Summary	The tower at Genoa, Colorado, six stories high with glassed and open observation decks, was built in the early 1900s by C. W. Gregory, and has been run by several owners. Genoa is the highest point between Denver and New York City, and six states are visible: painted on the tower and buildings is "By Ripley in Believe It or Not, States to be Seen. Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, N. Mexico. World's Wonder View from Tower." Other signs read "Entrance Tower & Museum" and "Friendly Place, Post Cards, Souvenirs, Minerals, Crystals, and Petrified Wood." Snow is around the buildings, and a large parking lot is in front.
