Colorado in a Trice

Our 8th largest state comprises over 100,000 sq miles of varying landscape, between the treeless plains of the east, the deserts to the southwest, and the mighty Rockies snaking through the middle. Visitors from all over the world come here to ski, to escape their everyday world in the Rockies, and to visit some of the highest places in America.

Pros and Cons

Pros:A bit of everything
Cons:So big that travel by car takes forever and a day
In a nutshell:The plains, the mountains, the snow, and the desert
