I wonder if it is still a mile high with the recent rising sea levels?

Denver is the only city at "exactly" one mile high, 5,280'. But, there are several cities here in neighboring Arizona that are at/just above a mile high. I live in Prescott, which is one of them. We're actually right about 5,300', so about 20' higher than one mile. We still consider ourselves a mile high city.

I live in Pueblo, Colorado. About 100 miles south of Denver. Not as attractive or as exciting Denver, but much warmer and mild weather.

Certainly the highest big city in the USA. I'm told that the weather can change drastically and quickly. Sunbathing in your back yard in your bathing suit in the early afternoon and two feet of snow when you get up the next day.

The "Mile High" city is also the lowest elevation in the state. And yes altitude does affect blood alcohol.

interesting because Santa Fe is a higher elevation than Denver and it's the state capitol for New Mexico

Laudinum, beautiful scenery and last time I skied there (2019) I got “the sickness” (altitude)and hadn’t ever had it before . . . Thankfully had 2 waters in my pockets and it went away.

I just thought of why the name would be Mike high, at first I thought the skyscrapers then I thought about elevation and got the answer right.
