Colorado is more than beautiful mountains, windswept prairies, and arid deserts. It’s the stories of the people who came before us, of the triumphs and tragedies of life in the rugged frontier, of a state and nation going through growing pains. Life in the West was often a struggle, and some places represent our ingenuity and perseverance.

  • Colorado fall colors map: County-by-county leaf-peeping predictions
    Denver Post, Friday - 09/06/2024 - 11:12 AM

    Every year, a tourism promotion website around Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina releases a fall foliage prediction map for the entire country. The map is fun to play with as it shows a week-by-week prediction for each state between Sept. 2 and Nov. 18. It also breaks it down on a county-by-county basis, displaying estimates for the degree of color change, from minimal or patchy to near-peak and peak. It’s “the ultimate visual planning guide to the annual progressive changing of the leaves,” the website says.

    Denver Post, Thursday - 09/05/2024 - 08:00 AM
