compare that to Nashville, Tn: (Lat/Lon: 36.17°N 86.78°W)

Nashville has a moderate climate with hot summers and cold winters. An ample annual rainfall keeps things green and clean, but there are enough sunny days in between to keep everyone happy. Summers can be very humid, which pushes up the discomfort index even if temperatures do not hit major highs.

in 1858, gold was discovered in a creek near present-day Denver and the rush was on! By early spring of 1869, thousands of fortune hunters flooded across the plains. Most went home empty handed, but the hardy ones pushed on into the Rocky Mountains and some of them established fortunes. Over the next half century, millions upon millions of dollars worth of gold and silver were taken from mines in legendary places such as Central City, Cripple Creek, Georgetown, Leadville, Creed, and Telluride.

colorado is the ROCKY MOUNTAINS--they run through the state, not only forming the Continental Divide but creating some of the most remarkable scenery in the world.
