A state with extreme scerenity, significant sunshine (over 300 days of sunshine a year in Denver) and the best opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The Rocky Mountains make it the state with the highest average elevation. Denver, its capital and largest city (population 570,000), is called the “Mile High City” because it’s capitol is exactly one mile in elevation. Denver is consistently ranked among the top of America’s “fittest” , “thinnest” , and “most educated” cities. About half of the state’s 5 million residents live in the Greater Denver Metro area. Other important population centers include Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Fort Collins—all of which are located on the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains. Colorado has extreme variations in climate. People in Denver can get a tan and snow ski in the same day. The enormous flat plains of eastern Colorado get huge thunderstorms in the spring and summer that make for a great lightening show and tornadoes. Colorado is where the song, America the Beautiful was written. “For purple mountains majesty above the fruited plain” describes Colorado to a tee. Beef cattle and wheat are its two largest agricultural products.
I wouldn't mind living in Colorado. It's progressive, has a reasonable cost of living and generally friendly people.

A state where the powder's almost as fresh as the pot and you can toke it up as you board down the mogules.

The one state in the United States where weed is legal. If you want to get some weed and camp out then Colorado is the place to be.
Guy 1: Yo man, do you know a state that contains some good weed shops.
Guy 2: Yeah man, we should go to Colorado to get some weed.
Guy 1: Oh yeah! Pack your things!

You know you're from Colorado when
________________________________
You have gone to school with a foot of snow on the ground and gotten out of classes and gone tanning… all in the same day!
You drink Celestial Seasonings and know it originated in Colorado!
Thunder has set off your car alarm.
You are the third car to run a red light after it has changed…unless you’re in Boulder where they have those camera things :S
You personally wouldn't pay $10 per head to drive up Pikes Peak unless it was the only mountain on earth, but you tell all our house-guests to do it.
You get depressed after one day of foggy weather.
You've been tear gassed in a riot to celebrate a CU/CSU victory.

Known as the 'Bi-polar' state 'cause one minute it's the next it's cold. A lot of tourist attractions and things to do all over the place. Generally nice people and people who actually WORK for what they have. Lots of skiing and snowboarding in the mountains. The capital is Denver with Elitches, as people in colorado call it, and Casa Bonita, an awesome place to go for atmosphere (although the food isn't very good). Colorado Springs, another large city, is less crowded and business-y than denver. More open space with parks, hiking, pikes peak, and Garden of the Gods. Lots of newer, more relaxed churches where the dress code is whatever you wear the rest of the week. Although Colorado doesn't have a beach, it makes up for that!
Amy: I just moved to Colorado.
Macy: That must suck!
Amy: Actually it doesn't! Everyone says bad things about it but it's actually really awesome!

A state where if you don’t like to go jerk off in the woods or don’t want to devote your life to our shitty sports teams you are not welcome.
“Hey Chad u wanna go to the mountains and bust one out?”
“Hell yeah man let me go put on my Peyton Manning jersey on first”
“God I love Colorado”
