Hiking is one of the best ways to experience Colorado's varied terrain—thanks to the more than 39,000 miles of trails of varying lengths, difficulty levels, and scenery spread across the state. The diverse landscape ranges from arid deserts, snow covered Rocky Mountains, sanddunes, and river canyons. Colorado is home to 42 state parks, 13 national parks and monuments, 13 national forests and grasslands, and 58 14ers (peaks that rise more than 14,000 feet above sea level).
