Travelers and Tourism in Colorado

Colorado is a beautiful and historical state; the wide open plains, the glorious tall mountains, the history of its people that have shaped Colorado into what it is today. There is a lot to explore and learn when it comes to the Centennial State. Because of its history, Colorado is considered to be the meeting ground amongst three sections in the American West; the Atlantic Coast and Mississippi Valley, North and South, and Massachusetts and Virginia. These sections have shaped and developed the settlement and region in their own special ways.

This is Arizona, a state that is well known for its desert Basin and Range region. Its state nicknames are The Grand Canyon Region, The Copper State, The Valentine State, and The Apache State. These nicknames mean and were chosen because the Grand Canyon was located in Arizona, copper was in abundance, Arizona’s date of statehood was February 14(Valentine’s Day), 1912 and the Apache Indians inhabited Arizona at the time. These nicknames were chosen on 1959. Its state motto, “Ditat Deus”(God enriches), was chosen in 1863 because Arizona is abundant in many things. Arizona’s admission date was February 14, 1912 as the 48th state.

If you had the opportunity to get rich off of gold, would you? Would you be willing to leave everything you have behind to move thousands of miles across the country just for gold? In 1859, the answer for many people was yes. Word of gold found throughout Colorado spread across the country and launched the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush or also known as the Colorado Gold Rush. There are several significant events in Colorado history that have had an influential impact on the state we know today. The Colorado Gold Rush, in 1859, was the most significant event in Colorado History for several reasons: the rush attracted thousands of people to our state, initiated the mining of other resources, succored farming and ranching throughout the state, and boosted the economy of the towns here in Colorado; these benefits of the rush continue to play a role in our state still today.

Hawaii and Wyoming are two states often visited because of the variety of activities they offer. Even though both states appear different, they actually do have similarities. Hawaii is a tropical island with a moderately warm climate year round. Because of its climate, visitors generally enjoy outside activities. Wyoming is a landlocked state that usually has cooler climate. However, in the summer, it can rival Hawaii for heat. In Wyoming people spend a great deal of time driving around, taking pictures and exploring new “bucket list” places. Also, activities such as hiking, wagon riding, and cookouts allow people to be outside during their visit. [Thesis]: Although both Hawaii and Wyoming have similarities such as amazing

If you had the opportunity to get rich from gold, would you? Would you be willing to leave everything you have behind to move thousands of miles across the country just for gold? In 1859, the answer for many people was yes. Word of gold found throughout Colorado spread across the country and launched the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush or today known as the Colorado Gold Rush. There are several significant events in Colorado history that have had a huge impact on the state we know today. The Colorado Gold Rush, in 1859, was the most significant event in Colorado History for several reasons; the rush attracted thousands of people to our state, initiated the mining of other resources, succored farming and ranching throughout the state and helped to boost the economy of the towns here in Colorado. The gold rush had a massive impact on several aspects of Colorado during the time and these aspects continue to be apart of Colorado still today.

The Colorado Gold Rush is one of the Gold Rushes that does not get that many attention when it comes time to talk about our nation history. Sure they talk about the Gold Rush that happened in 1848 which was the California Gold Rush. The Colorado Gold Rush didn't happen 11 years after the gold was founded in eastern part of the Rocky Mountains in Cripple Creek. When the San Francisco Gold Rush was happening it made people wanted to come to the West for a bite of that Gold but ones people got here in Colorado people had one thing on their way which was the Rocky Mountains. There was no way around the Rocky Mountains at that time it was hard because people would have wagons with all their stuff most people would leave someone of their belongings behind so they could go through easer just reach the Gold Rush in San Francisco

I think people at that time had already known that there was a various significant economy in California before it became a state. Then, people discovered to seek the gold all around the California area. “California was still the property in Mexico that would change things…Americans to the west had the discovery been three years later…”

The State of Colorado achieved its statehood in 1876. In its beginning, it was predominantly a mining and agriculture state. People came from all over the world to settle in the state, the most popular settlements were in Denver all the way south to Colorado Springs. General William Jackson Palmer, a member of the City’s museum commission, founded the city of Colorado Springs in 1871. During the westward expansion, pioneers in their covered wagons moved to the region in search for gold, good health, and prosperity in the mineral rich Rocky Mountains. They settled and built farms, ranches, and small businesses. One of those Pioneers was Thomas Maclaren, a prolific designer, whose work will become extremely popular in the Colorado Springs, Downtown

Colorado has a very rich history that often gets overlooked due to other big states that generally take up most of the headlines; however, that does not mean that there has not been big movements and big names to come through the Centennial State. Colorado has had many attractions, such as open land, beautiful landscapes, mining, and the hot springs to name a few. The ladder in that group of attractions brought to Colorado a man that was known in the west, and would forever be remember and one of the most famous gunman, Doc Holliday. Doc Holliday had a short, but eventful life and making his way towards Colorado at the end was what he had hope would save his life.

The first Northern American European explorers came from Spain. During these first travels Colorado wasn’t in anyone’s sights. They saw it as a remote area on the outskirts of the areas that they wanted to colonize. They went all around Colorado, forming New Mexico, fighting the Natives as they went. From New Mexico the explorers started to enter Southern Colorado.

The Colorado Mountains have been home to many strong females throughout history. Worthy of mention are a handful of women who came to the high country for very different reasons, but fell in love with the majestic beauty of the state, making it their permanent home and leaving an indelible mark on the tapestry of its narrative.

This new century was taking place around the state after the first automobile in Vermont had been brought in by the Addison Country Agricultural Fair, where new inventions were frequently introduced for the first time. “By 1906, Vermont had 860 cars registered,”5 and in the 1920’s post-war, the number of registered automobiles went from 30,000 to 90,000 by 1929. The introduction of the automobile sparked the establishment of the Commissioner of Highways to oversee Vermont’s 13,000 miles of road and the Motor Vehicle Department in

California, a state loved for its fabulous warm weather and vast doors of opportunities. The state captivates people by its beauty, but also the chance to a prosperous future. A quality of lifestyle CA promises, its vast landscapes, a place where big industries have grown, and Hollywood where the brightest stars shine. These are a few points that make California great.

Here is where the paradox of growth comes into play on his writing. This has led to many problems over CA long course of history.

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda.
