Three Denver-area coworkers have successfully visited all 64 Colorado counties within 64 consecutive hours. The journey was inspired by the Colorado Counties Colorado Passport Program, which celebrates the state's path to its 150th anniversary.
Why it matters
The achievement honors the upcoming 150th anniversary of Colorado statehood. By participating in this digital passport challenge, the adventurers highlighted the cultural and historical landmarks found across every corner of the state.
The participants visited 64 counties during their 64-hour excursion. One notable stop included the White River Museum in Meeker, which has stood since its construction in 1880.

Travel Outlook
This feat mirrors a growing trend of state-sponsored tourism challenges designed to boost local engagement ahead of significant anniversaries. It demonstrates how digital programs are successfully gamifying travel across diverse regions during shoulder seasons.
Travelers looking to participate in the program can track their own visits using the commission's digital tools. Planning a multi-county trip requires mapping routes carefully to account for the distances between remote historical sites.
The takeaway
Engaging with local passport programs offers a structured way to experience lesser-known historical sites across the state. Setting personal travel milestones can provide a deeper connection to regional history as Colorado approaches its sesquicentennial.
