Colorado

With pleasant year-round weather and a wealth of activities, travellers favour Colorado for their summer vacation.

There are so many things to see and do in Colorado you'll discover the state is not only great for a weekend getaway but also a vacation for a week...or two!

Explore one of Colorado's four national parks, where visitors can hike through lush, green valleys, drive along Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, the highest paved road in the country, hike along a crystal clear alpine lake or soothe tired muscles in a natural hot springs pool. For a taste of adventure, try whitewater rafting down one of Colorado's many rivers, or mountain bike along fields of bright wildflowers. Mountain towns feature festivals and events that are exclusive to Colorado's summer season. Events include the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and the Snowmass Chili Pepper and Brew Fest in June; Music in the Mountains in Durango and the Crested Butte Wildflower Festival in July; and the Palisade Peach Festival and Fort Collins' NewWest Fest in August, to name a few. Colorado is also a centre for arts and culture. This July, the 2010 Biennial of the Americas comes to Denver. This international event celebrates the arts, culture, sciences, politics, economics, and technology from the 35 nations in the Western Hemisphere. There are more than 80 wineries throughout Colorado to explore, from 'wine country' in the western part of the state to urban wineries. Across the state, wine enthusiasts can enjoy Colorado's 'wine trails' such as the Front Range Wine Trail, home to nearly 24 wineries and tasting rooms, allowing visitors to sample wines from Canon City to Estes Park. Colorado wine is best paired with the delicious cuisine prepared by award-winning chefs across the state. From hip urban eateries to farm-to-table restaurants, there's a new experience for your palate every day. Of course, one of the most popular activities in Colorado is exploring on your own. The state is home to 25 Scenic and Historic Byways that meander throughout the state. It's all up to you.
