Much of Colorado is a very dry state averaging only of precipitation per year statewide and rarely experiences a time when some portion of the state is not in some degree of drought . The lack of precipitation contributes to the severity of wildfires in the state , such as the Hayman Fire of 2002 , one of the largest wildfires in American history , and the Fourmile Canyon Fire of 2010 , which until the Waldo Canyon Fire and High Park Fire of June 2012 , and the Black Forest Fire of June 2013 , was the most destructive wildfire in Colorado 's recorded history
