Colorado: Portrait of a State (Portrait of a Place)

Colorado looms large in our minds---where the western prairie terminates on the eastern flank of the mighty Rocky Mountains---endless landscapes, infinite blue skies, and superlative mountain ranges that have inspired everyone who's lived in, hiked, or even just seen them. From the impossibly jagged peaks and sparkling waters of the Front Range to the long, golden grasses of the eastern plains, this tour of Colorado will dazzle you.

 The towering heights of the Fourteeners, those Rocky Mountain peaks with elevations over fourteen thousand feet in height to the short-grass prairies and the sand dunes of the east and southern parts of the state, Colorado is a rich tapestry of scenery and landscapes.
