Favorite thing about the West
The way the most amazing skies and wide-open landscapes can take your breath away. There’s something magical about watching the sun dip behind the mountains, painting the sky in colors you didn’t think existed. It’s a reminder of how lucky we are to call Colorado home and how important it is to protect it.
