    Minus the weed and the mountains I would bet a lot of people could easily confuse Denver with Mpls. Or MN with CO for that matter. On a whole though, you're right. Colorado is beautiful, progressive and healthy where as half Midwestern states are dumps, minus MN obv.

    Jones pass. Right next to Berthoud pass (amazing, popular and accessible back-country skiing area) and berthoud pass is right next to Winter Park, a very popular ski area.

    that place is awesome but there is much much better.

    No wife, not a teacher but does work for UW. ill save the politics for another thread. The job numbers back up that he hasnt created jobs as promised and his environmental cuts along with putting his friends in high paying jobs that shouldnt be there is documented. I hate the fucker I hope he gets recalled. If you want to argue about it see the other Wisc related political threads with me in therm.

    Yeah a majority of my friends at school are from Chicago, Minn, Columbus, and St. Louis. Colorado and Midwest kids tend to get along great from what I've experienced. We're all the type of kids that can get along with anyone in any setting. East Coast kids tend to stick together, same with the Cali kids. Different attitudes coming from them, there are exceptions of course.

    The only thing they would all have in common is meth abuse...

    This is true. Nobody except maybe 2,000 people in colorado consider that as representative of colorado. The other 3 directions are more representative.
    The western and southern directions are very southwestern in red rock formations and huge canyons etc.
    The west direction is all mountains. Maybe youve heard of them: the Rocky Mountains?
    The north direction is what you might expect of mountainous idaho and wyoming. Ft collins is ok but sort of wisonsony cow feeling aside from the mountains and rock formations. Meh. Its a very small section of colorado tho.
    The majority of the populated state is mountains and southwestern in nature. They would also be the most visited and pretty and where you would actually go to form your opinion of what colorado means to you.
    Granted, sand dunes national park is pretty badass too. Do you have those in the midwest?
    Outside of california, theres not a state with as much variety depending on what direction you go.
    Anyone that thinks Denver represents anything but a city tucked at the base of all the different directions to go like a direction sign is confused or hasnt been anywhere but denver.
