Colorado Travel Guide

Edit Section - Colorado Travel Guide - Hotels & Restaurants

Colorado is most famous for the snow-capped Rocky Mountains that dominate the western part of the state -- hence its reputation for rugged, outdoors-y inhabitants whose favorite pasttimes include snowboarding, mountain biking, and drinking heady microbrews. Though the eastern half is pretty flat and barren, akin to its eastern neighbor, Kansas, Colorado upholds its reputation as an adventure-lover's haven with an overwhelming amount of natural beauty and government-preserved land in other parts of the state. Its many parks include Rocky Mountain National Park (the biggie, with many peaks over 13,000 feet), Mesa Verde National Park (a fascinating archaeological exploration of indigenous communities in the area between A.D. 600 and A.D. 1300), and Great Sand Dunes National Monument (30 square miles of North America's tallest dunes).
