Planning Vacation to Colorado This Summer?
If you and your family are planning a vacation to Colorado this summer, don’t forget to plan at least one day mosying in the mountains. There is so much to do. Hiking is as easy as hopping in the car with a small amount of gear and spending a day out in the beautiful forests and mountains.
If you are coming from out of state, plan a hike. The only extra gear you will need to spend some time on the trails may be water bottles, jeans, jackets, hats, and a good map! It’s not a lot of extra packing.
Spend part of your day hiking and the other part exploring some of Colorado’s most charming mountain towns. Some of our favorites are Georgetown, Idaho Springs, Breckenridge, Evergreen and Vail!
Georgetown has its very own railroad open to the public for 1 hour rides, a main street nestled at the base of several mountains, Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep viewing stations, and awesome Guanella Pass next door.
Idaho Springs has a quaint main street with shops and eateries – and Mt Evans Hwy next door.
Breckenridge has old silver mining town charm, concerts, hiking, lots of biking options and Lake Dillon next door.
Evergreen has a small main street with shops, ice cream and Evergreen Lake that offers fishing, paddle boats, and canoes for rent.
Vail is renowned for it’s Swiss Alps-like charm and for its beautiful and abundant surroundings!
Take your pick! There’s a lot more to do than that! And everywhere you go, you can find a great trail for you and your family!
