Palisade
Vail
Vail is a ski town with an impressive social scene. You'll find everything from fine dining and family fun to apres-ski and weekly street concerts. Stroll down historic Bridge Street with its mix of boutiques and art galleries. Or wind down at one of the many day spas.
Estes Park
The town of Estes Park is 8 mi/13 km east of Rocky Mountain National Park and serves as its main commercial center. In addition to hotels and restaurants, it has the Estes Park Area Historical Museum and an aerial tramway that runs to the top of Prospect Mountain.
The town hosts the Longs Peak Scottish-Irish Highland Festival in early September. It includes all things Celtic, including bagpipes and whiskeys from both Ireland and Scotland, as well as such traditional Scottish athletic events as the caber toss and the hammer throw.
Glenwood Springs
Glenwood Springs is located in Colorado's Rocky Mountains and is a magical recreational paradise where visitors can enjoy biking, hiking, rafting, horseback riding, skiing, skydiving, zip lining and much more. This mountain resort town is most known for the restorative powers its hot springs hold, soothing aches, pains and stresses. The bubbling hot springs and geothermal caverns have been a popular destination for health seekers since the early 1880's, and have been popular ever since.
Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City's family oriented culture makes it a perfect getaway destination. The city offers a variety of attractions, amusement centers, and unique attractions & activities to please children of all ages. Salt Lake is also recognized as one of the best ski areas in the United States with ten major ski resorts, seven cross country areas, and the nation's only recreational ski jumping complex, all with one hour of downtown Salt Lake. It's an ideal place for a memorable winter vacation. Delight in animal antics and winged wonders. Glide round an outdoor skating rink downtown. Travel back in time at an authentic pioneer village or trace family roots amid the world's largest collections of genealogical data. Experience a multimedia star show. Dig up facts about dinosaurs, history, or mining.
Durango
Durango was established in 1881 as a frontier mining town. But many of the old-time settlers discovered they got more out of the scenery than the mines. Nestled in the Animas River Valley, in the afternoon shadows of the San Juan Mountains, people still get pretty much the same feeling. There’s something about being where picture-postcard beauty circles like an old wagon train. It tends to slow folks down a notch or two and let their best side catch up to them.
Denver
Denver is not only the perfect gateway to the Rocky Mountains and the American West - it is also a major tourism destination, filled with world-class attractions, excellent accommodations, over 2,000 restaurants and the finest shopping in the region. Just a few of its new projects include: Coors Field, Prehistoric Journey, and Six Flags, just to name a few. Denver has amusement parks, sightseeing, fine dining, AAA basketball, museums, and that is not all. Nighttime entertainment includes: music and dance clubs with music ranging from smooth sounding jazz to lively disco, comedy clubs, concerts, theater, opera, symphony and movies. Even with all there is to do, virtually no one comes to Denver without visiting the Colorado Ocean Journey.
Colorado Springs
Founded in 1871, Colorado Springs, Colorado's second-largest city, has evolved from a quaint, Victorian spa resort to a sophisticated city, with a charming "small town" ambiance. With over 50 attractions, Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region are the gateway to Southern Colorado's "Outdoor Adventure Play Land." Located 80 miles south of Denver's International Airport and 1 and 1/2 hours east of world-class skiing, Colorado Springs is a vacation mecca, drawing over 6 million visitors annually.
Moab
Located on the banks of the Colorado River, nestled in a fertile green valley between soaring red sandstone cliffs, the town of Moab is truly an emerald in the desert. Moab’s close proximity to several national and state parks has made it a popular destination, and a wonderful location to begin any adventure in southeastern Utah. The majestic LaSal Mountains tower over the southern end of town attaining heights of nearly 13,000 feet. Just five miles north of town is Arches National Park, which contains the world’s largest concentration of natural stone arches. Thirty miles west of Moab is Canyonlands National Park, containing over 500 square miles of incredibly rugged and spectacular canyon country.
