Colorado: Rocky Mountain High

Picture of trees and mountains in Colorado

Colorado is home to four national parks. Rocky Mountain National Park is the most visited, but Mesa Verde, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and Great Sand Dunes are also great, and drastically different! Mount Elbert is the tallest of many “fourteeners” – mountain peaks over 14,000 feet in elevation. There are approximately 96 “fourteeners” in the United States, and over half are in Colorado.
