Colorado Front Range
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Colorado Front Range is a colloquial geographic term for the most populous region of the State of Colorado in the United States which are just east of the foothills of the Front Range, from which the region takes its name. The region contains the largest cities and the majority of the population of Colorado, aligned in a north-south configuration on the western edge of the Great Plains, where they meet the Rockies. Geologically, the region lies mostly within the Colorado Piedmont, in the valley of the South Platte and Arkansas rivers on the east side of the Rockies.
The Colorado Front Range communities include (in a roughly north-to-south order):
- Fort Collins
- Greeley
- Loveland
- Longmont
- Boulder
- Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area
- Castle Rock
- Colorado Springs
- Pueblo
The addition of the adjacent Wyoming community of Cheyenne to the Colorado Front Range forms the full Front Range Urban Corridor.
