Colorado Caleidoscope

The perfect blend of outdoor adventure and urban sophistication. That’s the duality locals love about the Mile High City. With snowcapped peaks providing a spectacular backdrop, Denver is as refined as it is laid-back. It’s a place where aerospace engineers rub elbows with rock climbers at local brewpubs, at art festivals, or while strolling their favorite pedestrian mall. And with 300 days of sunshine per year, it’s easy to see why people fall in love with Denver and entire Colorado, the first time they visit.

I love Denver. I love Colorado.

The climate of Colorado is quite complex compared to most of the United States. The typical south-north/cooler-warmer variation in other states is not generally applicable in Colorado. Mountains and surrounding valleys greatly affect local climate. As a general rule, with an increase in elevation come a decrease in temperature and an increase in precipitation.

I have been fortunate enough to experience all sort of climate changes in Denver. Amusing it may sound, but the most heard statement for me, once here I was - "You cannot predict the weather in Colorado. It may be 70 degree hot the one day and very next day it might be chilling -17 degrees" :-)
Seeing is believing...and I believe it now .
I enjoyed the winters here...Aspen, Winter Park, Loveland, Boulder and where not.
Summers were fun...Durango, Mesa Verde, Ouray
Spring and Falls...Awesome Central City, Blackhawk, Grandlake and the Trail ridge on Magnificient Rockies.
I am loving living in this Mile High City of Denver, in the Colorful State of Colorado.
Life is Fun.
Adios...see u soon.
