Going without amenities in this rugged wilderness is certainly no luxury adventure, but it is a great way to experience nature in its purest form.
The Centennial State is a camper’s paradise, too, with thousands of acres of open space that house free campgrounds in Colorado. It’s home to the majority of the Lower 48’s tallest mountains - 58 of them are over 14,000 feet tall! It also has one of America’s deepest canyons - Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and sand dune fields that wouldn’t look out of place in the Sahara at Great Sand Dunes National Park. If there is a state that has it all, it just might be Colorado.
