Colorado is a state located in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States of America. It may also be considered as part of the Western and Southwestern regions. From west to east, the state is comprised of desert-like basins turning into plateaus, then alpine mountains, and then the grasslands of the Great Plains. Colorado has more than 50 mountain peaks. Native American tribes have played an influential role in the state’s settlement and culture.
