COLORADO KEY MAGAZINE Denver is just 340 miles from the exact center of the Continental United States and is exactly one mile above sea level. Denver came into being during the gold rush of 1859 and became a trade center, providing goods and services to the miners. One hour West of Denver you can drive to 14,240 feet above sea level on the highest auto road in North America. The Scenic Pikes Peak Area is the second major population and commerce hub in Colorado, encompassing the lovely city of Colorado Springs, with many natural wonders as well as being a sophisticated, cultural, high tech city. The beautiful Western Slope, from Four Corners and Mesa Verde National Park in the South to the Dinosaur National Monument in the North and the new Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in between, is an area of more beauty than can be described in this space. There are glittering Ski towns with all the trimmings to Ghost towns so remote as to only be reached by 4 wheel vehicles. Colorado is such a special and beautiful place, from its bustling modern cities to the open plains, to the highest peaks, with something of interest to everyone.
