Denver, Colorado, is known as the Mile High City for its elevation of exactly 5,280 feet above sea level. Denver’s weather can get very hot, but due to the lack of humidity even high temperatures can feel very pleasant (so long as you remember to wear sunscreen!), and on a nice summer day, visitors can enjoy a cold beer at one of the many craft breweries in the city, spend time in a paddleboat on the pond in Washington Park, or head out into the Rocky Mountains for an epic hike. Not far from Denver is Red Rocks Amphitheater, a stunning concert venue that is naturally formed from giant red rock formations, which hosts lots of amazing musicians throughout the season.
