From the highest sand dunes in North America at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve to
54 Rocky Mountain peaks that rise over 14,000 feet to red-rock formations that seem to rip from the earth to the rolling grasslands of the eastern plains, Colorado has one of the most unique and varied natural landscapes in the world — and it’s a playground for discovery year-round.
In spring and summer, you’ll find it impossible to resist the call of Colorado’s emerald-green national forests, fields of vibrant wildflowers and shores of crystalline lakes.
Colorado’s fall beauty begs to be explored, as well, when autumn-color pilgrims seek hillsides blanketed with aspens and rivers lined with cottonwoods in shimmering hues of gold and red.
In winter, there’s no more peaceful scene than snowflakes falling silently on the branches of evergreen trees as you pass by on crisp morning stroll.
From the heights of the purple mountains majesty of Rocky Mountain National Park to deep canyons carved by the Colorado River, it’s impossible to catalog all the locations in Colorado where you’ll meet Mother Nature face to face and find few words to describe her magnificence.
