Northeast Colorado Travel & Tourism

Welcome to Northeast Colorado, Colorado

Northeast Colorado stands in stark contrast to the rest of the state. Instead of mountains, the area is graced with open grasslands and seas of golden wheat dotted with historic buildings that recall the days of gold rush homesteads. Proud of its history, the region offers an array of summer festivities that range from gunfight re-enactments and antique carriage parades to heritage festivals and old-time celebrations. Visitors flock to Brush each July for The Brush Rodeo—the largest professional rodeo in Colorado—which features events for the whole family, including a parade, a pancake breakfast, an art show and a fireworks display. The World's Wonder View Tower in Genoa is one of northeast Colorado's most popular attractions, rewarding visitors that climb the tower's narrow, winding staircase with a view of six states. Burlington is home to one of the country's oldest carousels, the 1905 Kit Carson County Carousel, which is still fully operational, offering daily rides.
