WHEAT RIDGE
COLORADO

Carnation City

Less than 15 minutes from downtown Denver and within easy distance of the Rocky Mountains, Wheat Ridge provides equal opportunities to reach large city attractions and the endless skiing, hiking, and other recreational opportunities of the mountains. Formerly the largest producer of carnations in the world, Wheat Ridge earned the nickname of “Carnation City.” The city’s Carnation Festival is still one of the state’s longest running festivals.
