Colorado Must-Sees

Colorado's landscape includes geological formations ranging from the 1,341-acre Garden of the Gods red sandstone to the 14,440-foot summit of Mount Elbert. The state preserves ancient history at Mesa Verde's Cliff Palace and fossilized remains at Dinosaur National Monument. Natural features include the tallest sand dunes in North America and the 365-foot Bridal Veil Falls. Engineering feats like the Royal Gorge Bridge and high-altitude routes such as Independence Pass provide access to rugged canyons, while the Four Corners Monument marks the quadripoint where four states meet.
