Just head east of the Rocky Mountains and Rocky Mountain National Park and you will be here! You can also ride an Amtrak to go Sightseeing Denver.

It all began in 1858 as a mining town. The Pikes Peak Gold Rush was in full force back in those days. The Wall Street of the West, along 17th street is where you will find the corporate buildings, and the financial center. While sightseeing Denver, check out Rocky Flats, a former nuclear weapons plant.

Some great museums are waiting to be explored such as the Denver Art Museum. The house that Clyfford Still, an abstract expressionist painter lived in may become a museum to show off his work.

Quizno's, Noodles & Company, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Qdoba Mexican Grill all started here.
