Colorado sits where the Rocky Mountains rise sharply from the Great Plains, with high plateaus and river valleys shaping movement across the state.
Denver anchors the Front Range, while Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Boulder connect military, education, technology, and outdoor culture.
Colorado’s economy is powered by aerospace, advanced manufacturing, energy, bioscience, technology, tourism, and agriculture.
Colorado has about 6 million people, with much of its growth concentrated along the Front Range urban corridor.
Colorado is called The Centennial State because it became a state in 1876, 100 years after the Declaration of Independence.
Centennial state
Colorado is a state shaped by altitude, movement, and contrast. The Rocky Mountains rise above plains, plateaus, forests, and river valleys, creating landscapes that shape water, wildlife, cities, and adventure. This project explores how elevation becomes identity.
