Colorado At Its Best

Being away from my homestate of Colorado for almost ten years made me forget just how beautiful the state really is. Here are a few pictures that try to do it justice.

    Great photos. People still remember the Denver Airport's rocky start, and don't give it proper kudos now. With almost unlimited space, a well designed runway layout, and plenty of low fare options its a great airport to use – even if its a bit of a hike from my neighborhood downtown.

    10 years ago I was driving down to Colorado Springs for low fares. Ugh.

    Great photos too – all the best
