The One Spot In Colorado That’s Basically Heaven On Earth
Let’s face it: No matter where you are in Colorado, you are almost guaranteed to be either in or near a heavenly location. From the dazzling cities to the golden plains all the way to the top of majestic peaks, you are sure to find an out-of-this-world oasis. If we had to choose our favorite place, however, it would have to be this one spot that is our idea of heaven on earth:
Spanning an incredible 76,711 acres and nestled between Rocky Mountain National Park and James Peak Wilderness, Indian Peaks Wilderness is a true heaven-on-earth that features varying landscapes and oh-so vibrant colors.
Named for the numerous Native American tribes who used to inhabit the area, Indian Peaks features a number of iconic Colorado landmarks, including the grandiose Mount Jasper...
If you are looking for a grueling climb (Indian Peaks is home to seven ranges over 13,000 feet!) or something a bit more leisurely (there are plenty of easy to moderate trails as well), you are sure to find something to love about this special area.
