The Rocky Mountain State of Colorado has an abundance of mountains, desert mesas, lakes and rivers. Rocky Mountain and Mesa Verde National Parks are within the state and offer opportunities for outdoor activities such as telemark skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, rock climbing and bouldering, mountaineering, canyoneering and wildlife photography.

There are several highly ranked RV parks in the state to use as a base camp for an exploration into its wild backcountry.
