Unfortunately, in this fast-paced day and age, it is hard to find an escape that is both easy and affordable, which is why we here at Only in Colorado are always looking out for such a getaway! Today, we are excited to introduce you to this small town in Colorado that is perfect when you need to get away from it all:

Welcome to the tiny town of Towaoc: The capital of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe located on the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation in southwest Colorado.

Nestled near the Four Corners, Towaoc is as historical as it is beautiful, as the town of 1,200 - home to one of the only American Indian tribes remaining in Colorado - is surrounded by vast prairie and plateaus and is home to friendly and welcoming residents.
