I've seen a lot of post about people asking where the best places in CO are because they're coming here on vacation. So instead of going to the most popular tourist locations, heres my top 5 favorite places in CO in case you're looking for something more exciting and secluded:
#5) Buena Vista. Home to the collegiate mountain range wich has the highest concentration of 14,000 ft peaks in all of CO.
#4) Durango. It's a small mountain college town and it has the coolest downtown area of any city/town I've ever been to. Plus there is the a train that takes you up to silverton and the train ride goes through one of the most beautiful areas in CO.
#3) Winter Park. Small mountain town, ski resort elevation is 12,000ft and trails, trails, trails, and more trails. If you tried to do everything there is to do in Winter Park, I bet it would take a year to do it all. There is so much to do it's overwhelming. Fishing water skiing (in the summer) sledding, skiing, snowboarding, Offroading, hiking, the list goes on and on.
#2) Telluride. You've got two parts of Telluride. On top of the valley mountain you've got the mountain villiage which is where Oprah and Tom Cruise both have a house so its really ritsy but there are some amazing hotels that during the summer are pretty cheap. Then down in the valley you have the main part of Telluride which is the more normal living average income area but full of shops and restraunts and all sorts of stuff. The at the end of the valley...umm its hard to describe it in words
Thats a 1000ft cliff, yes thats someones house, and yes someone lives there and theres a 4x4 trail that goes up to their house and then does a circle aroun the whole valley.
