Christy Articola has lived in Colorado since 2013 and considers herself a Centennial State enthusiast and expert through and through. She's based in Denver metro, but over the past decade, she has traveled to every corner, river, village, park, town, and city in the state and continues to explore it deeper and further whenever she can. Christy simply can't get enough of Colorado, and loves sharing all her adventures with you through Only In Your State! She graduated with a degree in journalism from Fordham University and is thrilled to be working as a full time travel writer for this and other sites - she finally found her perfect niche - and is so grateful for that.
There’s nothing better than being a Coloradan. Whether you were born here or are a transplant, all Coloradans carry immense pride about being lucky enough to live in this great state. There are so many obvious signs that Coloradans are Coloradans; there are things that we love that make us, us, and that make us unique. We are Colorado rooted; we are Colorado strong! Read on to get some warm fuzzies about all of it. And consider adding some Colorado pride regalia to your wardrobe – Wear Your Roots has tons of great Colorado gear so you can represent The Centennial State wherever you may roam!
Every Coloradan loves the mountains! Good thing we can see them from almost anywhere in the state - except from the far east. Whether you're in them or simply near them, they're spectacular.
The Western Slope of Colorado is a unique place; many visitors to our great state don't even realize the beauty of this part of Colorado - but we know.
Colorado also has fantastic cities. Denver has a bit of everything - music, food, sports, and world-class museums - and our other big cities - Boulder, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and others - aren't too shabby either.
In many parts of the nation and the world, people dread the beginning of winter and the snow that will soon follow. Not us! We know that winter means playtime, and most of us do all we can to get out in it - whenever we can.
Colorado is no one trick pony, though, either. The summer is equally incredible. Whether you're a hiker or someone who prefers to explore by motor vehicle, if you're a true Coloradan, you get out there in the summertime as much as you can too.
Stats that you'll find online will tell you that Colorado isn't even in the top ten for states with highest dog ownership per capita, but that doesn't feel true at all! Coloradans love dogs and they're everywhere. Whether you have one of your own or not, you're sure to see at least one or more dogs every day, and you should stop and pet as many of them as you can.
Most people think of Georgia when they think of peaches, but Coloradans think of Palisade. There's nothing sweeter than a palisade peach during peak peach season.
Coloradans love beer! There are over 400 craft breweries in our great state and that number is always growing. There's nothing like beer at the end of a long day - or anytime.
If you're a Coloradan, then you want everyone to know! Wearing gear like the clothing offered by Wear Your Roots is a great way to tell the world you hail from Colorado anywhere you go!
We are all SO lucky to live in Colorado! I can’t imagine living anywhere else. We truly have it all and best of all – we know it! Our state pride is strong as it should be. Congratulations to you on being a Coloradan.
