COLORADO
Colorado contains more peaks above 14,000 feet than any other state in the contiguous United States, a geographic reality that has made it a destination for mountaineering, skiing, and hiking on a scale few other states can match. Beyond its mountain terrain, it offers Mesa Verde National Park, home to the best-preserved Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings in North America, the sweeping sand dunes of Great Sand Dunes National Park, and the deeply carved Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
