All about Colorado

Colorado is considered one of the natural wonders of the world. Therefore, tourists from all over the globe tend to come here.

The state of Colorado is located in the West Central part of the United States. Colorado (Spanish for “red”) owes its name to the beautiful mountain landscape. Founded on August 1, 1876, exactly 100 years after the formation of the United States, Colorado became the 38th state of America. Because of this fact, one of the Mountain States of America is also called the “State of the century” (Centennial State). Colorado borders seven other States: Wyoming and Nebraska (to the North), Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona (to the South), Utah (to the West), and Kansas (to the East).

The Colorado state flag, adopted in 1911, is a rectangle with blue and white stripes that symbolize the state’s skies and snow. The red letter “C” stands for the state name “Colorado”. Inside the letter “C” is a Golden ball, which symbolizes the gold mines of the state. The coat of arms of the state has a circular shape. It depicts an all-Seeing Eye, enclosed in a triangle, symbolizing the Trinity. Also on the coat of arms depicts the mountains of Colorado, earth, and pickaxe, which symbolize the mining industry. Below flaunts the motto of the state – “Nil sine numine”, which translated from Latin means “Nothing without Providence.” The coat of arms was officially adopted in 1877.

Geography

The geography of Colorado is distinguished by its diversity. High mountains, arid plains, huge sand dunes, deep canyons, sandstone, granite, rivers, lakes and dense forests – in this state mixed all the colors known to nature. Therefore, Colorado is called a “multicolored” state. The boundaries of Colorado are initially defined along the latitude and longitude lines and form a quadrilateral that is located from 37 ° to 41 ° North latitude and from 102 ° 03′ to 109 ° 03′ West longitude. Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah are three States that have boundaries defined solely by latitude and longitude lines.

Climate

Since Colorado is one of the Mountainous States, the climatic conditions are quite difficult. Southern Colorado isn’t always warmer than northern Colorado. Most of the state is covered by mountains, foothills, and high plains. Mountains greatly affect the local climate. As a rule, with increasing height, the temperature decreases, and the humidity increases. In the East, the climate is temperate continental: low humidity, moderate precipitation (380-630 mm per year). It is marked by one of the highest average daily temperatures in the United States. In summer the temperature rises to 35 °C (average) and in winter it can drop to -18 °C. The climate of Western Colorado is more uniform. Here there are arid places on the hills of the mountain climate. The hottest month is July (21 °C). Winter here is very wet, which is the opposite of the Eastern part of the state.
