Colorado offers a diverse landscape. From the dry eastern prairie, the landscape abruptly changes at the wall of the Front Range of the Rockies. As the altitude climbs to over fourteen thousand feet, precipitation increases with each ecological zone encountered.
Lush mountain meadows are sprinkled with sparkling high mountain lakes under azure skies.
Colorado transitions again west of the Continental Divide. As the Pacific collects all precipitation, Colorado again dries out. The elevation declines as river canyons wind deep through agricultural, rural areas and high plateaus.
