 Colorado’s public lands mean business. Our natural resources drive a significant portion of our economy through tourism and outdoor related industries. Vast outdoor recreational opportunities bring new residents and contribute to a healthy workforce.

Tourism contributed more than $9.8 billion to Colorado’s economy in 2007.
Colorado is ranked ninth among states for outdoor vacations.
Active outdoor recreation generates $7 billion annually in retail sales.
