Denver isn’t a mountain city.

Longseason

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.

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

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

fattycoug

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.

mudpupper

Mountain adjacent

Longseason

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

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

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

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

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

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.
