver and we're not afraid to brag about it.

2. Exercise Enthusiasts

Want to keep motivated in your fitness regime? Make your way to Denver where you will be surrounded by like-minded folks who aim to stay healthy.

3. City Parks

If you are in search of a beautiful setting to get in that exercise or simply set up a picnic, you don't have to look far. City parks are plentiful in Denver.

4. Green Chile

It's true. We like to smother our food in delicious green chile and you can find it offered on most menus around the Mile HIgh City.

3. Getting HIgh

Whether we like it or not, the Mile High City is known for being one of the first cities in the U.S. to legalize marijuana.

6. Brunch

It's more than just a meal in the Mile HIgh City...it's an experience.

7. Craft Beer

Beer lovers unite in Denver. With a craft beer brewery on nearly every corner, the options are endless.

8. Rocky Mountain Oysters

There's not many other places that specialize in this delicacy (also known as deep fried bull testicles).

9. Getting Outside

With our beautiful surroundings and plentiful sunshine, we can't help but get outdoors and soak it all in.

10. Gorgeous Views

It's pretty tough to compete with our beautiful Rocky Mountain backdrop and glowing skies at sunrise and sunset.
