These Are The 11 Most Difficult Things For Out-Of-Towners To Adapt To In Colorado
Whenever you move to or visit a new place, it takes a little time to adapt – and Colorado is no exception. Are you a native and have no idea what I am talking about? Or maybe you are visiting for the first time and aren’t sure what to expect? Either way, here are the 11 most difficult things for out-of-towners to get used to here in Colorado:
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
90 degrees and burning up? It sounds like a great day for boating! Freezing cold and snow? Time to hit the slope, folks! No matter the weather, there is no excuse to not be outside enjoying our amazing state.
In the summertime, our favorite thing to do is hop on the Mousetrap and head to LoDo to watch the Rox play... any questions?

Yes, there is green chile both in my beer and on my pizza... what's your point?
*For the first 10 seconds, that is. Then you must stop and allow oncoming traffic to go.
Those of us from Colorado adapt to the higher elevation immediately because, well, we were born here and have never known differently. However, if you are visiting here from somewhere else, you may have a difficult time breathing, moving, and enjoying life… at least for a little while. Take it easy and give yourself some time to adapt.
Well, it is and it isn't. Technically, it is a grassland and was once a mining town, but now the area is considered more to be the town of Fairplay than the South Park that visitors might expect.
Is it well below freezing and blizzard conditions? This calls for some Bonnie Brae! I'll grab my flip-flops and we can walk there!
I'm not exaggerating... it literally NEVER ends and always seems to be in the exact same spot (where absolutely nothing gets accomplished).
