Summertime fun and adventures
Any time of year, Colorado offers amazing outdoor activities, vibrant artistic communities, and historic locations. Ski immaculate powder slopes, trek over opulent national park scenery, and meander through quaint alpine villages. Stay at a tourist ranch, go whitewater rafting, and enjoy the vistas from a clifftop for an unusual experience. With its entertainment options, food, and craft breweries, Denver, the state capital, is a favorite with cosmopolitan tourists. Discovering all of Colorado’s attractions starts at this perfect location.
The first people to inhabit Colorado did so centuries ago. These are the Pueblo ancestors who chiseled their homes into the cliff faces. The 1190s see the construction of these subterranean homes. Discover how these folks farmed and lived in southwest Colorado’s Mesa Verde National Park until 1300. Tour sites include the Balcony House, Cliff Palace, and Spruce Tree House with a ranger. Traveling from there will allow you to discover more about Colorado’s Wild West past. Watch for ghost towns, mining museums, tourist ranches, old forts, and railroads. What would happen if, for a day or two, you rode horses and played cowboy? You will most surely want to go back to civilization after this time jump to experience modern society. Beyond Denver, take in Steamboat Springs, with its hot springs and Western charm, the wines of Grand Junction, the picturesque parks of Colorado Springs, and historic Fort Collins.
All year round breathtaking scenery and activities
Apart from Mesa Verde, Colorado boasts three more national parks: Great Sand Dunes, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and Rocky Mountain, the most well-known park in the state. Trek and fish, take in the local fauna and wildflowers and look up at dunes that reach heights of 2,650 meters. If you’d prefer to take in the beauty of a tourist train operating on one of the eight ancient railway lines, book a tent to watch the stars in the night sky. Nine national monuments, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and 58 peaks over 4,000 meters (or 14,000 feet)—hence the moniker “Fourteeners”—are among Colorado’s other treasures. With 28 ski areas, these excellent slopes have made Colorado one of the top winter sports destinations in North America. Summertime brings a plethora of activities in high-altitude towns and resorts. Fans of cable car trips, ziplining, cycling, and golf won’t have time to become bored. Any time of year, some of the best spots to stay and unwind are Breckenridge, Vail, Aspen/Snowmass, and Telluride.
Colorado’s splendor is a priceless asset to be protected
