Visit The Mile High City and you'll find the locals are an eclectic crew. With a healthy balance of work and play, Denverites seek both urban creativity and mountain escapes -and they take full advantage of the accessibility of both.

But it's not just what they do, it's how they do it. Something they call the Rocky Mountain Way. It's about sharing the best parts of Denver with visitors: Diverse and innovative cuisine.

The critically acclaimed Denver Art Museum and the new Museum of Contemporary Art | Denver. Red Rocks, a world-famous outdoor music venue. Upscale shopping in downtown and Cherry Creek. And 300 days of sunshine to enjoy it all. This is Denver. And the locals will be happy to tell you about it.

Dinosaurs, Ute Indians, 2 friars (Dominguez & Escalante), the McCarty Gang, a bunch of Little Britches, an English Baron, Olympic athletes and just a few characters have left their mark in Delta Country.
