Everyone thinks that their home state is the best and that it is more special than the other 49, but can I let you in on a little secret? Colorado is truly the best and most unique state of them all! Surprised? I didn’t think you would be! However, if you need to prove to your out-of-state friends that Colorado truly is the most unique state of them all, present them with these 13 reasons why:
- For starters, only in Colorado can you find purple mountain majesties…

- …and even the desert!

- The Centennial State averages 300 sunny days per year.

- Speaking of the sun, Colorado sunrises are actually worth waking up for.

- Unlike other states, Coloradans don’t hate winter, as it is not only beautiful…

- …but FUN!

- (Psst… It isn’t only the winter we love, but every season!)
Flickr/Tyler Hitchcock Can you blame us? We have every possible outdoor activity at our fingertips!
- We voluntarily eat deep-fried-cow you-know whats.
Flickr/Matt Johnson Hey; don’t knock ’em until you try ’em.
- We don’t do domestic beer…
Flickr/Kevin Reese Can you blame us? At last count, we had nearly 350 craft breweries scattered throughout the state!
- …and we don’t have to buy our weed behind a bowling alley from a guy named Robbie.
Flickr/Dave O Fun fact: There are more marijuana dispensaries in Colorado than there are McDonalds and Starbucks COMBINED.
- Finally, our favorite place to see concerts is from atop some rocks.
