No matter the time of year, this ultimate waterfall road trip is sure to be a family favorite! Whether you take it during the winter when the falls are frozen and surrounded by a soft blanket of snow, or during the serene and warm summer, you are sure to find something to love about this glorious drive.
Since Colorado seems to be a hotbed for the terrifying, there is no shortage of spooky things to see and discover in every corner of the state... however, if we had to pick a handful of scary places to visit, it would have to be all of the designated stops along this ultimate terrifying road trip!
Feeling hungry? No need to hit a drive-thru or go rummaging through the fridge; just take this epic foodie road trip that maps out the best spots for 3 days worth of breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.
Our original sentiment still remains true: "Since becoming a state in 1876, Colorado has seen its fair share of towns both incorporate and disperse. Several of these towns that are abandoned still remain in their deserted state, making them a fascinating place for tourists, ghost hunters, and historians alike." That being said, let's get in the car and check out these abandoned, yet intriguing places.
When it comes to gorgeous and picturesque small towns, Colorado hit the jackpot. From the mountains to the Front Range to the Eastern Plains, there is no shortage of small and friendly towns (of 5,000 or less), which is why we have researched and created this memorable road trip covering as many of these often overlooked places as possible.
What isn't Colorado a mecca for? In addition to charming small towns and hauntings galore, the Centennial State is also chock-full of abandoned places that are hauntingly beautiful. Speaking of beautiful...
...wait until you get a load of our natural wonders road trip, which features such memorable landmarks as the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Garden of the Gods, and Maroon Bells (pictured).
As if you couldn’t tell, we here at Only in Colorado are pretty much obsessed with October, Halloween, and everything paranormal that goes along with it! That being said, we couldn’t help but curate this road trip of a few of Colorado’s most haunted spots and what makes them so creepy. Next October, grab your scare-loving friends and drive with caution as we visit a few of the most haunted places in Colorado.
Fall is by far the most colorful time of the year in Colorado, which is why we took it upon ourselves to curate this incredible fall foliage road trip that includes six of the most picturesque spots in the state!
Yes, Christmas is over (*heavy sigh*)... but that shouldn't stop you from still visiting these Colorado Christmas towns that remain lovely and charming all year round! (But if you didn't get to take the road trip this Christmas, we highly recommend doing it next year.)
Which road trip will you take first?
