Colorado activity map
Colorado is an amazing state in the United States of America. It has beautiful mountains, rivers, forests, and deserts. It is home to many wildlife species, such as elk, bighorn sheep, black bears, and mountain lions. Colorado is also known for its rich history and culture. It was the site of many Native American tribes, such as the Ute, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Pueblo. It was also part of the Spanish and Mexican territories before becoming a state in 1876. Colorado is nicknamed the "Centennial State" because it became a state one century (and four weeks) after the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence. Colorado is a great place to visit and explore!
