Tourism is one of the strongest economic drivers of Colorado, providing a valuable source of revenue and jobs. In 2016, 82.4 million visitors spent a total of $19.7 billion here, generating $1.2 billion in state and local taxes — an all-time high for the state.

Thanks. I used to work in Wyoming, but spent a fair amount of time in Colorado.
Our two sons still live in Colorado. The difference between the two states is stark.
I like to visit the state, but would never live there. Their politics are surreal.
