Do you have someone in your life who is constantly complaining about Colorado? Are they always making jokes about how everyone out here must be either a stoner, cowboy or hippie? If you have one of these Negative Nancy’s in your life, shut them up by telling them the following 17 things:
1. Colorado is home to the best of all worlds with the mountains...
2. ...gorgeous cities...
3. ...and enchanted Plains.
4. We have sunshine on a cloudy day.
In fact, we have an average of 300 days per year.
5. This:
6. Our state has a rich history that we can experience at anytime.
7. This is what our mornings...
8. ...and evenings look like.
Don't hate us just because you're jealous...
9. We have easy access to a "Rocky Mountain High."
Though if you prefer a different kind of high, you can purchase it legally.
10. We have this...
11. ...this....
12. ...and this right in our own backyard.
13. We can hold our liquor...
14. ...and have several amazing local libations to choose from.
15. Both Noodles & Company...
16. ...and Chipotle got their start in Colorado.
You're welcome, world.
17. Finally, we get to experience all four seasons (and they are all equally beautiful.)
Sometimes we even get to experience them all in one day!
