Getting There

Colorado is the 8th largest state in the nation. Yet the majority of its population is centered around Denver, CO and Interstate I-25 corridor.

Denver is a major international airport hub. It makes the Mile High City a great starting point for exploring the state and the region.

But the city’s nickname gives away an important consideration when visiting Colorado.

Many of its sights are in mountainous areas at high altitudes. It is best to give yourself plenty of time to acclimate.

Places to Visit

Colorado is rich in natural wonders. There are 4 national parks, 5 national monuments, and multiple state parks, forests, and recreational areas in the state.

Rocky Mountain National Park rightfully claims the top spot on the list of the most visited Coloradan sites.

But the state’s Black Canyon, Great Sand Dunes, and Mesa Verde National Parks have their own unique appeal.

The highest paved road in North America is also in the state. Mount Evans Scenic Byway offers a scenic drive experience that is not for the faint of heart.
