With its undulating landscape of mountains, forests, high plains, mesas, canyons, rivers and expansive deserts, Colorado has all the drama that keen adventurers might desire.

For a thriving metropolis, head to Denver, home to trendy neighbourhoods such as LoDo (Lower Downtown), RiNO (River North) and Cherry Creek.
