Colorado was first named by the Spanish conquistadores who called the state Colorado, which meant 'the color red.' To visit a dude ranch is one of the best ways to experience this scenic and awe-inspiring country, where you can experience a cattle drive, horse-back ride, chow down on a chuck wagon supper, play country fiddle, and while relaxing by the glow of a cozy roaring campfire, you can breath in the crisp air to enjoy your own real-life Rocky Mountain High. The Continental Divide divides a jagged line through this state, leaving its eastern portion with rolling hills and golden plains, while the other side of the state is home to sweeping vistas of forested mountains seemingly reaching for the sky. Colorado even boasts the highest city in America, Leadville, at 10,190 feet above sea level. Colorado is home to myriad wildlife including the lynx which was re-introduced in 1999. Adventurous activities can include rock climbing, some of the best skiing in the country, snowboarding and snowmobiling, mountain biking, hiking, swimming, boating, water skiing, excellent fly fishing, and river rafting which can range from quiet floats through spectacular canyons to heart-thumping white-water excitement for the wild at heart.
