Good morning, Lori. What a beautiful job you did presenting the state of Colorado today. Counting those already presented, we are half-way through now! Each state has so many beautiful features - it's really nice to get to know more about each one.

I *have* been to Colorado - at least the southern part of it, and it was cool and green and beautiful in the summer, with the clearest streams - for trout fishing! I'm not a lover of fish, but we cooked it on the grill with lemon butter, and it was actually delicious!

Thanks for being such a great tour guide. :)

Pinging you to today's thread - about once a month Mama_Bear features another one of the Beautiful United States of America.

Welcome to the Finest! :)

Thank you, Sistah. It sure is a pretty state. Looks like the only thing is doesn't have is ocean.

I've never been there, but my parents took a trip to Colorado. They stayed in Ouray. Said it was one of the prettiest places they have ever been.

Surrounded by peaks up to 5,000 feet higher than town, Ouray is also blessed with sulphur-free hot springs. One visit and you'll see why Ouray is often called "the Switzerland of America." Imagine relaxing in a flowing hot mineral spring, watching the sunset on the snow-covered peaks above. Ouray is blessed with many good hot springs bubbling to the surface in town. Several of these have been developed into excellent spas and health facilities.
