| History of Denver Denver's history as a boom and bust town began with the desire for gold. In 1858, a group of prospectors were exploring the Kansas Territory, which then included what is now Colorado, and discovered piles of the precious metal where the Platte River and Cherry Creek meet. One of the prospectors, William Larimer, established Denver City in an area then populated by the Arapaho Native American tribe, who camped along the banks of Cherry Creek while hunting and gathering. Over the next two years, the eastern states were gripped by a new gold fever. 100,000 hopefuls pioneered across the harsh landscape to the territory, seeking instant prosperity. The influx of these pioneers moved the Native Americans out and forced them to move on. Meanwhile the settler population soared, causing the federal government to create the Colorado Territory. And, thus, began Denver's first boom, inspiring its mythical image as a Wild West town ruled by the material interest in gold. Touring Denver Denver is a geographically isolated city sitting exactly one mile above sea level and over 600 barren miles from the next closest major city. Concealed from the west by foothills and towering 14,000-foot peaks, and protected to the east by an expansive and high desert terrain, it is a place where everybody seems to be from "somewhere else". Today, modern-day pioneers and tourists, alike, come to Denver where they can get their rental cars at Denver International Airport (DEN) for world-class skiing and biking, serene hiking and intense rock climbing. They travel here from far and wide to drink the famous microbrews, stand in the humbling presence of massive peaks or find prosperity in the booming computer and telecommunications economy. The result is a blending yet cohesive neighborhoods, filled with diversity and charm. Travel from the Denver International Airport in your rental car to Civic Center Park and the 16th Street Mall, a mile-long, tree-lined pedestrian promenade. Downtown is the perfect place to begin your holiday tour by exploring the Denver. Downtown's vital mix of government, entertainment, business and sport make its central business district the envy of the West.

Shop at the Denver Pavilions and Tabor Center or take in a Broadway show at one of the eight theaters comprising the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Drive your rental car or van to the shores of Colorado's Ocean Journey or include in your holiday an adventure at Six Flags Elitch Gardens. After a long day of sightseeing, relax in a brewpub and enjoy a microbrew, or treat yourself to a fine dining experience at one of downtown's excellent restaurants. Lower downtown, termed LoDo by locals, was virtually empty 10 years ago. But since the opening of Coors Field, home to baseball's Colorado Rockies, this 20-block district of 19th-century brick buildings has come alive with energy and entertainment. The Denver International Airport has car rental for your driving needs. Take your rental car and drive out to a Denver Broncos football game.

Ever since Benny Hooper strolled into town in the 1920s and opened up his club/recreation center/hotel for black servicemen, the streets of Five Points has been a mecca for jazz. Hooper's club underwent renovation a few years ago and reopened as the Casino Cabaret. It hosts some of the best jazz musicians in the country. The entire neighborhood is experiencing an urban renaissance as small businesses open up in the historic district and boost the economy. One of Denver's festivals is Juneteenth, the 19th of June. Although the streets are always filled with people tourists and locals, alike, at all hours of the night, the neighborhood of Capitol Hill is safe and friendly. Young hipsters walk along the same sidewalks that Neal Cassidy and Jack Kerouac treaded, searching for an evening's entertainment in one of the diverse array of clubs, coffeehouses, art houses, galleries and bars.
