The
Colorado Piedmont is an area along the base of the foothills of the
Front Range in north central
Colorado in the
United States. The region consists of a broad hilly valley, just under 5000 ft (1500 m) in elevation, stretching north and northeast from
Denver in the valley of the
South Platte River, as well as along the
Arkansas River valley southward from
Colorado Springs. The region includes much of the populated and cultivated area of Colorado. The name Colorado Piedmont also refers to the physiographic section of the
Great Plains province.
