Denver isn’t a mountain city.

Denver has all the crime and traffic of big city with none of the accompanying

Slc has higher violent and property crime than Denver.

I live in CO Springs. Hate Denver with a passion. So ugly, soulless, crowded.

It means it's not in the mountains.

It’s a plains city. But you can see the mountains from it.

More of a coastal city

True. It’s only 700 ft higher elevated than Provo.

That’s it? I thought it was much higher.

Lately, it is a lot higher than that. Crazy.

Neither is Salt Lake City, nor Provo.

A good portion of the Wasatch Front residences are absolutely on the mountains

So are a good amount of the Denver Metro area residences.

Actual Salt lake and actual Provo both have good portions of residences

I've been and lived in both and have never seen a Salt Lake City address nor a Provo address in the mountains.

Walk me through this. Denver is a mile high. How can that not be a "mountain city"?

If you look at Denver from west to East. Not a mountain in sight.
Longseason

Denver is next to mountains on the west, zero on the east.

Mountain adjacent

Not even really next to them. Like an hour away from actual mountains

It’s like 20 minutes from Denver even to any foothills. That’s SLC to Draper.

Take the time to drive through what's probably usually a "flyover state" to you

Depends on what you consider "Denver". The metro area includes mountains
Colorado

And there’s about half a dozen 14er’s within a 1.5 hour drive from Denver.

Salt Lake is what everyone thinks Denver is. Denver is a Great Plains city a long drive from good mountains.

You are confusing decent mountains with ski resorts. Mt Evans is 30 mins from Denver and higher than any mountain
kimdaddy35

It’s 85 mins if by some miracle no traffic, and by far the closest high country

Are you mapping to the top?

Going off of driving there basically. I guess you could say an hour to the echo

Now do one looking the other direction

That direction allows Denver to not get the inversions SLC gets.

Although true, it doesn’t help the perspective that Denver is in the mountains

That’s a very deceptive shot using extreme zoom to make it look much better than

Maybe so but the skyline from a little further away can be absolutely stunning. Like Boulder is pretty but coming down

So having a very large mountain range on one side of the city doesn't qualify as

Correct. It is the end of the Great Plains.
Longseason

I disagree with that

Or the beginning of the Rocky Mountains.

…20 minutes from any foothills that are another 45 to any high country…

The very large mountain range is the equivalent of SLC to Provo away from Denver
