People in Colorado have strong opinions about their favorite season, and those opinions say a lot about them, so why not keep yours? The way you think about this place will shift over the years, and a daily question lets you catch it as it is right now. The friends and family you choose will get to see Colorado through your eyes.
Colorado
Rocky Mountain National Park reaches from montane meadows and subalpine forests up to peaks in the alpine tundra. Every autumn, elk come down from the high country to the meadows for their breeding season. What do you remember about your first trip up high? The cold wind, the wide views, the way the world went quiet? Tell it in your own words, and include the people who made the drive with you.
For over 700 years, Ancestral Pueblo people built communities on the mesas and in the cliffs of what is now Mesa Verde National Park, which today protects the heritage of 27 Pueblos and Tribes. Places like this show how much a home can say about the people who made it. What does your home say about you? Describe it room by room, with the stories each one holds. A kitchen, a porch or a window you love can say plenty.
Ask people here about their favorite time of year and you will hear strong opinions: powder days, spring wildflowers, long summer hikes, the first crisp morning of fall. Which one is yours, and why? Write about the traditions that come with it, the people who join you and the moments that made you love living here. Your answers will help someone years from now see Colorado through your eyes. No two answers will be alike.
