Colorado is the home of the "mile high" city of Denver, named so because it is precisely one mile above sea level. Not surprising since the entire state is above 1,000 meters. Colorado has a varied landscape of high plains, forests, mountains, mesas, plateaus, rivers, canyons, and desert, and it is a favorite destination for outdoor lovers and ski fanatics.

A drive into the mountains will bring you to majestic mountains and old mining towns like Black Hawk that have been converted into gambling casinos and hotels. The Red Rocks amphitheatre is not only one of the best outdoor entertainment venues in the country, but the brick red rock structure's beauty adds something special to any entertainment experience. Visitors will also find the notable peaks of the Rocky Mountains include Longs Peak, Mount Evans,and Pikes Peak.

There are 13 national parks in Colorado including the Rocky Mountain National park and 42 state parks that attract more than 11 million people every year.
