Telluride is quite possibly one of the most unique towns in the state and is a popular destination for Coloradans, out-of-staters, and celebrities alike.
Named the number ONE "Small Town to Visit in the USA," U.S. News & World Report cites the scenery, skiing, festivals, and cultural events as their top reasons for loving Telluride.
Officially incorporated in 1900, Steamboat Springs has worn a number of hats over the decades, at different times housing the Yampatika band of the Ute Tribe Utes, railroaders, ranchers, miners, and ski bums.
If you think that skiing and soaking in hot springs are all that Steamboat has to offer, you couldn't be more wrong. The town of 12,000 also boasts incredible restaurants, drives, hikes, lodging, and shopping, as well as fun festivals and events throughout the year.
