Wheat Ridge gets more sunny days than the average city in the US, with 247 sunny days the whole year. The temperature can range from 18 – 90 degrees, therefore it doesn’t need to brave too much snow, nor excessively hot summers.

History
The city is known to be discovered by miners, but has been popular with the agricultural crowd too. Being in the middle of regional travel routes, Wheat Ridge was a popular stop-over to travelers journeying from the valley to the mountains and back.
