About Colorado

COLORADO IS THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS

The magnificent Rocky Mountain Range not only forms the Continental Divide, it has some of the most remarkable scenery found anywhere in the world. Colorado is much, much more than mountains! Our state is the home to ancient, elaborate Anasazi cliff dwellings, high plains where the American cowboy came of age, all-season resorts that appeal to down-home and jet-set visitors, and glittering cities where luxurious lodging, superb cuisine and world-class entertainment are a way of life.

COLORADO IS THE CENTENNIAL STATE

Our growth is immortalized by James Michener. History lives here–in plains towns that once hosted wagon trains, in revitalized historic districts, in farms and guest ranches, in working narrow gauge trains, and in mine tours.

COLORADO IS MILLIONS OF ACRES OF THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Recreational possibilities in our state are so varied and numerous that they attract visitors from all over the world. Colorado is an inspiring, stunning, beautiful getaway for those who prefer leisure, convenience and luxury, as well as more adventurous pursuits.
