lively cities, historical towns, and wildlife sanctuaries, it’s no wonder Colorado always makes the list of America’s most beautiful states. After all, not many places in the world can compete with the scenic natural beauty and the diversity of Colorado. From the heights of the splendid Rocky Mountains to the deep canyons engraved by the Colorado River, lies a world of its own that begs to be explored. In 1893, on a summer break from her professorship at Wellesley College in Massachusetts, Katharine Lee Bates picked up her pen and traveled west to Colorado Springs. From atop purple Pikes Peak, a Front Range mountain six miles west of town, the writer looked east to the rolling plains. Thrilled by the panorama, Bates returned to her hotel room in Colorado Springs and wrote the legendary song, “America the Beautiful.”
