Our house was built in the 80s and we have the cracks just in on bathroom that we know of. There is movement to the steps and such but it sounds like the house just shifted due to being in Colorado. Should we be worried about this and have it checked out? Thank you!

The question really is are these older cracks, or are they continuing to move?

If they are older cracks, I wouldn't be too worried. If they are continuing to grow, then yea, then you need to have them inspected

These don't look like cracks that I would be concerned about personally. Houses move, settle, expand, and contact over time. I can't guarantee that there isn't a structural issue causing this, but just from the looks of it, these look like common cracks that often show up over time on drywall seams due to natural house movement.
