Views from around the Centennial State
There's no need for a long diatribe about Colorado's beauty, 300+ sunny days, low humidity and all those other wonderful attributes that attract millions of visitors annually. Please enjoy these drone photos! - Don
Colorado weather
The nice thing is we actually get 300 sunny days in Colorado. However, the joke is that we get all four seasons here- sometimes in the same day. Photo at left shows rain coming toward Reuters-Hess Reservoir in Parker.
Photos of the Cripple Creek area
If you see burros wandering the street and approaching tourists for treats, the chances are you're in Cripple Creek, CO. Once a huge gold-mining area, Cripple Creek is currently famous as a gaming town that has a variety of events, festivals and attractions. One of them is a narrow-gauge railroad, which offers rides in open-air cars.
In the center of Victor is the charming Victor Hotel. It's iconic, old-fashioned lobby and elevators takes lodgers back to another era. (Yes, I've stayed there and it's cool!)
Just up the hill from the main street in Cripple Creek is the famous Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine. Visitors can descend 1,000 feet below the surface and experience the mining experience.

City Hall
As you enter the town, the city hall is before your eyes. It is a wonderful example of how drone photos can really show off classic architecture that resonates beauty from another era.
