Colorado Parks

The mountain State of Colorado is very beautiful and its nature is wonderful.
High mountains covered with snow, mountain passes, crystal clear lakes, waterfalls, groves of aspens...
Tourists hope to see it all.
We were already in the State of Colorado, visited to the mountains of San Juan and traveled along the mountain highway 550.
But now, we were going to see the parks of Colorado and to relax by the beautiful Maroon Lake.
We were going to compare the Independence Pass and the mountains of San Juan and understand what a difference between aspens and birches.

In the Colorado, there are many parks: it are parks, with the status of national and the state parks.
I will not name them, you can view a map...
We were going to visit the two parks, which are not very far from the city of Denver.
It were the Rifle Falls State Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park.
