Colorado
A Mountain Paradise
If the idea of spending the majority of your vacation outdoors appeals to you, then you'll want to travel to Colorado, USA. The state is home to some of the highest peaks in the contiguous United States -- so when you visit you'll get access to long skiing and snowboarding runs and sweeping views.
What to do
Naturally, skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing are some of the popular activities during the colder months of the year. With bountiful snowfall and world-class mountain resorts, you don't want to travel to Colorado in the wintertime and not try out the winter sports! But even if you're not the skiing type, the resorts also offer excellent shopping and dining, as well as other activities such as sledding and ice skating.
During the summer, head to the mountains or Rocky Mountain National Park to experience world-class mountain biking, hiking and climbing -- or simply check into one of the state's mountain resorts for relaxation, spa treatments and stunning views.
Where to stay
The mountain resorts such as Breckenridge, Vail, Winter Park, Steamboat and Beaver Creek offer top-quality accommodations that include condos, hotels, or vacation rentals, as well as private bed and breakfasts and smaller motels. Get there by flying into Denver International Airport, or check the smaller airports that get you to the mountain resorts even faster.
When to visit
Winter or summer are both great times to travel to Colorado. Summer means fewer crowds, while winter is definitely the busiest time for the mountain resorts. If you're visiting during the winter season, expect higher prices and less availability during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
What to eat
People from all over the world come to Colorado to experience the excellent winter activities -- and with that comes a wide variety of food options. People in Colorado tend to be health- conscious, so you'll find plenty of fresh, local and organic options on the menus. Ask for a recommendation for fine dining near your accommodations, or try casual options such as Mexican food or sandwich shops that are abundant in Colorado.
