Setting the Colorado Stage
Over the three billion or so years of geologic history, the land that is now Colorado has experienced tumultuous changes. Continents have drifted here and there, mountains have risen and eroded away, great seas have covered the land, then drained away. Here is the short, short story of how the present landscape emerged.
