A
Guide to Colorado Mountain
Vacations
|
|

The
state of Colorado is one of
the premier spots in the
United States for mountain
vacationing. A Colorado
mountain vacation can be the
adventure of a lifetime. There
are many attractions in
Colorado, including skiing,
shopping, hiking, biking, and
enjoying live entertainment.
A Colorado mountain vacation
is a great trip for the whole
family. Children can enjoy the
outdoor activities like
hiking, skiing, and rafting.
Families can go shopping
together and eat at
world-class restaurants.
Attractions like Pike’s Peak
are designed for the whole
family.
Couples looking for a good way
to unwind are also advised to
check out a Colorado Mountain
vacation. Many lodgings are
designed for couples, and
feature romantic amenities
like private hot tubs,
candlelit dinners, and
breathtaking mountain views.
Colorado includes six of Ski
Magazine’s top ten North
American ski resorts. Skiing
and snowboarding are major
attractions of a Colorado
mountain vacation. Some of the
major ski resorts in Colorado
are Vail, Snowmass, Steamboat
Springs, Breckenridge, Beaver
Creek, and Telluride.
Each of these resorts offers a
variety of amenities,
including accommodations, ski
equipment rental, fine dining,
and some of the greatest ski
slopes on the continent. Many
resorts also offer lessons to
beginners, assuring that
visitors do not have to be
great skiers to have a good
time. The slopes range in
difficulty from beginner’s
level to extremely difficult.
Each ski lodge rates its
slopes somewhat differently,
but the color code system
applies to most of them. A
green circle signifies a
beginner’s slope, slopes for
skiers with intermediate
experience are designated by a
blue square, and difficult
slopes are marked with a black
diamond. Some skiers are
skilled (and brave) enough to
try a double or triple black
diamond. The most difficult
ski slopes are marked with a
yellow exclamation point.
A Colorado Mountain vacation
can be the adventure of a
lifetime. Aside from all of
the breathtaking outdoor
activities, visitors can also
make the short drive to Red
Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver
to catch a concert, or go to
the annual Telluride Film
Festival. Vacationers on a
budget can find lodgings and
activities that will fit
within their price range, too.
