Answer: If you guessed 96, you’re spot on! Climbing all 96 steps will take you right to the famous Mile High Marker, which designates exactly 5,280 feet above sea level. The marker has actually been moved a couple of times due to more precise measurements, but the view from the top? Still unbeatable.
