Tomorrow, August 1, 2026 is the 150th Anniversary of Colorado’s statehood. Known as the Centennial State, Colorado became a state the same year the U.S.A. turned one hundred. With the U.S.A. now turning 250 this year, Colorado is observing our sesquicentennial.
Come visit - We’re Ski Country USA in the winter and spring, but fabulous in summer and fall, too. Plains in the east, mountains down the middle, and mesas in the very west.
Our local park will display 250 US flags and 150 Colorado flags to,orrow. Too bad the Colorado flag is so bland,
Come visit...
We are, Cyn! Will be spending a night in Manitou Springs, another in Salida, and 2 nights in Durango this fall. Just part of a 3-week road trip across parts of the West.
I knew Colorado when she was only 115.
Happy birthday, Colorado !
I've actually been to both Manitiou Springs and Durango as part of a specialist organised rail tour, where we were using a half full motor coach (RS style) to fill in the gaps, probably also RS style in the choice of our hotels!
isn31c, we've stopped briefly in Durango twice en route to Mesa Verde but haven't yet given it quality time so that will be a new experience. We've also been very close to Manitou Springs, when going thru Garden of The Gods some years ago, but it will be the first time to hang a hat. Looking forward to both!
