Colorado encompasses most of the Southern Rocky Mountains as well as the northeastern part of the Colorado Plateau and the western side of the Great Plains. This gives rise to a geography that is uniquely diverse; we’re talking snow-capped mountains and desert lands in the same state! Here are ten images that prove just how colossal Colorado’s landscapes are.
