15 Ways Colorado Is America’s Black Sheep… And We Love It That Way

Have you ever looked around and thought, “Man, Colorado sure is different…”? Now, obviously Colorado is different, but not in a bad way! After all, not only is our landscape just about as diverse as it gets (with its mountains, cities, and plains), but it is also different and — dare I say — black sheepish for these 15 other reasons:

3. Contrary to what YouTube implies, we prefer dogs over cats.

6. We have so many rocks, in fact, that we go to concerts within those rocks.

7. We like to fry up and eat cow you-know-whats.

8. We redefined the definition of a "Rocky Mountain High"...

9. ...and in turn started a national trend.

11. It is 100% normal to have a blinding blizzard in the morning...

12. ...and a warm and sunshiny afternoon.

13. We like to smother our burritos, ice cream, and waffles in homemade green chile.

14. We will subject ourselves to food poisoning in exchange for an epic cliff-diving show.

15. Finally, we CHOOSE to spend every minute we can in the great outdoors!
