Contour Elevation Map of Colorado
Each contour in this Colorado topographic elevation map represents a change of 50 meters or approximately 164 feet.
Colorado is notable for its diverse geography, which includes high plains to the east, alpine mountains to the west, and deserts with massive sand dunes and deep canyons.
The drive from the east to Denver, either on Interstate 76 or 70, surrounds you with rolling, flat land leading up to a massive mountain range hovering over Denver.
Roughly 70% of Colorado’s population resides along this mountain range on the Eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains.
