Private Jet Charters to Denver

 Denver Overview

Denver is a vibrant city located near the heart of the idyllic Rocky Mountains. This is what put Denver on the map in the mid-19th century when prospectors discovered gold in Cherry Creek near the mountains. We now know this to be the beginning of America’s famous “Gold Rush”. This influx saw Denver grow from a few hundred people to thousands in under a year.

General William H. Larimer is credited with naming the city after James W. Denver, the governor of Kansas Territory at the time once it was incorporated as a city in 1861.

Outdoor enthusiasts flock to Denver to enjoy the open green spaces and winter sports during the colder months. Denver has been nicknamed the Mile High City because of its elevation which is 5,280 feet (1,609 metres) above sea level at the State Capitol.
