Five Cool Colorado Indisputable Facts
We all know how incredible Colorado is, so why not throw out a few facts that no one can dispute?
It's like only the heartiest of souls decided to brave the mountains and come to the Western Slope. And we like it like that.
Well, the 30 highest anyway. The Rockies stretch from Canada to New Mexico and the tallest are all ours.
Nowhere is the land higher than Colorado. Oh sure, you may have a few places that have one or two spots over 10,000 feet, but most of them are right here, where you would expect them to be.
The Arkansas river sits at 3,515 feet, which is still higher than several states highest point. Naturally, Colorado just seems to rise above the others.
With over 300 sunny days, Colorado is one of the sunniest states, even with the mountains and the snow. Now I know why so many are so tan here.
There are a few to get you started. There are plenty more where that came from.
