Contributor armando_martinez created this beautiful drone video of Denver, Colorado on a typically bright and sunny morning.  Nicknamed the Mile High City because of its altitude, Denver now has a metropolitan population of around 3 million, making it (by a considerable margin) the largest city in the entire Rocky Mountain region.  It is situated near the base of the range in northeastern Colorado, where the Great Plains transition to the alpine environment of America's largest mountain range.  

Take in these excellent aerial views of downtown Denver, Colorado, compliments of brand-new AirVuz contributor and pilot trdmrk_drone.  In the opening shot, you'll fly north on Sherman Street towards the Colorado State Capitol, which lies on the southeastern outskirts of downtown.  Starting at about the 1:00 mark, you'll get a nice westward-facing view of the skyline including its three tallest buildings - left to right, Wells Fargo Plaza, Republic Plaza, and 1801 California Street, followed by a northward-facing shot of the same.

Armando_martinez brings us this phenomenal aerial tour of Denver, Colorado as the unofficial capital of the USA's Rocky Mountain Region was under community quarantine during the Covid-19 pandemic.  The video shows the city's empty streets, the empty streets of Coors Field (home of the Colorado Rockies Major League Baseball team), and wraps with a great shot of the Union Station complex.  Colorado was one of the USA's early Covid-19 "hotspots", although by late April social distancing measures had slowed the spread of the virus.

First person view pilot (FPV) nikofilmz used a cinewhoop style drone to create this remarkable video of a protest in downtown Denver, Colorado.  The peaceful event was one of hundreds which erupted across the USA following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers of Minneapolis, Minnesota on Memorial Day of 2020.  The gruesome death of the unarmed Black man was captured by a bystander on video, triggering worldwide outrage at a pattern of police brutality directed at African Americans and other minorities across the country.  

Empower Field at Mile High is the latest name for the home field of the Denver Broncos of the National Football League.  Located just southwest of downtown, the 76k seat stadium opened in 2001.  It's gone under several different names, most of which were variations on the name of the Broncos' first home field: Mile High Stadium, in reference to the city's elevation of over 5k ft. (around 1.6k meters) above sea level.  Check out the home of the 3x Super Bowl champions from above in this drone video by Blaze.  

Somewhat unusually amongst US states, Colorado's capital is also its largest city: Denver.  The epicenter of the state government is the Colorado State Capitol, which houses the state's General Assembly as well as the offices of Governor and Lieutenant Governor.  The distinctive white stone, gold-domed building is situated in the Capital Hill district, southeast of the downtown core.  Contributor Blaze created this excellent drone video of the historic building, which was constructed in 1894.  

Check out this drone video of Denver's Coors Field, compliments of contributor and pilot Blaze.  The stadium opened in 1995 as the home of Major League Baseball's Colorado Rockies, who played their first two seasons as an expansion team in the original (and now demolished) Mile High Stadium.  Located in the Lower Downtown (LoDo) section on the western side of downtown, the famously home run-friendly park seats about 47k fans for regular games.   Coors Field hosted the 1998 All-Star baseball game.  

Check out this drone video of the University of Denver, compliments of contributor Blaze.  DU is the oldest private university in the USA's Rocky Mountain region: it was founded in 1864, more than a decade before Colorado achieved statehood.  Located a few minutes south of downtown, the DU campus is home to some of Denver's most historic buildings.  The university had total enrollment of about 11.6k students as of 2019, split roughly evenly between its undergraduate and graduate/professional programs.    

Denver, Colorado became a major city in the late 1800's as a rail junction.  Where this all came together was Union Station, which became one of the most important rail facilities in the Western USA.  Beginning in the early 2000's, a series of redevelopment projects turned the station into a modern commuter transportation hub, transforming the look of the entire district, just northwest of the core downtown.  You can see the results of this massive urban renewal project in this drone video by Blaze.

Check out this drone video of the world's largest beer facory, compliments of contributor Blaze.  It's the main brewery of the Coors Brewing Company in Golden, Colorado, a western suburb or Denver.  Founded by a German immigrant named Adolph Coors in 1873, Coors was largely a regional brand until the 1970's, whereupon it embarked on a large expansion and became the USA's third-largest brewer.  In 2005, the company was acquired by Canada's Molson Brewing, which is now the #3 worldwide brewer.  

Contributor Blaze used a DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone to bring to life one of the cultural landmarks of the USA's Rocky Mountain region: the Denver Art Museum.  DAM (as it's known) is one of the largest art museums between Chicago and the West Coast.  It's located in the city's Civic Center neighborhood, between the Capitol Hill and Lodo Districts.   Now occupying a small campus, the museum has over 70,000 works, and is known in particular for its works of Native American art.  

Pepsi Center is the main indoor sporting venue in Denver, Colorado.  It's home to the Nuggets of the National Basketball League and the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League.  It's also the city's primary indoor concert arena.  It currently seats about 19.5k fans for basketball and about 10% fewer for hockey.  Located in the downtown area roughly between Coors Field and Mile High Stadium, the stadium opened in 1997.  You can see it from above in this drone video by Blaze.

The University of Colorado's flagship campus is in Boulder, an outer suburb Denver.  Founded in 1876, the school currently has about 33k students enrolled, of which about 80% are undergraduate.  The school's athletic teams play as the Colorado Buffalos, which competes in the PAC-10 league of the NCAA.  UC's beautiful campus south of the Pearl Street Mall has turned Boulder into one of the USA's most idyllic college towns.  Check out the UC-Boulder campus from above in this drone video by Blaze.  

Check out this drone video of Museum of Contemporary Art of Denver, Colorado by AirVuz contributor and pilot Blaze.  Known MCA Denver, the museum was founded in 1996 as the first museum venue in the Colorado city dedicated to modern art. Founded in 1996, the museum was originally located in Sakura Square in Lower Downtown before moving into its current purpose-built facility in the Lower Downtown (LoDo) area in 2007.  The museum has no permanent collection; rather, it features rotating exhibitions every 2-4 months.  

AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot TreeFPV brings us this highly cinematic FPV view of the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado.  Shot with just a single LIPO pack, the video will give you a unique perspective on the city's main outdoor arena as well as its grounds.  Built as part of a 90's upgrade of all of the city's sports facilities, Pepsi Center is the home of the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball League and the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League.  It seats 19.5k fans for basketball.

Check out this drone video of one of the top golf courses in the Rocky Mountains region, compliments of Blaze. Castle Pines Golf Club is located in Castle Rock, on the southern outskirts of Denver, Colorado.  The course opened in 1981 and was designed by Jack Nicklaus.  Since 1987, the course has been included in Golf Digest's widely-followed ranking of the top 100 US golf courses.  In the 2019 version of the survey, the course was ranked #48.  The par 72 course runs 7,701 yards.  

On this episode of Droning America, host Angie Avestruz heads to the Mile High City of Denver, Colorado, the gateway to the Rocky Mountains.  She's joined by local comedian Matt Need, to see some of the highlights of the city and the surrounding area from an aerial point of view.  The segment includes footage of the downtown area's most notable spots, including Union Station, the 16th Street Mall, Confluence Park, Red Rocks, Coors Field, Pepsi Center, and Sports Authority Field (formerly Mile High Stadium).
