Those of you who wish people would stop moving to the Mile High City may have reason to dislike the Instagram page of Visit Denver.

But we love the spectacular images of our hometown that pop up regularly on the site — which explains why we've created multiple galleries highlighting the pics, most recently in July.

The latest batch, shared over the past few weeks, catch Denver as the city transitions into the holiday season.

And as usual, they're absolutely gorgeous.

Check out a sampling below, and to see more great pics, click over to the Visit Denver Instagram page.

The 16th St.Mall is one of our favorite places for a stroll during the holiday season! ? #twinklinglights #milehighholidays
