Amendment to change CO Senate from population based to land based?

What do you folks think about a Colorado Constitutional Amendment to change the state senate from a population based alignment to a land area based alignment?

Essentially, the current senate is just another version of the house- each representative has 77K constituents, and each senator has 144K constituents.

As a result, political power is consolidated along the front range in both chambers. I would propose that the 35 senate seats be roughly equally allocated by land area across the state. Another option would be to assign one senator per every two counties, perhaps leaving the remaining three senators to be assigned to the largest population counties as a second senator.

This should have been done 20 - 30 years ago, and would be very difficult to achieve now given the current climate. It just frustrates me that a hipster in a Lodo loft has the same effective representation in state gov't as a rancher who owns thousands of acres.
