“The beautiful mountains.”
“Access to the outdoors.”
“The opportunities to go out onto the public land.”
Those are just a few of the answers we heard when we asked over 1,000 likely Colorado voters what they like about living in their state. If you’re familiar with Colorado, the Rocky Mountain West and its people, the answers to this question won’t surprise you. Coloradans love the outdoors. They love the mountains and the recreation opportunities being near open spaces and public lands provide.
