Colorado, the beautiful state known for stunning mountains and legal… well, you know… also has some laws that are, let’s say, a bit quirky. Buckle up, because we’re about to dive into a world where vacuum cleaners are social outcasts, boulders have feelings (sort of), and dandelions are public enemy number one! Here’s to the weird colorado laws!

1. Rock and a Hard Place:  

Apparently, even rocks in Colorado state parks have rights! It’s illegal to “mutilate” a rock. So, no picking at those sparkly geodes or using them for your backyard target practice.

2. Sunday Scaries… for Car Dealers?:  

Ever get that Sunday scaries feeling? Well, car dealerships in Colorado must feel it extra hard! They’re not allowed to show off their shiny new vehicles on Sundays. Maybe it’s to give salespeople a well-deserved break, or maybe they’re worried car buyers might get too distracted and forget about church!

3. Booze Blues: 

Feeling thirsty on a Sunday? Tough luck! No liquor stores are open. And forget about grabbing a six-pack at the grocery store – the only alcohol they can sell is weak beer (think barely-there barley pops). Looks like movie marathons with popcorn are the only option.

4. DUI on a Dobbin? 

Ever heard of a “DUI” (Driving Under the Influence)? Well, in Colorado, it applies to horses too! Don’t hop on your trusty steed after a few too many root beers at the saloon.

5. The Great Pillow Tag Caper:  

Feeling rebellious? In Colorado, you can totally rip the tags off your pillows and mattresses without fear of the law. Maybe it’s a way to get back at those pesky manufacturers who insist on putting itchy tags right where you sleep!

6. Dodgeball Anyone? (Not in Alamosa):  

Looking for some friendly competition? Leave your dodgeballs at home if you’re visiting Alamosa. Throwing missiles (including dodgeballs) at cars is a big no-no!

7. Love Shacks Not Welcome (Again, in Alamosa):  

Who knew Colorado could be so old-fashioned? In Alamosa, forget about opening a “love shack” where unmarried folks can… well, you get the idea.

8. Poop Patrol:  Seems like Alamosa really likes its rules! There, you also need a license for any dog over 3 months old. And forget about “nature’s call” in public – urinating outdoors is a big no-no!

9. Dim Sum, Not So Dim:  If you’re ever in Arvada and order a beer that comes with a side of darkness, you might want to send it back. Establishments selling alcohol there must have bright enough lights for you to read a newspaper!

10. Catapults? Not Today!:  

Feeling like a medieval re-enactor? Hold your horses (or should we say, catapults?). Firing a catapult at buildings is strictly forbidden in Aspen.

11. Sassy with the Sasquatch? (Sort of):  

In Boulder, you can technically argue with a police officer – but only until they ask you to stop! Maybe they’re hoping a good debate will wear you out?

12. Llamascaping is Illegal:  

Ever thought about hiring a llama for your lawn care? Think again! Boulder doesn’t allow these fuzzy lawnmowers on city property.

13. Boulder Boulders Don’t Budge:  

Seems like Boulder has a thing for rocks (besides not wanting them mutilated in state parks). Rolling a boulder on city property is a big no-no!

14. Couch Potato Paradise… Not Really:  

Living in Boulder and dreaming of a cozy couch on your porch? Those dreams will have to stay dreams! Boulder has a law against couches on outside porches.

15. Sunday Six-Shooters (Almost):  

In Colorado Springs, you can wear a holster with a gun most days. But hold off on that Sunday morning duel – guns are a no-go on Sundays, Election Days, and holidays.

16. Mules on the Second Floor? NOPE!:  

Cripple Creek might be known for its gambling, but don’t bring your lucky mule upstairs! It’s illegal to take your horse or mule above the ground floor of any building there.

17. Lost Your Vacuum? Too Bad!:  

Having a neighborly moment and offering to lend your

18. Denver Dog Catchers Deliver the News… Old School:  

Ever wondered how a dogcatcher notifies a dog it’s about to be impounded? In Denver, they take a very “old school” approach. They post a notice on a tree in the park for three whole days! Guess the internet hasn’t reached all corners of Colorado yet.

19. Sharing is NOT Caring (in Denver):  

Need to borrow a vacuum from your neighbor to clean up that birthday cake mess? Think again in Denver! Apparently, lending your vacuum cleaner is against the law. Maybe they worry about the spread of dust bunnies across property lines?

20. Sunday Driver Blues (The Car Kind):  

Did someone forget to tell Denver about the invention of car washes? In the Mile High City, you can’t drive a black car on Sundays. Maybe they just really love a good Sunday shine?

21. Don’t Rat on Rats!:  

Feeling like a rodent exterminator? Hold off on those traps in Denver! Believe it or not, it’s illegal to mistreat rats there. Maybe they’re hoping the rats will become friendly neighborhood pets?

22. Dress Code Dilemma:  

Packing your bags for Durango? Make sure you pack clothes that would make your grandma proud. It’s illegal to wear clothes in public that are “unbecoming” of your sex. Does that mean superhero costumes are out?

23. Kissing While She Sleeps? Not Cool (But Only in Logan County):  

This one might be the strangest yet! In Logan County, it’s illegal for a man to kiss a woman while she’s asleep. Maybe they should have a law against waking someone up with a bad kiss instead!

24. Turkeys Rule, Chickens Drool (in Louisville):  

Dreaming of a backyard flock of fluffy chickens? Head on over to Louisville! Owning chickens is a no-go, but you can have up to three turkeys. Thanksgiving dinner anyone?

25. Public Enemy Number One: The Dandelion!:  

Forget about making wishes on those fluffy white dandelion seeds in Pueblo. They’re considered such a menace that it’s illegal to let them grow over 10 inches tall! Maybe they just have really neat lawns in Pueblo?

26. Night Skiing Gone Wrong? Not Really:  

Ever wondered if it’s illegal to crash on a ski slope? Well, in Vail, it is! But hey, at least they have comfy slopes, right?

27. Weird Colorado Laws – JUNK Not Welcome (Especially in Vail):  

Vail might be a beautiful resort town, but they don’t want your junk cluttering things up! It’s illegal to keep junk too close to someone else’s property.

28. Fountain of Youth… Not Allowed (in Fountain):  

Seems the town of Fountain takes weed control very seriously. In fact, it’s illegal to have any weeds on your lawn! Guess dandelions aren’t the only public enemy in Colorado.

29. Silent Treatment for Sirens (in Fort Collins):  

Ever get startled by a loud siren? Well, in Fort Collins, ambulances and firetrucks have to be extra careful. They can only use their sirens within 100 feet of an intersection!

30. Beware the Bathing Beauty Bandit (in Glenwood Springs):  

Taking a dip in the hot springs of Glenwood Springs? Make sure you wear a swimsuit! Public nudity is a big no-no, even in the toasty waters.

31. Musical Chairs Gets Literal (in Idaho Springs):  

Planning a lively party in Idaho Springs? Think twice about musical chairs! It’s illegal to remove a chair from a table without permission. Guess they take their furniture very seriously.

32. No Fortune Telling in the Fortune Cookie (in Leadville):  

Feeling curious about your future? Don’t rely on fortune cookies in Leadville. Fortune telling is strictly forbidden!

33. Piñatas Take a Pinching (in Manitou Springs):  

Having a birthday bash in Manitou Springs? Leave the piñata at home! It’s illegal to break anything on public property, and that includes those candy-filled papier-mâché animals.

34. Spelling Bee Champs Only (in Silverton):  

Think you’re a spelling whiz? You might want to test your skills in Silverton. Apparently, it’s illegal to misuse a spelling bee word. So much pressure!

35. Beware the Bathtub Bandits (in Westminster):  

Taking a relaxing bubble bath in Westminster? Make sure you lock the door! It’s illegal to bathe with the bathroom door unlocked. Maybe they’re just promoting good hygiene habits?
