Colorado ni boma la nambara 8 pa vyaru ivyo vili na ŵanthu ŵanandi chomene mu U.S. ndipo ni la nambara 21 pa vyaru ivyo vili na ŵanthu ŵanandi chomene. Ofesi ya United States Census Bureau yikati ŵanthu awo ŵakukhala ku Colorado ŵalipo 5,839,926 pa Julayi 1, 2022, ndipo ichi ntchiŵelengero cha 1.15% kufuma pa census ya ku United States ya 2020.

Ŵanthu ŵa ku America na ŵasekuru ŵawo ŵakukhala mu caru ici kwa vilimika pafupifupi 13,500 panji kujumpha apa. Kufumira kumafumiro gha dazi kwa mapiri gha Rocky kukaŵa nthowa yikuru iyo ŵanthu ŵakendangamo para ŵakusamira ku vyaru vinyake vya ku America. Mu 1848, boma la United States likazomerezga kuti chigaŵa ichi chiŵe cha charu cha Spain. Mu 1858 na 1862, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakaluta ku malo agha chifukwa cha kupenja golide. Pa Febuluwale 28, 1861, boma la U.S. Pulezidenti James Buchanan wakasainira dango lakuti boma la Colorado liŵe lakwamba, ndipo pa Ogasiti 1, 1876, Pulezidenti Ulysses S.

Malo ghatali gha ku Colorado ghangaŵa kuti ghakukhala ku cigaŵa ca ku America.

Denver ni msumba ukuru wa boma ili, ndipo ni msumba uwo uli na ŵanthu ŵanandi chomene. Colorado Springs ni msumba wachiŵiri uwo uli na ŵanthu ŵanandi comene mu caru ici. Ŵanthu ŵa mu boma ili ŵakucemeka kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Colorado, nangauli nyengo zinyake ŵakucemeka kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Colorado. Vinyake mwa vinthu ivyo vikupangiska kuti caru ciŵe cakukhora ni vya boma na vya nkhondo, migodi, ulimi, vyamwendakwenda, na vinyake ivyo vikupangiska kuti vinthu visinthe.

Mu chigaŵa ichi muli malo ghanandi agho ŵanthu ŵakagwiranga nchito ya kujimya golide na siliva. Phiri la Elbert ndilo ndilokuru comene pa Mapiri gha Rocky. Mapiri 30 ghatali chomene gha Rocky Mountains gha ku North America ghali mu chigaŵa ichi.

Phiri la Elbert lili pa mtunda wa mamita 4,401.2 ndipo ni malo ghapachanya chomene ku Colorado na mu mapiri gha Rocky ku North America. Colorado ni boma la ku U.S. ilo lili pachanya pa mtunda wa mamita 1,000. Ku malo uko mlonga wa Arikaree ukuthira kufuma ku Yuma County, ku Colorado, na kunjira mu Cheyenne County, ku Kansas, ndiko kuli malo ghambura kuzingilizgika mu Colorado. Malo agha ghakaŵa ghatali chomene kuluska malo ghanyake ghose mu United States, ndipo ghakaŵa ghatali chomene kuluska malo ghanyake ghose mu vyaru 18 na mu chigaŵa cha Columbia.

Continental Divide

Mphepete mwa mapiri gha Rocky Mountains, kuli malo agho ghakupambana mu vyaru vya ku America. Malo gha ku Colorado agho ghali kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Continental Divide ghakucemeka Western Slope of Colorado. Kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Continental Divide, maji ghakukhira kumwera kwakumanjiliro gha dazi kwizira mu Mlonga wa Colorado na Mlonga wa Green mu Gulf of California.

Mu mapiri gha Rocky muli mapaki ghakurughakuru agho ghali na madambo ghatali. Kumpoto, kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Continental Divide, kuli malo ghakucemeka North Park of Colorado. Mlonga wa North Platte ndiwo ukwenda mu North Park, ndipo ukwenda kumpoto m'paka ku Wyoming na Nebraska. Kumwera kwa North Park, kweni kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Continental Divide, kuli Middle Park of Colorado, iyo yikuthika na Mlonga wa Colorado. Ku South Park ku Colorado ndiko kuli maji gha mu Mlonga wa South Platte.

South Central region

Mu chigaŵa cha pakati cha kumwera kwa Colorado, muli Dambo la San Luis, uko kuli maji gha mu Mlonga wa Rio Grande. Chigaŵa chakumpoto cha dambo ili ni San Luis Closed Basin, ndipo ni malo agho ghakawovwira kupanga Great Sand Dunes. Chigodobu chili pakati pa mapiri gha Sangre De Cristo na San Juan. Mlonga wa Rio Grande ukwenda kumwera m'paka ku New Mexico, Texas, na Mexico. Kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa San Luis Valley kuli kaphiri ka Wet Mountain Valley. Vigaŵa ivi, comenecomene mu San Luis Valley, vili mu mphepete mwa Rio Grande Rift, malo ghakuru gha Rocky Mountains, na minthavi yake.

Western Slope

Chigaŵa cha Western Slope cha Colorado chikupanga chigaŵa chakumadzulo kwa mapiri gha Rocky Mountains na chigaŵa chose icho chili ku mphaka ya kumanjiliro gha dazi. Mu cigaŵa ici muli malo ghakupambanapambana kweniso nyengo zakupambanapambana, kwambira ku mapiri mpaka ku mapopa. Ku Western Slope kuli matawuni ghanandi agho ghali ku Rocky Mountains na matawuni ghanyake agho ghali kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Utah. Cirwa ici cili na ŵanthu ŵacoko comene kuluska cigaŵa ca Front Range, kweni cili na malo ghanandi ghakusungirako vinyama.

Kumpoto kwakumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Colorado kuli ŵanthu ŵachoko waka, ndipo kuli malo ghanyake agho ghakuchemeka kuti Dinosaur National Monument. Malo agha ngakumanyikwa chomene chifukwa cha malo agho ŵanthu ŵakusambira vyamoyo vyakale ŵakukhalamo, kweniso ni malo ghakutowa agho ghali na mapiri gha majalawe, makululu, mapopa ghambura maji, na milonga. Pa malo agha, mlonga wa Green River ukunjira mu Colorado.

Mlonga wa Colorado na milonga yake yikwenda mu chigaŵa cha Western Slope (Kanandi ni Gunnison River, Green River, na San Juan River). Mlonga wa Colorado ukusolota mu Glenwood Canyon, ndipo kufuma apo ukujumpha mu chigodobu cha mapopa kufuma ku Rifle mpaka ku Parachute, ukujumpha mu chigodobu cha De Beque Canyon, na kunjira mu mapopa gha Grand Valley, uko kuli msumba wa Grand Junction.

Cinyake ico cikumanyikwa comene ni Grand Mesa, ico cili kumwera ca kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Grand Junction; mapiri ghatali gha San Juan, agho ghali na mapiri ghatali; ndipo kumpoto na kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa mapiri gha San Juan, ni Colorado Plateau.

Grand Junction, Colorado, ni tawuni yikuru comene ya Western Slope. Grand Junction na Durango ni malo ghekha ghakupharazgira pa wayilesi kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Continental Divide mu Colorado, nangauli malo ghanandi gha mapiri ghakupharazga nyuzipepara zuŵa lililose. Grand Junction yili pa mphambano ya Interstate 70 na US 50, nthowa zikuruzikuru mu Colorado. Grand Junction yili pafupi na njanji yikuru ya Western Slope, ya Union Pacific. Kweniso njanji iyi yikovwira kuti sitima ya Amtrak yakuchemeka California Zephyr yende mu mapiri gha Rocky.

Ku chigaŵa cha Western Slope kuli malo ghanandi ghakukondweska mu Colorado Rocky Mountains, kusazgapo Glenwood Springs, na malo ghakupumulirapo, na malo ghakukondwelera kuskera gha Aspen, Breckenridge, Vail, Crested Butte, Steamboat Springs, na Telluride.

Masambiro ghapachanya ghakusangika ku Colorado Mesa University ku Grand Junction, Western Colorado University ku Gunnison, Fort Lewis College ku Durango, na Colorado Mountain College ku Glenwood Springs na Steamboat Springs.

Chikumbusko cha Four Corners icho chili kumwera chakumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Colorado chikulongora mphaka iyo yili pakati pa Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, na Utah.

Nyengo
Nyengo ya ku Colorado njakusuzga comene kuluska ku vigaŵa vinyake vya ku America. Mwakupambana na vigaŵa vinyake, kumwera kwa Colorado nyengo zose kukuzizima yayi kuluska kumpoto. Cigaŵa cikuru ca Colorado cili na mapiri, tumapiri, madambo, na mapopa. Mapiri na madambo ghakuzingilizga malo agha ghakupangiska kuti nyengo yiŵe yiwemi panji yiheni. Kumpoto, kumafumiro gha dazi, na kumwera kwa Colorado ni malo gha mapiri, ndipo kumpoto kwa Colorado kuli mapiri na mapiri. Kumpoto na kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Colorado kuli mapiri, ndipo malo ghanyake ni mapopa. Kumwera kwakumanjiliro gha dazi na kumwera kwa Colorado ni malo gha mapopa na mapiri.
