Colorado is a state in the western United States encompassing most of the southern Rocky Mountains as well as the northeastern portion of the Colorado Plateau and the western edge of the Great Plains. It is the 8th most extensive and 21st most populous U.S. state. The estimated population of Colorado is 5,758,736 as of 2019, an increase of 14.5% since the 2010 United States Census. The region has been inhabited by Native Americans for more than 13,000 years, with the Lindenmeier Site containing artifacts dating from approximately 9200 BCE to 1000 BCE; the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains was a major migration route for early peoples who spread throughout the Americas. The state was named for the Colorado River, which early Spanish explorers named the Río Colorado ("Red River") for the ruddy silt the river carried from the mountains. #holidayvacation#wintergetaway#staycation#tripinspired#happynewyear

A slice of heaven on earth. It was everything I imagined it being and I was in awe of it's beauty. The entire time I could only think of how lucky I was to soak up all the goodness this place could offer. #tripaway

Driving in Colorado, I met a heavy snow, and the forest turned into a crystal clear ice world. Riding in the ESTES PARK National Park, the horses walk through the virgin forest. The horses don't need to lead the team to pull the reins, and they follow the trajectory of the clever climb. My little heart is both nervous and novel. As it turns out, the horse is very embarrassed. As long as the leader makes a good command in front, it will follow the route, although sometimes climbing and slipping is really scaring me. Before you get on the train, you should train in advance, put on your helmet, and you can't hang valuables on your body to avoid slipping. Follow the team in front, then grab the reins and take care to take photos. The cabin in the distance is covered with snow. The wild elk often gets close to the house and often runs to the forest to find grass. It is very cute. Then there were a few stuck in the middle of the road, and the people who drove had to get off and wait for them to cross the road, a romantic and pleasant experience.

The Great Sand Dunes in Colorado are some of the most impressive on earth. Towering mountains of sand sit right in front of a Mountainous backdrop.
