Caption from back:
Colorado is the state where the Rockies reach their greatest height in the United States. Colorado is America's summer playground where in the cool depths of the mountains visitors enjoy the beauty and solace of the pines, the snow-capped peaks and the delightful lakes and streams. 
In Colorado is found romantic old time mining cities, miles of thrilling fishing, thrilling highways through the mountains and the delights of camping in the cool quiet peace of unspoiled nature.

The heyday of large-letter postcards was the 1930s through the 1950s, which is considered the linen era among postcard collectors for the profusion of textured-paper postcards printed during those decades. Prominent printers of that era include Curt Teich & Co. of Chicago, Tichnor Brothers of Boston, and E.C. Kropp of Milwaukee. The souvenir postcards printed by these companies and others usually trumpeted the virtues of states, cities, military bases, and tourist attractions, including national and state parks. Often topped by the words “Greetings From,” the cards are recognizable for their blocky, 3-D letters packed with illustrations or photographs of scenic local sights.
