MORE THAN 300 DAYS OF SUNSHINE PER YEAR
Denver is composed of an array of diverse neighborhoods, and most of the neighborhoods surrounding Denver Health itself are highly walkable and bike-able. Boasting an ideal climate with an average of more than 300 days of sunshine each year, it is a state of true seasons with crisp fall days, beautiful, snowy winters, warm springs, and sun-filled summers. It is not uncommon to have a large snowstorm followed abruptly by a day warm enough for shorts and flip-flops.
