SKI RESORTS
All Year
LONG
The best thing about visiting Colorado is
the abundance of options that can easily fill
a one- or two-week vacation here. Denver
is the premier starting and stopping point, a
city that can delight kids of all ages thanks
to the Children's Museum of Denver and the
wildly popular Denver Museum of Nature &
Science, where the eagle-eyed among them
can spot tiny elves hidden in select exhibits.
After sampling just some of what this great
city offers, the mountains beckon.
While skiing down snow-blanketed
mountains is a family adventure many would
love, visiting ski resorts off-season provides
fewer crowds and more activities. With acres of
explorable forests, rock-strewn rivers, mountain
trails and outdoor entertainment, ski resorts
burst with a variety of adventures far beyond
the powdered snow and crisp winter air.
Well known for its ski trails, Vail is a veritable
hiker’s heaven in its own right. Hiking through
the White River National Forest, with 15 trails
from two to 18 miles to choose from, you’ll
find wildflowers swaying across the vast
grasslands, as well as elks and moose ambling
through the forests. As glorious as the trails
are, Vail is also an ideal place to teach your
kids the artistry of fly fishing. In the offseason
of Aspen, just down the road and through
the mountains from Vail, take a turn on the
wild side with horseback riding through the
alpine wilderness or strap on life vests and go
whitewater rafting on the challenging Class
II-III sections of the Middle Roaring Fork,
suitable for families with older children.
After driving across the Rockies, enjoying
ski resorts along the way, you’ll find a vast land
packed with national parks. At Black Canyon
National Park near Montrose, sheer black walls
plummet up to 2,700 feet down to create a jawdropping
gorge. Great Sand Dunes National
Park and Preserve near Alamosa is home to
750 feet-high sand dunes that challenge the
Rocky Mountains themselves. And Mesa
Verde National Park near Cortez is home to
some of the most unique Ancestral Puebloan
dwellings in the world.
