The Front Range is the mountain range of the rocky mountain of the North America which is located in the north central portion of the US state of Colorado. The Front Range is so named because moving west along the 40th parallel north across the great plains of the North America. I must say that it is the first mountain range encountered.

The name Front Range is also derived from Front Range urban corridor which is the most populated region as far as the US is concerned. It extends from pueblo Colorado north to Cheyenne Wyoming. This urban corridor is made possible by the weather moderating effect of the front mountain range which helps clock prevailing storms.

This setting provides both scenery as the Front Range towers over Denver and Boulder and it is also the hotspot for the people living there who take part in mountain biking, hiking, camping, skiing, and snowboarding during winter. However if you will go back millions of years back in the history then you will find that the mountain range which we now know as the Front Range, was home to ancient mountain ranges, deserts, beaches, and even oceans. If you want to have the evidence then you may look at the rocks over which the people of Colorado live. Most of these rocks have proved to be really great and have given the geologists many clues about the past of this region.

I really feel that the Front Range has really proved out to be one of the best as far as the different mountain ranges are concerned.

I would now like to list some of the regions which are a milestone and very important if you want to know about the history of this place. They are as follows:

1. Pikes Peak granite.
2. Fountain formation.
3. Lyons sand stones.
4. Lykins formation.
5. Morrison formation.
6. Dakota sand stone.

And so on.

I really feel that they are quiet important. You must have heard about the Florissant fossil bed. I really feel that the region contains quiet a large number of fossils and I must tell you that the Front Range is not too far from that place. I really feel that all these regions are quiet important and takes us long back inside the history which is million of years old. This is really incredible and I do feel that you will not find such places around the world. The US is really quiet lucky to have its history so old. None of the country around the world has the privilege of being so old. Hence we should really feel proud and also meanwhile help the government to protect the area from something which can destroy these historical sites.
