From what I've seen, although glaciers formed in the mountains, the ice didn't come down into the U.S. intermountain West. I imagine that means Colorado would be a windblown steppe. I suppose T. Boone Pickens would like that, but few others would!

I don’t know how anyone would know but I have heard that there was three miles of ice above the Rockies. When you look at something like the Diamond on Long’s Peak and think about what it took to shear that off like a flint knapper taking a flake off of a piece of stone it has some credibility. But I don’t know how it really was. I do know that it would only take about 40’ of snow to cover up every stick of firewood around. Solid ice and high winds. Brrrr!
