Colorado

Colorado became the 38th US state on August 1, 1876. This country is a vast territory with the numerous natural wonders of the Rocky Mountains as well as unique Anasazi dwellings in Mesa Verde. I have chosen this American country, because there is the beautiful nature which is connected with the great cities. The capital is Denver. There is the largest airport in U.S., which covers 88 square km. Denver is nicknamed the “Mile High Manhattan”. The downtown has a lot to offer. The main street, the 16th Street Mall, provides great opportunities for shopping and it is the heart of Denver’s business, culture and so on. The Denver Art Museum owns 30000 art objects, which including the world’s collection of Native American artwork. The historic museum tells story about miners, who have looked for gold or silver, about cowboys and Indians, who have lived there many year ago. No far from museums is the US Mint. There is The Rocky Mountains National Park in Colorado. The famous ski resort of Aspen is in the Rocky Mountains. Many celebrities spend their winter holidays in there. But Aspen is famous for one more thing – the largest silver nugget in North America was unearthed here. Its weight was 828 kilograms. This country conceals a lot of natural wonderments.
