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.

The final is at N 40° 32.407 W 104° 54.470

Found it at 1157.
I'm just nibbling away at this series, one puzzle at a time (for a mystery-a-day challenge).
Traffic was light and no muggles were in view, so it only took me a minute or two to spot this one. I was thinking that this hide was atypical for this CO, and then I noticed that another recent finder had the same thought.

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 previous logs, Dud&Plato had a good idea about this cache. I managed to spot it since it was close to my eye level. It was in good condition.

Smile redemption! I didn't give this one much of a look last time I was here. Today, the traffic situation and light situation were much better. Still gave a few wrong places a look before coming up with it. Man, I felt a bit thick but yeah... should have found that last time. Oh well! Today was the day to turn the dnf into a smile, and that'll work fine for me. Cache and log are in great shape. TFTC|SL

Ultra-quick solve for this puzzle, but it took probably a year or more before I actually got out here with BugRanger to make the grab. I like the geo-art, but like the east-west roads a lot more than the busy north-south ones out here. Oh well, got it, and 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!

This cache was very clever. But there’s a dead owl here. Scared the crap out of me.
