Colorado is a state steeped in history and natural beauty, offering a wealth of outdoor opportunities for hunters and anglers. The state’s rugged mountains, rolling prairies, and pristine rivers and lakes make it a prime destination for those seeking adventure in the great outdoors. Colorado’s public lands cover nearly 40% of the state, providing access to some of the most pristine hunting and fishing locations in the country. From fly fishing on the Frying Pan River to chasing elk in the San Juan National Forest, there is truly an embarrassment of riches for sportsmen and women. In addition to its hunting and fishing opportunities, Colorado is known for its abundant winter sporting opportunities such as skiing and snowmobiling, and for its iconic natural landmarks, such as Rocky Mountain National Park and the Great Sand Dunes. These national treasures provide additional opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to explore and experience the beauty of the Centennial State.
