Sometimes it's a little crowded around here

But it's OK, it keeps the economy humming and allows folks to explore all four corners of my state. Whether it's a more liberal city or a more conservative rural area, there are great things to do and nice people to visit wherever your travels may take you.

Tourism is the economic backbone of the Southwest/Four Corners part of the state.  It helps supplement the agricultural base of many Western Slope counties.  After the shale bust on Black Sunday 1982, the area has made a huge effort to transform and expand the economy to not rely upon only one industry.  That's where travel and tourism fits.   Everyone is welcome to leave their money in the state.

Awesome, enjoy your trip.  Maybe you can even take in a ball game if the Rockies are in town.

If you find that you're heading to Black Hawck/Central City, let me know I may be able to point you to some good promos.

It's a beautiful state, I lived out there and worked at Keystone right out of high school for a bit. Sometimes I wish I would have stayed but wouldn't have met my wonderful wife if I did I guess.
