Colorado

Colorado posts here lean toward the Rocky Mountain side of the state more than the eastern plains. Articles cover the I-70 corridor west of Denver, the ski towns from Vail to Telluride, fourteeners that beginners can climb in a day, and the slow drive over Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. There are also notes on the Colorado Plateau in the south-west, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and what the altitude really does to people who arrive from sea level. Not every article is travel-focused: some look at local history, mining towns and Front Range weather.
