You can visit where dinosaurs of the past lived, look out from the windows of a cliff dwelling, imagine what it was like in a frontier fort or descend deep into a once-working mine. The outdoor life is rich and abundant. Colorado is home to more than 960 species of animals. You can see many of them when you visit any of the 42 state parks which will offer you some of the best outdoor recreation destinations imaginable. 

 

And if part of your second home experience wants to be on the slopes, well then Colorado’s 25 ski resorts will surely lure you away from your other life. Make Colorado your second home state and be close to the Front Range, the Never Summer Range, the Great Sand Dunes, the red rock canyons of the Dolores River, Ute Mountain, Mesa Verde. It’s a heavenly place to be.
