From snow-capped peaks to blooming wildflowers, these Colorado attractions are gorgeous all year long!
Something that I absolutely love about Colorado is that there is no bad time to be here! You can ski, hike, camp, and more. Today, we will take a look at some of the best spots to visit in Colorado, no matter what time of year it is! Let's get into it.
Winter Park Resort
Skiing in Colorado is a blast and Winter Park is one of my favorite resorts to visit. What some people don't take advantage of, however, is spending time at these resorts during the off-season. Summer and early fall bring more activities, such as hiking and mountain biking. There's something special about seeing the resort in a different season. They even host fun events such as their beer fest. Explore Winter Park, or any ski resort during the non-ski season and you'll have a great time!
Aspen, Colorado
Aspen is an amazing Colorado mountain town with so much to do. It's super walkable and beautiful. Its four ski resorts are incredible in the winter, and the aspen leaves are popping during the fall. Whether you ski, hike, or mountain bike at Snowmass, hike the Maroon Bells, or just want to explore the town, there is something for everyone. I also recommend checking out Belly Up, a fun venue in town for concerts and shows.
Crested Butte, Colorado
Another awesome mountain town is Crested Butte! Visit in the winter for awesome skiing. Take in the gorgeous wildflowers during the annual July Wild Flower Festival. Go back again in the autumn for some of the most stunning hikes filled with fall foliage. The town itself also has some great spots to check out, such as The Eldo Brewery.
Meow Wolf
If you want to spend some time indoors, Meow Wolf is an awesome attraction to hit. This unique immersive art experience has locations in Santa Fe, Las Vegas, Grapevine, Houston, and Denver. It's a mix of art installation and interactive playhouse. You'll never run out of things to explore here. There's even a whole storyline you can follow along with to take the experience up a notch. Not only is Meow Wolf a fun time on a regular visit, but they also host various events, such as yoga and live music!
Royal Gorge Bridge and Park
Depending on the weather, Royal Gorge Bridge and Park is open every day of the year, with General Admission Tickets, including the Bridge, Gondola, Playland, and Theater. Some awesome experiences here include The Royal Gorge Bridge (the highest suspension bridge in the U.S.), a Via Ferrata, and a zipline. They even do holiday lights!
Colorado is an amazing state for year-round attractions. Regardless of the season, there's always something to explore and enjoy. These are just a few of the many must-visit spots in the state. So whether you're a local or a visitor, make sure to add these places to your Colorado bucket list!
