Denver isn’t a mountain city.

Longseason

5:25pm

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

Blueto

Slc has higher violent and property crime than Denver.

SLC is a mess.

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

What does that mean?

It means it's not in the mountains.

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

5:34pm

More of a coastal city

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

Yep it’s on the High Plains

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

fattycoug

6:37pm

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

kimdaddy35

6:39pm

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

fattycoug

6:42pm

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

5:38pm

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

Mountain adjacent

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

joelvandyne

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

Colorado

5:39pm

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

RE: Denver isn’t a mountain city.

But it is a county all by itself.

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

RE: Denver isn’t a mountain city.

RdF3

Now do one looking the other direction

Longseason

6:37pm

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

JamieTartt

6:40pm

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

Longseason

6:55pm

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

thewaterboy

6:46pm

Correct. It is the end of the Great Plains.

Longseason

6:56pm

I disagree with that

thewaterboy

6:59pm

Or the beginning of the Rocky Mountains.
