This looks like one of the orb weavers, which include some of our showiest spiders. See http://bspm.agsci.colostate.edu/files/2013/03/Banded-Garden-Spider.pdf for information on a related species and http://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/insects/spiders-in-the-home-5-512/ for details on some common Colorado spiders.
