Colography: The Nitty-Gritty Colorado
Properly defined, “geography” means the “documentation of Earth.” Extending this concept gives us “colography,” the “documentation of Colorado.” Our state sprawls across three great geologic regions blending characters from each. So how many mountain ranges do we have? How many parks do we have, and what is a “park,” anyway? Where are these landscape features and how did they get there? How many cactuses and orchids, owls and hummingbirds — how much life — garnish the landscapes with distinctive lifescapes? “Colography: The Nitty-Gritty Colorado” examines physical and biotic details of the state we call home, all done with a mind for experiencing it.
May 7: Landscapes and Waterscapes
Though defined as a single place, Colorado sprawls across three landforms and textures them with hills and mountains, canyons and valleys. Water standing as lakes and reservoirs or flowing as creeks and rivers accents the land. Landscapes and waterscapes make Colorado more than just one place.
