As shown in the diagram to the right, the city of Denver is located in the South Platte River
Valley. Near Denver, the South Platte River flows roughly from south-southwest to north-
northeast. Boulder Creek, approximately 30 miles north of Denver, flows out of the mountains
and through Boulder roughly from west to east. To the west of both cities are the foothills of the
Rocky Mountains. How does the topography affect the wind direction in both locations?
