Colorado Fun: Don’t Overlook Summer

Colorado gives us images of snow-capped mountains that make for great skiing, with visions of renowned ski lodges and resorts. While this image is accurate, there is more to Colorado than just winter activities. The Centennial State can be a summer playground as well. In fact, travelagewest.com claims that more guests visit Colorado in the summer than they do in the winter. So maybe it’s time to see what Colorado can offer us in the summertime.

Those beautiful mountains are for more than just skiing, Visitors to the state can have fun hiking, climbing, ziplining, and even explore the adventure of alpine slides. In addition, the state’s picture-perfect scenery provides us with memorable sight-seeing.

According to travelagewest.com, the U.S. Forest Service finalized a policy which allows ski areas the access of natural resources for summer activities. This has resulted in more year-round tourism, and gives visitors much to do.

These summer activities include The Aspen Snowmass. Originally open for skiing, this area will begin an outdoor adventure in 2018, and will offer ziplining, naturalist walks, and many photo opportunities of the area’s breathtaking scenery.

The Breckenridge Ski Resort has been an established family ski resort for decades, but in 1979, it introduced the Alpine Slide. In the interest of expansion, it now offers zipline tours, climbing walls, and a challenge course.

Copper Mountain has many activities for families, such as minigolf, bumper-boat rentals, go-karts, and much more. There are also many local events in the area for kids and adults, and more are added all the time.

Steamboat Springs has so much to see and do, they offer a bucket list for guests to help plan their adventures. Roller coasters, steamboat boat adventures, hiking and more will entertain visitors, and the list of experiences are sure to keep them coming back.

With all there is to see in do, we’re sure you will agree that Colorado is not just for winter anymore.
