MAIN Arrow to Travel Travel Arrow to North America North America Arrow to North America USA Arrow to Colorado Tourist Attractions Colorado

colorado mapThe earliest settlers in the area we know as Colorado were the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, Kiowa, and the Pawnee Indian tribes. The area later came under the influence of Spain when 16th century explorers discovered the territory which was formally claimed by Spain in 1706.

The U.S.A. acquired the area piecemeal – the eastern part of the Colorado Territory was obtained with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. The rest was not added until the middle of the 19th century at the end of the Mexican-American War.

Along with its rich and varied history, Colorado boasts some of the most breathtaking scenery on the planet – attracting skiers, mountain climbers, back packers and adventure travelers hoping to experience their own "Rocky Mountain high" at such natural wonders in Colorado Springs, Aspen & Denver. In 2008, also watch for the inaugural Mile High Music Festival in Deniver.

Adding to the natural beauty of the Rockies, additional Colorado tourist attractions include natural hot springs, Mesa Verde National Park, and Dinosaur National Monument.
