 | | Denver Colorado |  | | Welcome to Denver Region Colorado! Denver, Colorado, the city and the region named after it, strives to become a booming metropolis, and the results of those efforts are easily seen. Even by American standards, Denver is a young city; the gold strike that launched the city occurred just 140 years ago. However, in addition to great museums in the region, there is a flourishing arts scene, and a deep commitment to preserving historic buildings and districts. |
|  | | | The Pike and San Isabel National Forests and The Comanche National Grassland are within easy reach of the Denver region and offers nearly 3 million acres of public lands from the short grass prairies to the alpine tundra. This area offers a wide variety of recreation for all visitors.In addition, visitors can enjoy the Colorado History Museum, or Barr Lake State Park, known as an exceptional wildlife habitat. Bird watchers can spot over 300 species of birds at the park, which is home to the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory and an important Colorado wildlife refuge. |
