From gold mines to diamonds to the vast beauty of the Rockies, Colorado has its share of treasures to be proud of. In addition to the state’s natural treasures, it also has a rich history of outlaws and Indian raids that led to buried gold — much of which has never been found.

Perhaps you can solve a mystery and become the finder of lost treasures!
