Yes, absolutely.
Would love to see some of your favorite places where you live ❤even pictures…
My wife and I live up in the mountains of Colorado and got married in Estes Park, it's really pretty up there, definitely recommend a visit there if you ever get to come to the US!
He skipped over the fact that the building for the hot springs pool in Glenwood Springs, CO, was once the hospital, or sanitarium, where Doc Holiday, the famous gunslinger, died. His grave is actually across the river and on the hill behind the houses.
I was born in Colorado and I don't think I can ever get myself to leave. It is so beautiful, from the Rockies, Denver, the deserts and Mesa Verde, so forth and so on. I'm glad others around the world understand why we're so proud of our state!
This is how I feel, I continue to contemplate leaving because of the influx of people, but idk if I could really leave
Same. Always consider leaving because of how crowded and dirty Denver is getting but the state outside the metro area is just too perfect
Colorado Native here. Red Rocks Amphitheater is the best place on Earth to watch a concert
Yes! I saw Iron Maiden there in the 80’s
Opeth. Legendary performance
U2 playing in the rain back in the day was an unforgettable concert. Red rocks is epic.
I've actually performed at Red Rocks; I was part of the massed choir at the Red Rocks memorial service for the victims at Columbine H.S.. Cold, miserable day, and the dressing rooms were carved from bare rock, unheated, and colder than outdoors. I wonder whether they've done something about that since.
Colorado USED to be a beautiful state but because of progressive open border policies it's not as clean and pristine as it once was. It's sad.
I've lived in colorado for 40 years since my birth in 1983. It's crazy beautiful. I liked the late 80s and 90s better, but the beauty never changes.
85 here. I completely agree. Early 2000s weren't too bad but after about 2005 just make me grumpy. Lol
@@licilawless3557 LOL born in Durango in '83 I agree. It's so expensive to live in so many places now. I fear I may not last another 40 years.
A lot of people outside of the US think of it as California, Florida, and New York City. I love that you are exploring and enjoying all this country has to offer.
And usually when they think of California, it's mainly Southern Cali and the L.A. area, not the rest of the state. Also, many seem to think of a big chunk of everywhere else as Texas or Texas-like.
#facts!
Oklahoma has some amazing nature. It's often overlooked by most of the country.
@themourningstar338 I grew up in the Mojave Desert in CA. A lot of ppl find it ugly but I love it. It has a spiritual beauty.
@OkiePeg411 I have driven through Oklahoma years ago. It for sure gets over looked.
Durango Colorado is like walking onto a perfect, beautiful movie set. It’s so pretty it just doesn’t seem real.
13:00 when you drive into Colorado from other states, you're greeted with a sign that says, "Welcome to Colorful Colorado". So you're not alone in that appreciation...
US is a melting pot of people from all corners of the world, which is why I think anyone who wants to be welcome will be welcome to any state.
COLORADO in my opinion is the most beautiful state. You might find the Royal gorge bridge & park interesting or Durango to Silverton by train through the narrow gorge, but if you choose to visit and ride the 1882 train book tickets in advance. They was booked a year in advance when we had planned to go.
Native CO here, I never plan on leaving EVER!
I love that we have seasons, granted, they may change every 15 min. but that’s where we get our gorgeous colors.
Another native here - so so true. Don't like the weather - just give it a couple minutes!
Colorado native, you are more than welcome! I'll add it's beautiful weather most of the year but when it's cold it's COLD (we love the cold)
Yes, we do!
Why do you natives think we care about your welcome?
Agree we love the cold
I've been to Breckenridge. I loved it and I'm from Vermont State. I will love to move there in the future
LOL, I don’t know about loving the cold, but I’d rather be cold than too hot!
Boulder Resident here. The town is everything the hype makes it seem. We know exactly what we've got.
The mountains are visible from all angles of boulder because we legally restrict build height. you can't build buildings too tall in boulder.
Like I said. We know what we got.
Ya thanks for limiting the supply of housing. That's helping :/
One day I’d love to live in Boulder.
@@mattipps boulder is expensive and its beauty pristine. Like I said. We know what we got. There is a green belt boulder owns around the town where building is prohibited. This protects wildlife as well as makes it harder for urbanization to reach boulder. the result is a unique culture. albeit it expensive. We know what we got.
@@JDT-dr2iz Owning land in boulder is expensive, but renting in boulder is about the same as the neighboring towns.
@@dustinyager11 I live 20 miles from Boulder, i know what you got. A hipster utopia, nothing but pink hair, septum rings and weed smoke.
“If Telluride isn’t on this list at #1…” Every Colorado resident. That place is basically heaven on earth 🙂
Eh. As a Colorado native, Telluride is overrated. Just my 2 cents.
crazy Breck made the list but Steamboat didnt tho......this list is so random imo.
Or Manitou like hi two of those pics were from there dude
The only one on the list I haven't been to yet. I hope to remedy that someday.
Yes, it is
I’ve spent some time in Colorado, and while many states have their own unique beauty, Colorado scenery is one of the most dramatic. The Rockies are higher than you can imagine (and pictures don’t carry the punch of the real thing). Canyons are deeper and wider. Wildlife is bigger.
Those colorful canyon walls CHANGE color all day, depending on how the sun hits them at different times.
It’s gorgeous all right. There aren’t words to describe it.
I was born and raised in colorado the most beautiful state in the 🇺🇸 I well never leave my home sweet home. I proud to be a colorado child ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Lived in Colorado for 42 years, it's such a beautiful state. You don't need to leave the state to have a wonderful vacation. So much to see and do
I live in a town called Longmont. My husband and I like to take vacations in CO. We visited Breckenridge, Glenwood Springs, Vail and Ouray. All these towns are soooo beautiful. I’m surprised that the guy on the video didn’t mention that Estes Park is the home of the Stanley Hotel, which was Stephen King’s inspiration for the movie The Shining. You should come visit some day.
Fellow longmonster
I’m just up the road from you in Berthoud!
Another Longmonster
Coloradoan here. My heart will never get tired of the beauty here. The politics, yes, but not the beauty.
For reals.
Yep 😂
Same, once people like you finally leave we’ll be able to realize the state’s true potential!
@@beefjezos2713: Must mean the Libertards.
@@beefjezos2713
just move already. 🤡
I’m a Colorado native, and moved back to my home state 24 years ago. It was very affordable back then, but is expensive now (and getting crowded-at least for me). That being said, you can drive into the mountains and get away from the crowds. I’ve lived in seven states and visited 46, and Colorado is one of my two top recommendations. The other is California, though I would never move back there. Both states have spectacular scenery and there’s plenty to do. Colorado Springs is one place you should definitely visit, but I’d give Vail a pass-it’s expensive and there’s not that much to do. Colorado does have flat land-the eastern half-but that is pretty, too. We’re also less than a day’s drive away from both Utah and Wyoming, which have lots of gorgeous natural beauty themselves. People here are very friendly!
Great summary. Cheers, love our country
I would not say that Coloradans are friendly, especially compared to people in the Midwest and South.
I'm also in Colorado Springs. 👋
@@derpyeh9107 Yes we are friendly for the most part - people come from all over the country to live here, so there's a mix of cultures.
@@BonniBarlow-fn6oj Are you a native?
I am Coloradoan, in Colorado springs, this made me unreasonably happy. A lot of my now ex's have always tried to get me to move out of this state, but I just CANT. It's beautiful, and just feels right being here. 💜
Im from Colorado and never realized how beautiful my state is and now i feel people underestimate this place as just denver and mountains but it is so much more than that
I'm a native - but left for 20 years... I've lived in Germany, France, England and Ireland (as well as Cali, New York and Virginia) and I'm always surprised at how beautiful it really is... I recently did a drive from Co Springs to Westcliff and yeah it's just stunning :-)
We're spoiled AF.
Top for me as a European I have been here 30 years and with real seasons and 300 days of sunshine a year no matter how cold in winter I felt right at home. As you think you would not feel home, the diversity of ppl here is amazing mostly because all the military bases here . The dry heat by far more comfortable for me then humidity. Being up in elevation it does take time to adjust for sure and it gets pretty hot in summer as well in Colorado springs. Love the wildlife. The beautiful blue skies. ❤
Ouray is pronounced You-ray.
I love this state, it's soo easy to escape into nature and not see another human. And the first decision when eating out is deciding what Nationality of food your feeling
Hello from Colorado! I'm happy to see your appreciation for our beautiful state. I'm a bit biased because it's my city, but I agree that Colorado Springs is not only beautiful, but has so many wonderful things to do. I'm a little disappointed with the video footage shown of Estes Park, however. It comes nowhere near showing the true beauty of that little town. It's one of my favorites to visit and is number three on their list for good reason. Crime here is low compared to many places in the US. We are, indeed, relatively laid back. It is fairly expensive to live here, but wages are generally higher, as well.
I believe you would be very well received here and by people all around the country, no matter which area. Americans are quite curious about other cultures and eager to learn about the different people. Please, consider yourself welcome to come here anytime! ❤
Not on list but worthy of mention
1) Aspen/Snowmass. This omission is egregious.
2) Steamboat Springs. Also an absolute stunner
3) Creede - if you know, you know.
4) Victor - photographer’s dream
5) Leadville - sky city
6) Durango - Has it all
7) Buena Vista - the translation in English is an understatement
8) Trinidad - funky revival of working class coal mining town.
9) Marble / Redstone. The Lincoln Memorial was built from a nearby quarry.
10) Fort Collins - Disney modeled their Main Street after this town’s Main Street
11) Grand Lake - prime water front
12) Golden - Coors / Buffalo Bill Grave / Mother Cabrini shrine
13) Lake City
14) Evergreen
15) Morrison - home of world famous Red Rocks Amphitheater-Iconic concert venue. You don’t know Colorado unless you’ve been here
16) Gateway - stunning resort in canyon country
17) Mesa Verde - Colorado’s original condominium community founded 900 years ago - near Cortez
18) Denver - duh
19) Westcliffe and the magic Wet Valley
20) Alamosa / Great Sand Dunes.
20) Ridgway - movie scenery beautiful.
21) Aurora. Just kidding.
There simply not enough days in a lifetime to enjoy everything Colorado has to offer. It’s a really fun state if your knees are study, your lungs are strong, and your wallet is overflowing. It’s a playground.
Utah, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, and California also rank in the S tier along with Colorado for nature photography and outdoors adventure. But a lot of places in the US offer better variety in music, food, culture, and career opportunities that you won’t find in some charming out of the way mountain town.
Cheers💛⛰️
agree with 21
@@gleventhal3855Always said I never wanted to live anywhere near Denver. Imagine my disgust whenI got stationed at Buckley. Denver's...okay, but I'm not sure about it being on this list. Agree with all the others, though. Hell, the area around Ridgway HAS been in several Westerns...the original "True Grit" comes to mind.
This is a very good, comprehensive list of places not in the video. Silverton is another obvious choice you missed on your list. I would also add Waldron in North Park.
basically all of the "springs" named towns on the eastern edge of the mountains. I was stationed in CO Springs and the off highway drive to Denver was filled with awesome little towns.
Then there is Canon City and the Royal Gorge. Cripple Creek too. Hahaha just to many to name.
Ayy I live in Colorado! Some fun facts about Colorado:
-Colorado has the lowest obesity rate of any state in the US
-Colorado’s state capitol and most populous city, Denver, is nicknamed the “mile high city” because it’s elevated more than a mile above sea level
-Leadville Colorado is the highest town in America, situated at just above 11,000 feet (about 3400 m)
-Colorado houses the tallest mountain in the lower 48 states, Mount Elbert, sitting at 14,400 ft (about 4600 m)
-Although we’re the Rocky Mountain state, nearly half of Colorado is flat and basically looks like Kansas
-In the southwest tip of Colorado, you can stand in four states at once as Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado share perpendicular border lines
Anyways, love the videos man, keep it up!
Not from Colorado myself (as my name would suggest, I’m Californian), but my family is and most of them still live there and I’ve spent a lot of time there over the years. Colorado is, in my opinion, the most beautiful state in the US. Everything is larger than life and bigger than you think it could possibly be, and the variety of the state is very high. The mountains are huge, the plains are expansive, and the rivers seethe with power. Plus, because it’s very centrally located and quite diverse, you can get practically any type of cuisine or culture you could want there. It’s got everything from big cities to tiny towns in the mountains to isolated farmlands in the high valleys. About the only thing it doesn’t have are swamps or coastal beaches. The climate is mild most of the year, though winters can be absolute beasts due to the elevation of most of the state and the natural precipitation sink of the Rocky Mountains.
Regarding your question of whether you would be welcomed there as an immigrant or foreigner? I honestly can’t think of a state that’s more welcoming to outsiders than Colorado. As long as you are not a supporter of the wrong football team, you’re more than welcome there, and there’s really only a few major rivalries that matter to coloridians. Just don’t support Vegas, Kansas City, or San Diego and you’ll be fine. :p Colorado is very proud of it’s football team (Denver Broncos) and has a good-natured rivalry with most of the other football teams except the three I mentioned above.
Hey Brother, as a native Coloradan I can tell you crime isn't too bad in our state. You have to worry about car thefts in Denver, but most other places in the state are pretty safe. If you come to visit I would recommend the summertime (winter is best for winter-sport people). You would be welcome here; especially in Boulder. It's a cultural melting pot with inspiration from all over the world. My boss came from South Africa, and he started his business with an Englishman.
I was just In Colorado a few weeks ago on vacation. Let me tell you, pictures and videos absolutely don't do it justice. It's so much prettier in person.
Boulder resident here! I love the fact that the city has beautification laws. Buildings have a build height limit. If trees are removed for construction purposes, others are planted in their place.
There’s obviously downsides because it is becoming more populated, and just being a city gives it its flaws. But you cannot deny that it is a very beautiful city.
The awe and love you have for my state makes me feel much pride as a Coloradan. Lovely video
In 1972 my family packed up us 5 kids and a camper and headed to Colorado. We camped in Rock Mountain National Park which was right by Estes Park. It was the most beautiful scenery you can see.
My parents lived just up the mountain from Estes Park for a few years. I loved going to visit them. It's an incredibly beautiful place. I loved just existing there.
My parents brought us camping out here when I was seven, took too many decades, but I always knew this was my place and moved to this beatiful state when I got the "balls" to move over a thousand miles without knowing anyone.
Coloradan all my 40 years. You've seen the beauty of the mountain towns, but an underrated aspect are the small Eastern towns on the prairies. I feel like I've gone back in time 10, 20 years there. Colorado weather is nearly perfect. It has all four seasons, but is neither too hot nor too cold. We get snow, but it melts in a few days because we get so much direct sun.
From Colorado. We have hot summers and snowy winters. All four seasons beautiful here. Fall where all the leaves change color.
Coloradoan here... Watching your love for my home was so heartwarming! Come visit. We're very friendly. ❤
Subscribed, you will absolutely be welcomed in Colorado. I am a native & I live near Golden, CO. (I live super close to iconic Buffalo Bill's grave). All I can say is DO NOT move to Boulder or Denver....SOOO EXPENSIVE NOW! I am VERY thankful to live here. CO is a geological wonder. This one state has SO many attractions close to Denver & basically north, west, & south have glorious different activities. Tons of mines to tour, fishing, hunting, camping, amazing western history, caving, gambling in Black Hawk & Central City, there's CRAZY amount of state/national parks, Red Rocks (a natural amphitheater that looks like Garden of the Gods), SAND DUNES is a MUST, plus the hot springs in multiple cities nearby.
I lived in Colorado for a bit (Evergreen), and one thing to remember about a lot of these beautiful towns is that they are EXPENSIVE to visit - so if you visit, be prepared to pay for it.
Also for #1: Telluride - A popular myth about the naming of the town is that it is a shortening of "To Hell You Ride".
I think the reference is to the element tellurium, which carries - sometimes-- gold.
I live in Grand Junction, Colorado. The state is a beautiful place to live with all the unbelievable scenery shown in the video. I love it here. So much to do!!❤
Me too!
As a Colorado native and someone that lives here currently after moving back, I love it here. There are many times a week I tell my partner how beautiful it is here and how much I love it.
You would really enjoy watching a video on the Pikes Peak race in the Colorado Springs area. 2nd oldest race in America (over 100 years old), where people race cars built with the sole purpose of climbing Pikes Peak. The entire race happens above 9,000' (2,800m), and the cars climb over 4,700' (1,400m) to reach the finish line!
Pikes peak hillclimb is so fun to watch
I am a 5th gen Coloradan and Ouray is my Dad’s hometown. I still have lots of family there and I am blessed to call Ouray my home away from home.
If you’re going visit you should come during early fall so you can see the leaves change.
Crimes rates in Colorado are higher in Denver and the surrounding suburbs as well as southern Colorado around Pueblo. The towns in this video are very safe. You will be well received here. While not every place is perfect we are pretty friendly folk.
We love to visit Manitou Springs. The Red Rock is there. We enjoy concerts and beautiful scenery. Garden of the Gods , and Pikes Peak are a stones throw away. Enjoy!
Been in Colorado my whole life, and I will never leave :) thanks for the special video celebrating my state
Absolutely do this for all 50. They are all so different and have their unique charm and cultural influences. You wont believe how vast and diverse America truly is.
As a native ofbColorado it is a breathtaking state. And itbisnone ofbthe sunniest states. Every turn ofbthe road reveals a new stunning vista.
Hello from Colorado. We live halfway between Glenwood and Ouray, Crested Butte and Telluride.
He didn't mention Durango and Pagosa springs which both deserve a high spot on this list
Agreed! Both of those towns are amazing.
I have been in colorado since 2015. It is nice. I enjoy all the 4x4 and camping it has to offer. I came from upstate NY. It has its own beauty with the Adirondack mountains to the 1000 islands region.
I've lived in Colorado for most of my life and absolutely love it. I've visited all 50 states and find beauty in each but Colorado is outstanding. Our winter can be cold but the snow usually melts in a few weeks due to the warm weather that follows a snow storm. It does get hot for about 6 weeks, with temperatures at or above 100 F. On our farm it frequently gets to 105 + in August. I live in the eastern part of the state, altitude of 4,700 ft.
It's cheaper to not live in the towns mentioned and just visit them. Our little town of 7,500 people has many immigrants, mostly from Mexico, Central and South America. One neighbor is from Peru, another from Hungary, others from Cuba and from Ireland. I'm from Norway and our daughter-in-law is from Germany. We welcome everyone and are very inclusive.
Ouray is at the head of a glacial valley. Breckenridge has an annual ice sculpting contest. Estes Park is my favorite because it is where I took my honeymoon ;-)
Colorado Native here, we definitely take our beautiful state for granted some times. It's lovely to see people from other countries react to your home.
Coloradan here! 🙋🏻♂️ it’s the most incredible place to live. So gorgeous and you never get used to the beauty.
We lived in Colorado Springs for 8 years. Our daughter went back and is currently in Colorado for College. It is beautiful. Garden of the Gods was a 10 minute drive from the house. There is 7 falls, and incredible views of the rocky mountains.
I live in Colorado...Colorado Springs specifically. If you thought the pictures were stunning, then you would absolutely lose your mind seeing everything in person. It literally lives up to the hype YEAR-ROUND. Beautiful breath-taking scenery in every season. Crime is nowhere near what it is in all of the southern states. It is a liberal state, so you would absolutely be welcome here. Should you make it over here, please reach out. Would be happy to show you around.
Colorado is amazing. The mountains are spectacular.
I love Colorado! ❤❤❤ it's like heaven on earth. The air is so crisp and clear and smells of pine!!! Lakes reflect the sky and it's surreal. 50
It still amazes me that Andre comes from the one of the most beautiful Nations in not only Europe, but the World, Portugal 🇵🇹 , But appreciates the beauty of Our Nation soo much and is genuine about it. Ty
Thank you for looking into our beautiful state, its such a blessing to live here honestly.
Theres really no place like Boulder, up and away but close enough to everything. So much diversity, so much culture. And so beautifully maintained.
Colorado neighbor here-Wyoming native. Glad you’re enjoying the mountain west! Love to see the appreciation!
I live in Colorado Springs. Some of the best views really are from the grocery store parking lots. Colorado has become an expensive place to rent or purchase a home, with Aspen, Vail and Telluride being the most expensive. A normal single-family home in Aspen will run you around $10,000,000. Here in Colorado Springs, you can buy a decent house for about $500,000.
Can confirm. You walk out of Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, or even the Wal-Mart Supercenter on North Academy, that mountain range just smacks you in the eye. Many times I’ve whispered “I can’t believe I live here.”
I've lived in Colorado for 5 years and loved it. I also lived in Florida, Wisconsin and Illinois, but Colorado was my favorite. The mountains were breathtaking. Everything was so clean and people were so nice. I loved that i could get up in the morning, look out my window and see the mountains. One city i didn't get to visit was Central City, where they make it like the old westerns. People dress and act like they're in an old western town. Just driving around the state was a great time.
I was born and raised in Denver, 8 blocks east of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. I moved to Michigan 12 years ago, and I miss it SOOOOO MUCH!!! Watching this video is making me all teary eyed. 🥹
I've lived in and moved out of Colorado twice in the last decade due to work. It's absolutely beautiful, the scenery is so breathtaking, and I always miss the mountains when I move away, but this most recent stay (2022 to Feb 2024) has made me realize that I probably can never afford to move back. It's gotten so incredibly expensive, which is fairly depressing.
Ouray, Colorado is a great base camp for fantastic 4-wheel drive adventures around Animas Forks, which is an amazing journey to an excellent ghost town.
The United States is beautiful. I’ve been to 46 out of 50 states and love aspects of all of them. I have never been to Portugal but my guess is Southern California would feel closest to your familiar climate, San Diego specifically. California has everything. Politicians are determined to take the fun out of the place but still, as much as I hate to admit it, California is geographically the best (I don’t live there but understand why one out of nine Americans do live there). That said, if you can handle the winters, any of the Rocky Mountain states are incredible. Louisiana and Mississippi and Alabama get a bad rap because of a few violent pockets, but they are beautiful as well, and very friendly, with an abundance of great food and culture. I suggest you take the month of August to fly here and rent a car, and drive until the wheels fall off. America is waiting for you, Andre.
Ultimately it is the cities where crime happens. The bigger issue for a lot of the south is education which affects income which affects health. The maps of America are where these plus crime became evident to Andre but remember, maps lie. Using one metric to color the whole country is folly and every metric should be balanced against population and then against further by % pop in cities.
All places and people in America are beautiful. Finding the beauty can be the hard part
I was born here left to travel. Came back. I live next to the Garden of the Gods. It id so beautiful here.
Colorado native for 55 years. Yes, the western half of our state is very beautiful. That beauty extends north into Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. The Rocky Mountains are absolutely gorgeous.
Watching these videos reminds as to why maybe US hymns with lyrics such as 🎵 America! America! God shed His grace thee 🎵- were written. Many of us just take this for granted.
I can personally vouch for the beauty of Colorado, particularly the mountain towns. I live just outside of Boulder and it's setting up against the mountains is breathtaking. As are Estes, Ouray, Teluride, Crested Butte, etc. But Colorado has another side represented by Durango in SW Colorado which gives you a taste of the Old West including the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge railroad. It's a coal burning train that climbs up over multiple passes over 10,000 feet in elevation to old mining town Silverton. That's a delightful corner of Colorado too.
Glad you mentioned Durango. I've stayed there a few times, rode the train, drove the Million Dollar Highway and generally enjoyed the heck out of the experience. Even got to photograph the ice climbers in Ouray. That was an amazing sight.
Grew up in Ouray, love Silverton. Never rode the train out of Durango until my train-fanatic four-year-old wanted to ride...he's 24 and still nuts about trains. Also love Pagosa Springs, although I prefer Ouray's hot springs as they don't have a strong sulfur smell.
@@ex-navyspook There's a motel in Ouray that's backed up to the hillside and has natural hot springs hot tubs. Absolutely heavenly.
@@bevinboulder5039 Yup, the Wiesbaden. Used to walk by there all the time on the way back from the local market. The school was only a block from there.
I'm a younger colorado native and I thought I had seen all of the prettiest spots in colo. Yet, I went on a small camping trip 3 hours north of denver and discovered some of the most beautiful spots I've ever seen anywhere in the states.
50! As an old Colorado native got to tell ya, I love every place mentioned in this video. The people of Colorado are warm and friendly, and you would be most welcome to visit or move there. Colorado is one of the more expensive states because people might go there for university and stay which drives up the demand for housing. The food is fabulous in Colorado whether Mexican, Vietnamese, or haute cuisine. It snows a lot in the mountains, generally but places like Boulder and Colorado Springs are very manageable, and Denver, the capital has almost perfect weather. It snows but usually thaws in a short period of time and everyone gets back outdoors to run, bike or play. It is also the healthiest state in the Union due to outdoor activities and the youthful population.
Do one on Louisiana, New Orleans specifically. It’s Mardi Gras right now here . Every state has its own beautiful towns and attractions
Our Colorado state flag is a representation of the remarkable colors in the state….take a look…red for red rocks, blue for sky, green for nature and white for snow
Great reaction….thank you!
And Gold for the precious metal that has been mined here.
I have lived in Colorado for 30 years. My family and I love the San Juan Mts we do a lot of 4 wheel driving in our Jeep in that part of Colorado.
One thing you learn after living here for a while is the sunsets and sunrises are crazy from almost anywhere. I see the most vibrantly colorful skies without ever having seen the Aurora Borealis, even
We've lived in Colorado for 45 years and will never leave. Often my eyes can't believe what they're seeing, it's so beautiful. All newcomers are welcome.
Seriously, EVERY day I go outside in the Denver metro area I'm just so grateful to look over and see those big blue beauties to the west and the golden prairies to the east. Just so happy for all of the lovely places around me.
Unless you're from California
Colorado represent here 😎
I am from Sweden, and I have lived in CO for 35 years. I love it here. Colorado's nickname: Colorful Colorado
Another Colorado native here, I’d be happy to answer any questions about the State. We’re known as Colorful Colorado, it’s not cold here like people think because it’s so sunny. For example, Denver has more days of sunshine than Miami. I’d say there’s about 2-3 weeks total that are too cold for me, depending on where you are in the State. It is beautiful and it is friendly. You would be welcomed with open arms and instantly make friends I guarantee it! I’m surprised Aspen wasn’t on the list. I honestly don’t think the pictures in the video do it justice. I don’t know if anyone has mentioned the 58 14ers, meaning that we have 58 mountain peaks that are more than 14 thousand feet above sea level, including Pikes Peak which inspired the song America the Beautiful. I could go on and on… I could take some pictures and videos too if there are any requests to do so. Oh, and there isn’t a lot of crime in those towns. A good story might be Coach Prime aka Deon Sanders who went from the south to Boulder and how different things are in those places, if you’re interested. It’s college football. Thanks!
50! Definitely make sure to do videos on Utah, Arizona, and California
I love and have been to all of these places! Garden of the Gods is my favorite place to relax. I went to Boulder for my undergrad. I hope you visit some day! 😊
I grew up in Colorado Springs and went to school in Boulder and the sheer amount of mountains is what makes the state so beautiful. We have 28 ski resorts and 58 peaks over 14,000ft (4268m). Most of the state is at a high altitude, even in the valleys, but we are actually at the same latitude as Portugal, so the sun still feels nice and warm even if it's freezing out. Coloradoans are very nice people, but we do have a problem with growing cost of living because of how popular our state has become.
Colorado Native here also. ⛰️🏔️It’s an outdoorsman’s paradise.
Stop asking if you be accepted in US!!😅😅 OF COURSE!!! USA is so diverse you would never have problem, esp where I live in Texas, Americans love non natives and welcome them everywhere
Colorado too is a very accepting and kind place. It can also get VERY cold, but that will only be for maybe a week a year. Otherwise, it’s a bit chilly for half the year, and mid 90s the rest of the year.
Do one on New England. The literary origins of American Literature, the Pilgrims, the greatest Universities, American political thought and many other things.
PS Totally agree about Switzerland! It’s the most beautiful country I’ve ever visited in my life, but my current state of Colorado definitely is up there for sure, and the closest I’ve felt to Switzerland 😊
That's why it's called Colorful Colorado! Come the last week of September or first week of October to enjoy the autumn colors.
Check out the best National Forests in America. I swear some of the National Forests are better than the National Parks
I grew up in colorado springs. He missed so much. Cave of the winds. Manitou. The Olympic training center. The sand dunes. Seven falls. The incline. The broadmoor.
Our family moved to Colorado in 2009 and we love it here. The word Colorado does mean "colorful", which is true, it is absolutely beautiful. CO has a very relaxed vibe and is very welcoming. The weather is beautiful too. Yes, it is cold in the winter but with the altitude it is still sunny most of the time. Please come visit, if you can!
I was born here, in Colorado Springs. I lived in cripple creek, woodland park, divide, berthoud, Colorado Springs, and falcon. Every place here offers outdoor activity’s and a sense of community. I would say that Colorado Springs and Denver are pretty, but the worst places to live in Colorado along with Pueblo. Also, it’s more of a tourist state now compared to the tightly nit community of people I would meet growing up. Less connection with people, less social interaction, too much traffic on small and untamed roads. This state was made by passionate individuals over a long long period of time, and also natives would try very hard to keep out tourists because our state progressively gets more messed up, gross, and expensive over time. Crime rates have skyrocketed here, and it’s mostly too expensive to do the things you would actually want to do like some of the things in this video. If you’re looking at moving here, my top recommendations would be monument, grand junction, Loveland/ Longmont. If you’re a college student, boulder is probably better than anywhere else.
I think the idea of showcasing each state is a good one. Just remember you are normally seeing the best places, not always the norm
I love Colorado! I moved here 10 years ago because I fell in love fully with the mountains from the top of Independence Pass - near Leadville and Twin Lakes ❤❤
I’ve lived in Colorado my whole life but I’ll say people do forget about the Eastern plains. It’s not as spectacular as the mountains but looking out on rolling hills of golden grass swaying in the breeze. It’s like staring at waves in the ocean. Just beautiful
I'm a Colorado native and love our state. It is truly beautiful.
I am from Colorado, the best way to describe it is “the mountains are high but the people are higher”
I live in New Castle Colorado, and work in Glenwood Springs. They mentioned nothing about Maroon Bells. One of the most photographed mountain ranges in the world. I moved up here with my brother after I got out of the navy. We did live in Texas but I knew I wasn't going to go back. Don't get me wrong. I love Texas. But the quality of life up here is amazing. Love the video.
Yes I lived here very beautiful place the mountains is amazing
I AM in love with Colorado. I'm from California, but currently living in AZ. First time I ever stepped foot in CO was at the Denver airport on the way to another state, so I didn't get to see CO . It as hard to see outside due to weather. The next time I went to CO was in the winter of 06 or 07, drove from CA during the winter. I will NEVER forget it. I fell in love! And although the weather was sketchy at times, it was still an amazing experience. I remember stopping in Vail and when I stepped out of the car, my jaw dropped. Green mountains with snow and the beautiful buildings surrounding us, I can't explain in words. I have been to CO i think 6 or 7 times. One of those times was in the summer, went to Fort Collins but i remember thunderstorms were visible all around on the way there from the east. Fort Collins is another great town, but it has grown a lot since I was last there. My last trip to CO was last year, this time I went to Colorado Springs to check out the area as I do plan on moving to CO in the near future. It is my goal for this year or next year. The Garden of Gods in CO Springs left me speechless, almost like the spiritual experience I had visiting the Grand Canyon in AZ . I cried when I went to Grand Canyon. It's so unreal. Even though I grew up in CA, I never felt like it was my home. AZ also does not feel like home for me. I had always felt I didn't belong anywhere, but when I'm in Colorado, it feels like home to me. It's killing me being stuck in AZ right now. AZ does have it's beauty in the north, like Sedona, Grand Canyon and Flagstaff, but I live in the flat part of AZ and i don't enjoy it. Seeing others react to CO they way I did, makes me smile. 💖
Also been to Telluride. Pictures don't do it justice. You just have to go and experience it. I did not want to leave!😄
I am in Colorado now. I moved here when I was 5 years old, when I was 36 I moved to New Mexico for 10 years and now I have moved back to Colorado last month. While New Mexico definitely had some beautiful places, nothing is as beautiful to me as my Colorado Rocky Mountains. This place is my home, my Shangri-La, my heaven on earth. I can live here in the suburbs, get downtown Denver in30 minutes for an urban life and culture, and then in just 30-45 minutes and I am in some of the most beautiful mountain terrain in the country. Just a little bit longer, an hour or two and I am on top of the world on top of one of the many 14ers. Colorado just has so much to offer, from lifestyles to culture and diversity, wide open plains to 14,000 ft mountains, gorgeous sunny summers to cold winters with snow…. I just love this state. ❤ (watching till the end but commenting early)
I moved to a southern suburb of Denver Colorado 38 years ago. Was a great place to raise children and is the most beautiful state in the United State.
Yes, Colorado is the most beautiful state in America. I have lived here 28 years and LOVE it!
