Anyone who has ever been to Colorado knows that it is a picturesque wonderland complete with stunning mountain views, lush valleys and even a few gorgeous structures scattered about. In fact, Colorado is so pretty that it reminds me of something you'd see illustrated in a storybook! To give you the same visual, here are 13 Colorado spots that are straight out of a fairy tale:
1. Aspen

Doesn't the color contrast between the aspens and the green grass remind you of the forest from Snow White?
2. Great Sand Dunes National Park

These aren't quite the "Arabian Nights" you remember from Aladdin, but pretty close!
3. Estes Park Aerial Tramway Colorado
