If there is one thing that every tourist agrees upon is that Colorado has almost unbelievable stunning natural landscapes. From the highest sand dunes in North America to 54 mountain peaks over 14,000 feet, you will find one of the most unique and varied natural landscapes in the entire nation. As you travel through the state, you'll see emerald green forests, fields of vibrant wildflowers as far as the eye can see, picturesque mountain lakes, abundant grasslands and rich red rock formations. Without looking too far, you'll find many places to enjoy Colorado's vast natural beauty. There are four national parks, five national monuments and 41 state parks waiting to be explored. If you're looking for a beautiful drive, Colorado is also home to 25 scenic and historic byways, noted for their distinct qualities. They include ghost towns, ancient ruins, alpine tundra, some of the oldest trains in the West and much more. Wherever you go in Colorado, have your camera ready for pictures of the postcard-perfect beauty.
From local artisans to internationally recognized collections, dinner theaters to outstanding venues, Colorado offers one of the most unique and complete arts and cultural experiences. If you're looking for art, towns like Steamboat Spring are home to many outstanding artists and craftsmen where you can watch them create their works. The Denver Art Museum has one of the nation's finest collections of American Indian Art. Just a few miles outside of Denver, and from its renowned symphony and opera, you'll find the legendary Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, where you can see some of the biggest names in music in an open-air, natural rock formation acoustical setting. Farther west, Grand Junction offers topnotch talent and entertainment in a small town setting, with many live theaters including the Cabaret Dinner Theater and Metro Playhouse, attracting Broadway actors for their productions.
Denver is one of the major cities in the state and also happens to sit at exactly one mile high (hence its nickname, 'Mile High City'). Although it's not the coolest city in the area, Denver is a good place to get your bearings and recover from your trip before exploring the region. Set against a brilliant Rocky Mountain backdrop, Denver effortlessly blends Old West with cosmopolitan hip.
There is no limit of things to see and do in Colorado. People have been flocking to the Centennial State for decades to participate in a unique Colorado ritual: ski-bumming (living in a mountain ski resort, working in the service industry and riding as much fresh snow as possible).
Besides that there is a vast array of attractions that includes everything from sporting events to spas, historical sites to casinos - and everything in between. Take your family to an amusement park or live like an actual cowboy on a working dude ranch. Explore the land where dinosaurs once roamed or ghost towns where gold miners once called home. Whether it's a trip to a farmer's market or a dip in the soothing waters of our many natural hot springs, a scenic train ride or an afternoon at the zoo, if you can dream it, you can find it in Colorado.
