Denver is America’s Mile-High
City. This capitol of Colorado
and most populated city in the
state is nestled between the
Rocky Mountains to the West and
flat plains to the East.
Although Denver is not always
thought of as having a
predominant Gay and Lesbian
population, the LGBT community
is actually quite large and
thriving. Another common
misconception about Denver is
that it is unbearably frigid and
covered in deep snow. It is
actually known as a semi-arid
climate. With little to no
humidity, the diverse
temperatures feel less extreme.
With an average of 300 sunny
days a year, this city can even
rival the Sunshine State. The
annual precipitation is only an
average of 15.8 inches (Fort
Lauderdale gets 90+
annually) and the sun quickly
melts any snow that falls in the
winter. This is an ideal climate
for those wanting to experience
all four seasons.
If sports get you amped up,
Denver is ready to deliver.
Within the city, there are many
stadiums that host professional
teams such as the Denver Broncos
(football), Colorado Rockies
(baseball), Colorado Avalanche
(ice hockey), Denver Nuggets
(basketball), and many other
sports teams as well. Denver is
right next to the Rocky
Mountains, so if the great
outdoors are your passion, there
are many activities within a
short driving distance of this
metropolitan city. There is
hiking, camping, rafting, and
biking in the summer. In the
winter there is skiing,
snowboarding, and snow tubing.
Another way to get “outdoorsy”
without leaving the city is to
visit Cheesman Park. This park
is a popular gathering spot for
the Gay and lesbian community
and offers open green space to
sunbathe, jog, picnic, and even
play a pick-up game of Frisbee
or football. It is unofficially
a dog park as well because many
people even bring their furry
little companions for a game of
fetch. In the winter, Cheesman
Park is perfect for cross
country skiing.
Capitol Hill, an artistic
bohemian area in the heart of
Denver, is home to a happening
LGBT community. It is known as
the “Gay village”. Within this
area, there are restaurants,
bars, clubs, concert venues, and
cute little shops. Even
businesses that are not deemed
“Gay” are still very
“Gay-friendly” in this area.
Capitol Hill is home to the
annual
Gay and Lesbian PrideFest. In fact, the
pride parade travels right
through this area. People from
all over the state (and even the
surrounding states) migrate to
Denver for the two days of Pride
festivities.
Denver is home to many
attractions. If roller coasters
and thrills are your thing, be
sure to check out Elitch
Gardens. This theme park is
located right in the heart of
the busy downtown area. For
something a little milder, the
Denver Aquarium and Denver Zoo
offer the excitement of seeing
nature’s most lovable,
interesting, and fierce
creatures from all over the
world. Some great venues to see
independent films, shows, and
even feature films include the
Mayan Theatre,
Esquire Theatre,
Chez Artiste,
Olde Town, and Greenwood
Village. If you’re desiring
something high
class, Denver offers a plethora
of art galleries, museums,
musicals, plays, and operas.
The Denver people are generally
open-minded. Many of the people
are concerned with being green
to protect and preserve the
Earth. Colorado is one of many
select states to allow the use
of medical marijuana. The lax
feel in the city make it seem
like the “Amsterdam of America”.
With less concern about glitz
and glam, the realness of the
population is refreshing. Denver
is the perfect getaway from the
hustle and bustle of most other
cities.
