@Jennyrusallen Well, thank your Dad for me. I was in Sing Out Baltimore. We sang this as well as all the others.

Just as the (previous) writer said, I too left my dear Colorado nearly 30 yrs ago. We all have regrets. Leaving Colorado (Longmont) has to rank # 1 on my list of all time regrets. I often listen to this beautiful song that so accurately describes Colorado's beauty, wonders, & passions it's people hold for their state. I consider Colorado as being the greatest state in our nation; & I will always consider Colorado my home!

My Dad wrote this song, no kidding! David Allen is still doing well and can sing like no one I know!

My wife thinks I am corny for this song on my ipod but I love it as much as my state haha.

I remember this song circa 1973 on KHOW-AM. Do any of you remember KHOW's signature song from the weekends from this period that went, "Wonderful Weekend in the West from KHOW." ?

I remember Harry Smith playing it too.

I fell in love with this song about 20 years before moving to the Rocky Mountain State. I had in a cassette many years ago and took a train trip from Tennessee to California and went right through Denver and the mountains. I was playing the tape as we rolled through the canyons and made the decision that someday I would live here. I'M NOT A NATIVE - BUT GOT HERE AS FAST AS I COULD. And I will not leave this phenomenal place. Thank you so much for posting it!
