Few states across America have the drive to get outdoors as Coloradans do, which is likely of little surprise to anyone who’s seen the natural wonders that dot the Centennial State, from the snow-crested mountains of the Rockies to the vibrant green forests that can be found from the Front Range westward towards the Great Basin.
It’s likely of little surprise then that a bevy of extreme outdoor sports, from skydiving to surfing and scuba diving, are among the many bucket list items that Colorado residents are searching online for the most.

Based on the digital tea leaves of the internet, it seems that many residents of the Centennial State are more than interested in jumping from an airplane or hanging 10 off the coasts of America in the near-distant future as part of their personal lists of things to do before they kick the bucket.
