Colorado’s high, dry, cloudless climate allows outdoor sleeping half the year.

Evidence

People can safely sleep out of doors for six months of the year. The plains are from 4,000 to 6,000 feet high, and some of the settled ”parks,” or mountain valleys, are from 8,000 to 10,000. The air, besides being much rarefied, is very dry. The rainfall is far below the average, dews are rare, and fogs nearly unknown. The sunshine is bright and almost constant, and three-fourths of the days are cloudless. — Isabella L. Bird, A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains, 139
