But that news is both good and bad, for while abundant mountain wfall has produced 40 major ski areas, it also means an inadequate natural water supply , for Deliver and the eastern agricultural Community. As a result, eastern Colorado is completely dependent on a monumental waterworks system of darns, tunnels and canals that trap the water in a reservoir on the western slope and move it under the Continental Divide thus driving water bills to among the highest in the country. In downtown Denver you ean tour the state capitol and the U.S. Mint; square dance in the civic center; stroll through the Denver Botanical Gardens and Conservatory, the Colorado Historical Museum: the Museum of for Natural History and the Art Museum; ride a mini-bu- s a dime; visit the zoo.

A recent survey by the Chamber of Commerce showed the city slightly above average in housing. transportation, and health facilities :. slightly below average in food costs; high for electricity and water. A combination of state. county, and city levies means that Denver residents pay the equivalent of 612 percent in sales taxes. The bus system has been greatly improved since 1070. Passengers are sped from suburb to office on new white, blue, and green express buses or whisked around There are special rates for the downtown in mini-buseelderly and students.

Denver is the child nestled. in the valley ni.ousnof w here the loradelaP against the broad belt of the RockyPAltdolna,ntains. From gold dome of tlie,,s4c, capitol, above a iron staircase, n deceptive. At first glance, it looks like any other provincial American city. Much of the West has a comparable climate. There are other mountain ranges, and the same kind of quiet, friendly people. In fact, dozens of companies use Dover to market test new products because they regard the city as a mirror of U.S. tastes. But Denver is an eminently livable city, set apart from others here in the heart of die West beca-nsit draws its vitality from its own enigmas. Denver is: LL. A sophisticated business center; and yet a cow town, where buffalo steaks are as common as bouillabaisse and the sight of a pinstripe suit and cowboy boots on U.S. Sen. Gary Hart is as familiar as Cabel boots on a skier. e A city of i sunshine and blue sky; and yet the halo of pollution it wears mostly from automobiles -- is aggravated and emphasized by the fraili atmosphere. Cultural center of the Rocky Mountain region. Enthusiastic sports town (although the Denver Broncos. a National Football League team, have a dismal record, season tickets for next fall were sold out last winter); yet the city joined statewide votors in vetoing the 1976 Olympics by a decisive margin. Home of more automobiles per capita than any other major metropolitan city, surrounded by an elaborate freeway system, hounded by inordinately high taxes : however, voters levied a percent sales tax last $152- - million regional transit year to fund a system similar to the computerized BART system in San Francisco. Denver is difficult to get to; the cost of living is high; the bus system until recently was a local joke; the city is shackled with pollution and unemployment. And yet the first thing people tell you is they want new residents to stay away. "The last time I was in the East," says Pulcipher. "people said things like, 'Gee, you must get a lot of snow out there.' I :.;aid, 'Yes.' They said, 'At that altitude it must get awfully cold.' I just smiled. I used to think I had to explain Denver. But if they find out what it's really like here, they might move. Then we really would be in trouble.",: Gold gave Denver its start. Today it is a rail and a government center, a financial and commercial capital, and a tourist mecca of an expanding eight-stat- e Rocky Mountain empire. Metropolitan Denver laps over seven counties, 4,600 82 percent of the square miles and 1,500,900 people and growing at a rate of one entire state population person every 13 minutes. Three hundred of Fortune Magazine's top 500 businesses have offices, agencies. or representatives here. When it comes to federal employes, the city ranks second only to Washington, D.C. Denver is the world's largest producer of sugar from sugar beets. Denver's climate is high and arid. The sun shines an average of 300 days each year. The city features as green in meticulously manicured bluegrass lawns shirt-sleev- e -well as as as in golf and May September tennis nearly 10 months of the year.
