Rocky Mountain National Park especially is such a cathedral to nature that I had to move to within daytrip distance. I've had morning coffee and/or psilocybin at all of these Glacier Gorge lakes surrounded by animals and wildflowers. While I have yet to go elsewhere in the state, the front range has some magical places.
Go to Crestone if you do. Its the closest city to the dunes and very nice to visit. Super small, but it has 2 of the biggest mountains in the country lurking above. Good luck w your travels!
my dream cross country trip is to go there just to hike. tired of my baby mountains and hills.

They have sand dunes you can hike too, the remnants of an ancient lake. Colorado has cool fucking geography.
never seen a sand dune outside of a beach. one day whenever i have actual $ and time I'm taking an RV out there to stay for a month

The ones in North Park by Walden have shark teeth in them. Pacific storms blow them all the way to the Rockies.
