Gondolas provide a quick and convenient way to access hard-to-reach spots, including the tops of ski slopes and scenic peaks in Colorado. Whether it's giving a lift to skiers, snowboarders, bikers, hikers, or sightseers, this functional mode of transportation can be used throughout the entire year. Right now, there are 22 gondolas in the Centennial State - with one more currently in the works. Once it's finished, Colorado's brand new gondola will be the first of its kind in the country.

Recently, more than 150 employees from Breckenridge Ski Resort met up for the annual mountain clean-up event.

From the tiniest feathered fledglings to the unique raptors and waterfowl, Colorado is home to more than 400 different species of birds. Some of these species are more commonly seen than others, so it can be extra exciting when an uncommon bird is spotted somewhere in the state. Recently, several people in Douglas County, Colorado have reported sightings of an incredibly rare and state-endangered bird, prompting wildlife officials to get involved.

Colorado has undergone dramatic transformations throughout time, especially compared to how it looked hundreds of millions of years ago, long before becoming a state. While the appearance of Colorado has changed significantly, pieces of the past remain in existence and remind us of what once was. For example, amazing evidence of life from over 105 million years ago is displayed on the west side of the Dakota Hogback, in Morrison, Colorado.
