Let's Go

Hey there, fellow thrill-seekers! I've recently discovered this fantastic little gadget called the myColorado app and, let me tell you, it's like having a genie in your pocket that grants all your state service wishes. A round of applause for the State of Colorado for developing such a digital superstar!

Imagine this: I'm all geared up for an unforgettable hiking adventure to the Beaver Creek Wilderness area (which, by the way, is a mesmerizing mosaic of verdant forests, shimmering streams, and craggy peaks in Colorado - an absolute haven for us nature enthusiasts!). And what did I need? A fishing license. But thanks to myColorado, snagging one was as simple as ABC! A few online clicks and voila, my license was linked to the app. No more hair-pulling over misplaced papers!

And here's the cherry on top - the app lets you create a digital ID. Yes indeed, my driver's license has now found a cozy home on my phone. How cool is that? Of course, I'll still keep my physical one handy because, well, some habits are hard to kick.

But hold onto your hats, folks! This app's like a digital locker for your vehicle documents. Titles, insurance, registrations - they're all snugly tucked away in the app. Talk about a worry-free slumber!

And if you thought that was all, brace yourself for a surprise. The myColorado app even links to the Colorado PEAK website, allowing me to manage medical, food, and cash assistance benefits without ever setting foot in a county office. Convenience level: stratospheric!

Shifting gears to the User Interface (UI), it's as smooth as silk. Clean, contemporary design, clearly marked sections - navigating through it is a cinch. As a rookie, I'd award the UI a sparkling gold medal with an 8.5/10.

In short, the myColorado app is your faithful digital companion for accessing state services. Even though I'm still a newbie, I can already vouch for its convenience, security, and efficiency. If you're a Colorado resident who loves the great outdoors (and really, who doesn't?), this app should be your new BFF. Happy adventuring!


Now, let's shift gears and venture into the Beaver Creek State Wildlife Area in Southern Colorado. This place is an unspoiled jewel that's absolutely brimming with Mother Nature's finest masterpieces.

Visualize this: a vast landscape stretching along Beaver Creek, originating at the Skaguay Reservoir and meandering its way through rugged canyons and lush forests. The area is a sanctuary for wildlife, so keep those peepers open for deer, elk, and maybe even a bobcat if you're fortunate!

But it's not just about sightseeing. Heck no! This place is a playground for outdoor junkies. With ample fishing spots in the creek and the reservoir, anglers can have a whale of a time here. And let's not forget about the hunting opportunities - this area is renowned for its game.

For the hiking aficionados among us, the Beaver Creek SWA Loop is a must-see.


It's a trek through a 40,000-acre roadless chunk of land on the rugged south-slope of Pikes Peak. And believe me when I say, the vistas are jaw-dropping.

Nestled between Penrose and Colorado Springs, the Beaver Creek State Wildlife Area is a picturesque destination that offers a slice of wilderness in the midst of the hustle and bustle of modern life. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or a peace-seeker, this place has got you sorted.
