| Standard Time Zone: Mountain Standard Time (MST) = UTC-7 Daylight Saving Time Zone: Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) = UTC-6 Denver, officially the City and County of Denver, is the capital and most populous municipality of the U.S. state of Colorado. Denver is located in the South Platte River Valley on the western edge of the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The Denver downtown district is located immediately east of the confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River, approximately 12 mi (19 km) east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Denver is nicknamed the Mile-High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile (5,280 ft or 1,610 m) above sea level, making it one of the highest major cities in the United States. The 105th meridian west of Greenwich, the longitudinal reference for the Mountain Time Zone, passes directly through Denver Union Station.Denver's west-central geographic location in the Mountain Time Zone (UTC−7) also benefits the telecommunications industry by allowing communication with both North American coasts, South America, Europe, and Asia in the same business day. |

Denver clocks, offsets and daylight saving
Denver keeps MDT (6 hours behind UTC, UTC-06:00). Its database zone is America/Denver — worth knowing if you are scheduling anything that has to survive a daylight saving change.
One date to watch: Sunday, 01 November 2026. That is when Denver goes back 1 hour onto MST — recurring meetings set before then will land an hour out unless the calendar handles zones properly.
Bear in mind United States spans 10 zones across the 419 cities we cover — checking a second city in the same country is often necessary.
