Denver, CO
If you started flying east from Denver, where could you end up?
DENVER (KDVR) — If you started flying east or west in a perfectly straight line from Denver International Airport, what cities or countries would you expect to encounter?
The latitude — how far north something is relative to the equator — of the Denver metro area sits between the 39th and 40th parallels. The 39th parallel is located north of Colorado Springs and the 40th parallel goes through the middle of Boulder.
These lines circle the globe and have even been used in the past to decide borders, including both the southern and northern borders of Colorado, which are at the 37th and 41st parallels respectively.
They can also be used to see where exactly a place is located relative to the rest of the world.
What are some of the cities and countries you would encounter?
- United States:
- Indianapolis
- Columbus, Ohio
- Philadelphia
- Reno, Nevada
- Europe:
- Portugal
- Madrid, Spain
- Italy
- Albania
- Greece
- Asia:
- Turkey
- Armenia
- Iran
- Beijing, China
- North Korea
- Japan
There are several other countries not included on the list that are in the same approximate latitude as Denver: Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
The two major international cities that would be passed through are Madrid, Spain, which is around the 40th parallel, and Beijing, China, which is just about on the same latitude as the Mile High City.
Some cities are just a bit too far north or south. This includes the Italian city of Naples, which would be located north of Fort Collins, and Athens, Greece, which would be south of Pueblo.
Lisbon, Portugal is also located around the same latitude as Colorado Springs.

Denver Nuggets Altitude broadcasts now being offered in Spanish for first time ever
For the first time in the team’s history, Altitude Sports is broadcasting Denver Nuggets home games in Spanish. Kroenke Sports and Entertainment announced it has contracted a team to broadcast its games in Spanish for the playoffs.
“I think that is what the public wanted,” said Ivan De La Garza, producer for the broadcast team.
A team of three people, two commentators and a producer, sit in a press box at the top of Ball Arena. Their commentary is then synced with the traditional Altitude broadcast video and shared on the Altitude Plus application.
“With the Nuggets winning in the last five years, there is a tremendous amount of following from Latino people trying to listen to and watch the games in Spanish,” said Andres Casas, color commentator for the broadcast.
Casas said he strives to bring the same energy fans get during soccer broadcasts into the basketball broadcasts.
“That excitement that gets you. We want people to feel they are at the game,” Casas said.
“It has been so amazing to be a part of the Spanish broadcast for the Nuggets. I have been a fan of the Nuggets for my whole life,” said Jena Garcia, play-by-play commentator.
Garcia said it has been a dream come true to help bring this broadcast to her community.
“I’ve always desired to hear a Spanish broadcast, just as a fan. To be a part of it is just incredible,” Garcia said.
Those working in the broadcast said they are honored to help expand the reach of the Nuggets and sports in accessing diverse communities.
“We love sports. We are passionate, we are loud. We like to get together and enjoy sports,” De La Garza said.
“The Nuggets have a huge following, especially on the Spanish side. So, it is great for them to be able to listen to what is going on, game by game, especially into the playoffs,” Casas said.
“It is just another step of access that they are getting to be a fan of basketball,” Garcia said.
