I can't imagine why anyone would ever choose to leave Denver because it's such a fantastic place to live, and especially given our current situation, I'm more proud to call Colorado home than ever. The Mile High City truly has it all - great people, good eats, stellar views, and tons of cultural activities and attractions to keep us busy. But if the traffic and housing prices get to you, and you simply must relocate, here are 15 things people miss about Denver that you won't find anywhere else.

1. Mile High Skyline

There's just something about our beloved skyline that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and I adore it from every angle.

2. Rainbows

Is there anything better than the skyline AND a rainbow?!?!

3. Mountains

Whether you venture into the mountains or simply enjoy them from afar, the distant peaks are a constant source of comfort and beauty.

4. Fall

The quaking aspens take on a spiritual quality when autumn arrives.

5. Winter

"Perhaps all the snow in the world will fall, burying everything, such silence, and then I will come out of it in the spring, different, cleaner, not born again so much as built up." -Rick Bass

6. Spring

Who wouldn't miss our wacky Denver springtime?

7. Summer Nights at Coors Field

8. Sunrises at Red Rocks

Not to mention all of the riotous hootenannies hosted throughout the summer.

9. Breakfast Burritos

Especially Jack-n-Grill's massive 7-lb. breakfast burrito that could feed an army.

10. Authentic Mexican Cuisine

Period.

11. Margaritas

The anti-sour-mix movement is in full effect in Denver, and we've got some of the best house-made margs known to man.

12. Beer and Beards

Both abound in the Mile High City, and it wouldn't be the same without them.

13. Denver Botanic Gardens

...and their unforgettable special events like the Blossoms of Light.

14. Parks

Our picturesque parks are unmatched!

15. We Believe!

Denver boasts a progressive forward-thinking population, and we believe wholeheartedly in our city, our state, and our nation.
