The word 'colorado' means 'colored' or 'colored red' in Spanish. The Colorado state was named after the Colorado River, which Spanish explorers named 'Río Colorado' (meaning 'colored river') for the red silt the river carried from the mountains

Colorado is the only U.S. state that lies entirely above 1000 meters elevation. Its lowest point, 3,317 feet (1,011 m) in elevation is the highest low elevation point of any state, and is higher than the highest elevation points of 18 states. Colorado contains 75% of the land area of the U.S. with an altitude over 10,000 feet

The United States federal government owns more than 1/3 of the land in Colorado.

The 13th step of the state capital building in Denver is exactly 1 mile high above sea level

I am placing some caches around that will be mostly P & G for everyone to enjoy.

Dud&Plato had shown me a few of the puzzles in the series that he couldn't figure out. After a bit of looking and thinking I managed to figure out the answers. He had already looked for and logged a bunch of them, but when we went out today he was nice enough to stop at all of the caches so I could sign the logs. It was a pretty nice day out, not too hot and not too cold. If I'd had more time I would have even consider walking the whole way around, but had other things I needed to do today. I had a lot of fun solving the puzzles and looking for the caches. Sad to say we did have one DNF, but we'll try looking again sometime to finish the geoart. TFTC|SL

If there is anything specific to share about any of the caches it will be noted after this point. Thanks to some special tools Dud&Plato had shown me I managed to find one that worked on this puzzle.

WHY did this puzzle give me so much trouble?! I have no idea. I guess in every series there needs to be a few that throw you. This one for some reason got me. I had to groan when I finally came across the solution... yup, should come across that one much much faster. Guess it was just too much pride on my end. Only two more puzzles to find and sign after this one! Exciting... Happy to report that this cache and log are in fine shape. TFTC|SL

I solved some of these so long ago that I don't remember how I did it. Oh well, I have the right answer and did it all myself, so I guess I figured it out. Today BugRanger and I came to collect the caches and found this one quite handily. (It looks as though there might have been two containers here at one time, but we stopped looking after one.) Anyway, TFTC!

Solved these before we came up so we knew where we were going. Glad to have another geo art! This one, most of the caches were easy but some weren't there so we replaced them. Don't know how long they have been missing, guess people are just logging finds because we didn't see any DNFs. We were thankful for the ones on the dirt roads or the few that had decent pull offs. Several times we walked a ways from safe parking but some were very scary to even walk to because of the busy roads. We managed to get this series pretty quickly then moved on to the next. Thanks for the art and pointing us in the right direction on some!
