Nickname: The Centennial State Population: 3,893,000 (25th) Area: 104,100 sq miles (8th) Birthplace: Jack Dempsey & Coors Tourism: 800.265.6723 Road Conditions: 303.639.1234 A says: We met several people here that had traveled the world and claimed there was no better place to live than Colorado. For us, it was certainly a great place to play. Snow time she's already famous, and summer she offers up incredible mountain biking, hiking and rafting. We only touched on the possibilities Colorado has to offer. We'll just have to go back! B says: The landlocked state with the most extreme sports possibilities. Great weather year-round. Unmatched alpine scenery. Adventuous people. But the price tag for all this is inflated. Isn't that the way it always is?
