I have heard that Coloradoans are a breed of their own–yes, we are–but it’s not a bad thing! In fact, here are 12 reasons why people from Colorado are some of the best people you’ll ever meet:

1.) We’re extremely laid back and like to go with the flow.

2.) We know who our best friends are.

3.) We will happily introduce you to the finer things in life.

10.) We will never overstay our welcome.

11.) We’re S-M-A-R-T, SMART!

12.) Last but not least, we are fun…
