If I say the word 'Colorado' to you, what's the first thing you think of? For me, as a person who's never actually lived there, I automatically think of outdoor recreation. Now, I realize that my experiences are my own, but so far, I have yet to meet a person who tells me they're from Colorado who doesn't love to get outside and do at least one (probably more) type of outdoor recreational activity.
It seems to be a major draw for the state, you know? And for good reason; there's a lot of natural beauty to take in. It's also totally unsurprising that it's a state where, if you go to Colorado Parks and Wildlife to obtain your outdoor recreational licenses for your favorite activities, there's a small surcharge added on to support the Colorado Backcountry Search and Rescue Program (BSAR).
Why do I call it "a small surcharge?" Because that's exactly what it is.
