What about Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs? It's home NORAD. Some say the tunnels house aliens and UFOs. I'm unsure how much of that's true, but anything can happen.

Colorado is home to some extraordinary artists who build out-of-this-world houses. Take Bishop's Castle for example. It even has a fire-breathing dragon.
