Colorado

The state of Colorado is known for its dramatic landscapes, particularly the towering Rocky Mountains. Named after the Colorado River, shown in our Colorado design, Colorado became the 38th state in 1876, exactly 100 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Colorado’s stunning geography includes 58 mountain peaks over 14,000 feet (known as "fourteeners"), making it a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Because of this, Colorado has world-class skiing - our teammate’s favorite part of living in the state - with 28 major ski resorts. You can see this celebrated in our Colorado patch. 

Colorado has a rich mining history from the Gold Rush, which brought thousands of prospectors west with dreams of striking it rich. Today, the state is known for its thriving craft beer scene (with over 400 breweries) and being the first state to legalize recreational marijuana through a voter referendum in 2012.
