For decades, these iconic “Welcome to Colorful Colorado” signs have invigorated weary travelers with the knowledge that the mountains are close. The Colorado Department of Transportation has installed 41 signs welcoming people to this great state. But that’s not all of them… there’s one in the History Colorado Center in Denver as well, ending the official count at 42!
The next time you see one, grab a photo, follow us on Facebook and Instagram, and use the hashtags #outtherecolorado and #welcometocolorado
