Discover the wonders of Colorado's multiethnic history, ecological and topographical diversity, and magnificent beauty. Along the way stop and explore long-deserted Anasazi Indian cities, powder-packed playgrounds for skiing nirvana, ghost towns and modern communities that retain a pioneer-era flavor, and numerous historic sites and museums detailing Colorado's colorful past.
