DENVER, CO – The iconic “mile high” marker at the Colorado State Capitol is slated for its fourth relocation, a recurring event that one observer described as “history repeating itself.” The exact location and timeline for this latest move were not immediately available.

This marker, signifying the point precisely one mile above sea level, has a history of shifting positions within the Capitol grounds.
