When you hail from the Centennial State, there are certain things that you were either taught or have grown to love! Not sure if you are a TRUE Coloradan? Check out our list of these 11 things that everyone in Colorado absolutely loves:
1. Green chile.
Look, until you've tried it, smothering your birthday cake in a creamy green chile with pork may *seem* weird, but this stuff is really that good!
2. Beer.
Unlike those in many other places, Coloradans do not usually drink to get drunk. Why? We just have so many amazing microbreweries that we have learned to enjoy our meals with various beer pairings and we love to savor every sip!
3. Subarus.
Four-wheel drive? Check. Excellent gas milage? Check. Sleek and sporty design? Double check. (Need we say more? This car was practically built with Colorado in mind.)
4. Being outside 24/7.
I mean, when your backyard looks like this and there is SO much to see and do around our beautiful state, can you really blame us?
5. Biking.
See: Being outside 24/7. Also, biking keeps the air cleaner, gets us places quickly, and keeps us in tip-top shape! Whether cycling around town or hitting one of incredible mountain bike trails, it's hard not to love two-wheeled transport.
6. The Broncos.
If you have a friend who is a native Coloradan and DOESN'T cheer for the Broncos, un-friend them now... you do not need that kind of negative influence in your life.
7. The Californians.
Just kidding... I just wanted to make sure you are paying attention! Most Coloradans find Californians pretty obnoxious.
8. There is always something to do!
Whether you are looking for a festival, want to see a Broadway musical, or are hungry for a fantastic dining experience, you are guaranteed to find something new to do almost every day.
9. Our wide variety of attractions.
Do you love a good desert setting? Then you are going to go bonkers for the Great Sand Dunes! Is a swanky city more your style? Say hello to Denver, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins! Wine and plateaus? Then the Western Slope is for you!
10. The weather.
While the whole "300 days of sunshine each year" thing may be a bit of an exaggeration, we still have some of the best sun and temperatures in the entire U.S. of A.
11. Our awesome fellow Coloradans.
Last but certainly not least, we love our cool and quirky neighbors who wear their flip-flops in the snow, are extremely laid back, yet still want to go on as many adventures as possible!
Be honest: how many of these things do you absolutely love?! Are there others that you would add to this list? Let us know in the comments!
