Question: Which step of Colorado’s Capitol is exactly one mile above sea level?

Answer: The 13th step of the capitol building sits at an elevation of 5,280 feet, or one mile, based on a 2003 survey. The words “One Mile Above Sea Level” are still engraved on the 15th step, which was thought to be the one-mile-high marker for much of the twentieth century.
