Denver

With 300 days of sunshine every year, award-winning restaurants, world-class museums, sizzling live entertainment, and stunning Rocky Mountain views, Colorado's capital blends urban cool with the great outdoors. With snowcapped peaks providing a spectacular backdrop year-round, this former mining town enjoys a semi-arid - high-desert - climate with four distinct seasons.

Many federal agencies are based in or have offices in the Denver area. In fact, metropolitan Denver has more federal workers than any other metropolitan area except for Washington, D.C. With such a strong federal presence come numerous defense and space contractors, and nuclear power companies. The former nuclear weapons plant Rocky Flats, the Denver Federal Center, the Denver Mint, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory are all located in the metro area.

Denver is home to nationally recognized museums and the second largest performing arts center in the nation. The city bustles with art galleries, restaurants, bars, and clubs. Along with Chicago and New York, Denver is among the only three cities with a team representing all eight of the major sports leagues in the United States.
