Welcome to Colorado

Breathtaking views. Few places on earth are as diverse and stunning as the landscape in Colorado. From the mountains to the desert dunes to the prairie lands, it’s easy to reconnect with nature here.

Adventure. If Colorado offers one thing, it provides a deeply-rooted sense of adventure. With numerous outdoor activities, a shortage of new ventures doesn’t exist with the residents here. Plus, with Colorado’s diverse geography, few individuals repeat the same adventure twice.

City living. If you’re someone who enjoys getting in touch with nature one minute, then ordering a warm, frothy coffee the next minute, Colorado is for you. With such a small separation between the great outdoors and city living, Coloradans get the best of both worlds simultaneously.

Legalization. Since 2012, marijuana has been legal in Colorado. Of course, this particular legalization didn’t come without rules and regulations. Still, it’s one reason for Colorado’s recent population boom.

Job opportunities. The job market in Colorado is promising, offering both skilled and unskilled positions to its residents. Since the mid-90s, job growth has never been more secure and consistent. Also, nearly 7% of workers telecommute, so sitting in a dreary office isn't always reality here.

Personal wellness. It’s widespread that Coloradans live a healthier and more active lifestyle than most others around the U.S. With so much opportunity for outdoor fun and adventure, it only makes sense, after all.

Comfortable weather. Most people assume that Colorado is all ice and cold, but it’s far more than its snowy peaks. The summers hover in the 80s, and the winters don’t often dip below freezing. Plus, it’s sunny and dry most of the time, which is excellent mood-boosting weather.

It’s a skiers utopia. With the vast amount of snow-covered mountains, Colorado is a skier’s dream destination. Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge, and other cities provide dozens of skiing resorts as well as perfectly crisp slopes.

The craft beer. Colorado has such a rich brewing history that its residents have made brewery hopping a lifestyle. From the famous Coors brand to local favorites, such as Ipse Dixit and Gratitude Five, beer lovers are sure to find an enjoyable beverage.

For the dogs. Some places are more welcoming to our four-legged friends than others, and Colorado undoubtedly qualifies as a dog-friendly environment. Many establishments also welcome pooches inside their buildings, too. Plus, most residents enjoy the company of their dogs while adventuring in Colorado outdoors.
