The JW Marriott Denver hotel is close to some of the top Denver tourist attractions, but we're also just a drive away from one of the most exhilarating playgrounds in the Western states: the Rocky Mountains. If you are coming to Denver, you simply can't miss out on partaking in the amazing Colorado recreation that gives our state its reputation as one of the most active in the US.

The Rocky Mountains, often called the Rockies, are a major mountain range in western North America. The Rocky Mountains stretch more than 3,000 miles from the northernmost part of British Columbia to New Mexico. The range's highest peak is Mount Elbert in Colorado at 14,440 feet above sea level.
