Colorado’s diverse terrain spans the red sandstone spires of Garden of the Gods and the tallest dunes in North America at Great Sand Dunes National Park. This collection includes millions of acres of protected wilderness across the San Juan and Rio Grande National Forests, alongside unique geological sites like the colorful clay formations of Paint Mines and the fossil trackways at Dinosaur Ridge. From the geothermal waters of Strawberry Park to the historic grounds of Camp Amache, these locations highlight the state’s natural history and outdoor recreation opportunities.
