Oh yeah, previous posters pointed out two really conspicuous that I missed... Southpark and Coors.
Everyone knows Coors, and that it's from Colorado. Southpark is still kind of a cult phenom, and a lot of viewers probably don't realize that it's a real place - in CO...
I'll revise my list again...
If you walked up to a random stranger in a far away state and asked 'what comes to mind when you think of Colorado?, then they would probably say...
1) The Colorado Rockies
2) Skiing - e.g. Vail, Aspen, Breck
3) Coors
4) It's a Mile-High
5) Rocky Mountain High (John Denver)

That's funny - I didn;t think of that... but you're right... That might ave to usurp 'Mile High' in my top 5.
I tried posting the question 'what's that pops into your head when you think of Colorado?'... It only lasted about 15 minutes before some smart-alecky mod moved it to the CO page at which point it seemed useless to ask that question to people who already live here. But I did get a couple responses...
One person said 'skiing'. The other, who was obviously tainted, said, 'brown rocks', 'the color brown', and 'Californians'. |

COLORADO is one of the four corner states, although the marker is 2.5 miles away from the actual site. |
