I was born in Colorado, the 8th largest state geographically.
I love Colorado.
It was named after the Colorado River.
I have never been to the Colorado River.
Spanish travelers had named it for the silt the river carried from the mountains.
That is cool, what else do you know?
The Colorado territory was organized on February 28, 1861.
That is a long time ago. Wow.
The state is noted for its vivid landscape of mountains, forests, and canyons.
