The Denver Metro area is comprised of 7 counties: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson. The Mile High City is located on high rolling plains, 12 miles east of the "foothills," a series of gentle mountains that climb to 11,000 feet. You don’t have to travel far to experience a variety of camping, fishing, and hiking options. One of the town’s best features is its proximity to major attractions, including over two hundred parks in Denver County alone. The town is headquarters for numerous Colorado-made products, including Hammond’s Candies and Never Summer snowboards.
