Colorado shares a border with Wyoming to the north, Nebraska to the northeast, Kansas to the east, Oklahoma to the southeast, New Mexico to the south, Arizona at a common point known as the Four Corners at the southwest, and Utah to the west.
The existence of high mountains and valleys greatly affect the local climate of the state. It experiences extremity in weather conditions. In the summer, some of its cities may get temperatures exceeding 95°F (35°C) while in winter, the temperature may drop to -10°F (-23.3°C) or even lower.
