7:12 PM LOCAL TIMESpanning roughly 20000 km² from Fort Collins to Pueblo, the Front Range of Colorado is the state’s most populous and rapidly-developing corridor. Centered around Denver and Colorado Springs, it offers a combination of urban amenities, outdoor recreation, and easy mountain access. Major highways (Interstates 25 and 70) dissect the region, connecting compact city cores to suburban neighborhoods and surrounding plains. Look for highlights like Roaring Fork and St. Vrain rivers, historic districts in Golden and Manitou Springs, and national landmarks such as Boulder Flatirons. The elevation rises from about 1600 m (5300 ft) in the plains to over 3700 m (12100 ft) near mountain towns, influencing climate and outdoor conditions. While popular destinations are within reach for day trips, the region also features diverse landscapes—including urban parks, river valleys, and foothill forests—that reward exploration beyond the highways.
