COLORADO: LAND OF ADVENTURE
A sprawling natural wonderland at the heart of America's west, Colorado stretches from the rugged peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the flat grasslands of the Great Plains and from the thickly settled suburbs of the Front Range Urban Corridor to the sparse desert of the Colorado Plateau. While the forbidding terrain of Colorado's mountains drew only the hardiest of pioneers before the 1850s, the discovery of vast mineral riches near Pike's Peak drove a land rush, and the state has never looked back. Still growing in population and influence more than a century and a half later, Colorado retains a maverick frontier spirit through innovations in technology, commerce, environmental science and contemporary American thought.
With an area of more than 100,000 square miles, Colorado's vast expanse is home to a striking variety of wildlife and natural scenery. At 14,440 feet, the summit of Mount Elbert is the highest point in both the state Colorado and the entire Rocky Mountain range. Home to four national parks, Colorado offers unrivaled opportunities for hiking and outdoor recreation, scenic drives, art and cultural exhibits, retail shopping, amusement and leisure.
Climate
Seasonal temperatures in Colorado vary widely by region. Generally speaking, the Eastern Plains are quite sunny and dry, with temperatures frequently exceeding 100°F in the summer months. The Front Range Urban Corridor, Home to most of Colorado's residents, experiences relatively mild winters, with daytime highs in the forties, though temperatures can plummet to single digits at night. Summers in the region are hot, with daytime highs near 90°F in July, though the dry air moderates the heat somewhat. Residents and visitors alike should be prepared for abrupt temperature changes, as conditions can vary greatly within the course of a day.
