Eastern Colorado, which includes the major cities of Denver, Aurora, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Fort Collins, supports the largest portion of the state's population. The city is a vibrant community of progressive-minded people who continually shape Denver for the future. It is an intersection for two major interstate highway systems, and is easily accessible through Denver International Airport. The College of Law's Park Hill campus is located north of the main University of Denver campus, and just fifteen minutes from downtown Denver. The city's temperate climate brings over 300 days of sunshine per year, an ideal environment for its active citizens.
Summers are warm with low humidity, and winters are remarkably mild.
Denver offers a vast menu of activities to suit any taste. Cultural enthusiasts can attend theater, symphony, dance and opera at the Denver Center for Performing Arts, the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, and the Central City Opera House. The Denver Zoo, Museum of Natural History, and Gates Planetarium are just a few minutes from the College of Law Campus. In Downtown, you'll find the world-class Denver Public Library and the Denver Art Museum, and right across the street is the Colorado History Museum, which offers a glimpse into the region's recent past when Cheyenne and Arapahoe Native Americans once hunted along the banks of Cherry Creek. You can find great fun at the Elitch Gardens amusement park or Colorado Ocean Journey, in the nearby Platte River Valley.
