I only know what I hear n the news that the state is being overrun by tree hugging anti-gun hippies. is this true?
Almost every State seems to be overrun with them, especially toward election times. They call them "campaign workers" and they get here just in time to establish residency. (No documentation, just anecdotal, but consistent observations by yours truly.)
But Colorado is also known as the State which recalled two important members of the State Legislature for their anti-gun stances. (And darned near got a third booted out ignominiously by recall efforts. She resigned.)
FYI, The
"Front Range" refers generally to the spine of mountains and foothills which run more or less N-S through the center of the state. I am including a link to the weather map, which I hope generally shows the topography of the State. (If not, you can click around in it to get the topography as well as roads and rivers etc. to show up.)

For your convenience in discussion, I am also including a map of Colorado Counties.

Jefferson County is just west of Denver and includes both Plains and Mountain topology as well as some major routes to recreation areas such as skiing, hunting, etc. I-70, a major E-W national route, runs through it.
In addition, it might be interesting to know that the new Sheriff of Jefferson County, Jeff Shrader, was elected at least partially on a pro-2A campaign stance.
Terry, 230RN
NOTE: I live right at the edge of the mountains in "Jeffco" and commuted to downtown Denver, eight or so miles away, every day. (If you want to know some slick routes around I-70 traffic, let me know. I'm an expert on that.) However, if your work will be at "The Denver Tech Center" or generally south of Denver, getting there from I-70 will be a bit of a bear.
