The ocean is a key point for sure. Go south inColorado and you have the sand dunes and the indigenous housing carved into the rock walls, go east and you have the prairies and grasslands, go halfway west and there is the Rocky Mountains, go further west and it’s landscape mimics that of the desert with the high erosion canyons. Also, can’t sleep on Red Rocks amphitheater and Denver’s culinary options. We also have 54 mountains that are above 14,000 feet that provide views that CGI can’t even match.
Yep. All good points, except the culinary options in Denver since I just assumed we were talking about nature or geography. I have been to every tourist attraction within the state except Mesa Verde, but that’s just another excuse for me to visit and drive through CO again! 💚
If we’re talking about culinary options, I believe Bay area or LA will have far more than Denver, since the cities have people from literally almost every country because of Tech or Hollywood. Again, CA isn’t even in one of my top three states, but that’s just going to be true for huge metropolitan areas.
I think caves have a bit more variability to them which makes them a bit more thrilling. Mines, being artificial, are fairly uniform and while very cool don’t have the variability or the natural aesthetic that the most impressive caves do.
Colorado is the most diverse and beautiful state in the United States. I challenge someone to prove me wrong :)
I loved Colorado. It’s my all time favorite state to Visit, but nature wise, I thought Oregon and California have more diversity.
To begin with, they also have the ocean. Amazing forests, beautiful mountains, volcanoes, fantastic lakes and my favorite, huuuuge trees!

Fair enough :)
Washington?
Colorado is my favorite state. But I don’t think it’s the most diverse. California has mountains, oceans, deserts, large lakes, rivers. Even caves.
Lava tube caves. We also have lava tube caves.
We have caves, just most of them are man made and we call them mines. But I guarantee equally as thrilling to explore!

eh, Montana is more diverse. bigger too
