What makes Cranmer Park unlike any other overlook in Denver is the sandstone terrazzo terrace built by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s: embedded in the floor of the viewing platform is an etched mosaic panorama tracing the exact outline of the mountain range visible from this spot, with individual peaks labelled: Pikes Peak, Longs Peak, and dozens of others . So you can stand on the terrace, look west, and identify precisely what you're seeing. Tip: The park is genuinely quiet on weekdays. Pic: Denverite
