The 'Eastern Plains' of
Colorado refers to region of the
U.S. state of Colorado on the east side of the
Rocky Mountains, and east of the population centers of the
Front Range.
The Eastern Plains are part of the
High Plains, which are the westernmost portion of the
Great Plains region. They are among the most sparsely populated areas in the continental United States. Most of the Eastern Plains region lies within Colorado's
4th congressional district.
Even though
Colorado is considered a quintessential
Western state, this region is often considered the
Midwest.
Many stars are known to have houses there, such as Michael Jackson,Alec Baldwin, and Pamela Anderson. Playboy guru Hugh Hefner is even considering building another Playboy mansion in the eastern plains.
