About Denver

Denver is affectionately known as the “Mile High City”, sitting one mile (1.6 kilometers) above sea level. Denver is the capital city of the state of Colorado located just 340 miles (547 kilometers) from the exact center of the continental United States. At the end of September, Denver will be in the fall season with daytime temperatures averaging 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Celsius) and nighttime temperatures averaging 50 degrees Fahrenheit (or 10 degrees Celsius).

Denver has a population of more than 700,000 while there are nearly 3 million people in the metro area. Located at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Denver has 300 days of sunshine, a thriving cultural scene, diverse neighborhoods and natural beauty that combine for a spectacular setting for SER2025.
