Colorado is a
state of extreme high-mountain adventure, with exciting horse trails
and with 54 peaks rising above
14,000 feet. Journey to the subalpine meadows of Rocky Mountain
National Park, and watch herds of elk and mountain sheep graze as
golden eagles soar high above. Visit ancient Anasazi ruins at Mesa
Verde National Park. Become enchanted with out-of-this-world rock
formations at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. Take skiing
lessons at Aspen or Breckenridge. Denver and smaller towns like
Estes Park, offer great vacation hospitality with shopping, dining,
activities and day trips for the whole family. Breathe in the fresh
mountain air in the unforgettable experience that is Colorado!

destination. Colorado has almost as many dead towns (about 500) as
live ones (650).

300 ghost towns that fascinate locals and tourists. The eastern
plains and western canyon lands are also haunted by more than 200

Show.
