Actually, Denver isn't on a mountain. It's on the flats and pushed up
against the Rockies, which accounts for the pollution. The pollution
has nowhere to go. When I used to drive down to Denver from 8,500',
once I rounded the bend at Windy Hill and got my first glimpse of
Denver, a brown smudge covered the city from one end to the other.
Always kind of mentally held my breath the whole time I was in town.
