Sometimes you have to sit back and be thankful for everything Colorado has to offer. Lucky for us, we live in arguably one of the most beautiful states in the country.

1. Skiing

This is probably what most people think of when they think of Colorado. Growing up in Colorado, I feel as though I have always taken it for granted. Some people’s dream is to get to Colorado and I’ve been skiing here since I could remember. For that, we should give Colorado thanks! [gallery ids="2247,2253,2255"]

2. The Weather

You could be in your North Face winter jacket in the morning with 3 inches of snow on the ground, and then three hours later you could be sweating out in the hot sun. We have some of the best weather around because we are still lucky enough to get a taste of each season, but never too much to where it’s overwhelming. [gallery ids="2244,2246,2251"]

3. Craft Beer

We are home to Coors, making us an already enthusiastic beer-loving state. However, the recent trend of craft breweries have hit an all time high. Indulge in some of the most unique tasting beers, while getting the pleasure of bringing your furry friend along. Cheers and give some Colorado thanks! [gallery ids="2248,2250,2249"]

4. The Broncos

As if this wasn’t obvious enough, we should be thankful for our super bowl champs! Also for the orange and blue. [gallery ids="2264,2257,2256"]

5.Red Rocks Amphitheater

When my cousins were visiting, I brought them to Red Rocks, and their jaw just about hit the floor. They couldn’t believe their eyes, nor could they believe that we actually hold concerts here. We as Coloradans should definitely be thankful for this!

We are pretty dang lucky, don’t you think? Keep in mind your beautiful state and next time you're enjoying nature, give some Colorado thanks!
