COLORADO Scenic beauty abounds in Colorado with plenty of things to do. Spend time in Denver or Colorado Springs. Visit the towns along the Front Range or get up into the mountains. There are 54 peaks of 14,000 feet or more. Explore Native American archaeological sites such as Chimney Rock National Monument, Crow Canyon or Mesa Verde. Explore the Western Slope where towns like Durango, Pagosa Springs and Telluride still reflect the western influence of their mining and ranching heritage. There are lakes and rivers for boating, fishing, kayaking and whitewater rafting. Outdoor adventures await in 42 State Parks and 4 National Parks and all the wide-open spaces in Colorado.
