To the southwest and northwest, there are a couple of other resort areas to
consider for your next exchange or Getaway:
It takes a little more time to get to
Aspen
or
Steamboat Springs
. Once you arrive, though,
that’s precisely the appeal, and there’s just as much to do around these out-of-the-way locales
as their more widely known Colorado counterparts.
In Aspen, see the Maroon Bells (above), reportedly the most photographed mountains in
North America; ski the 150 miles (241 kilometers) of trails at Snowmass; and stop in for fish
tacos at the late author Hunter S. Thompson’s favorite haunt, the Woody Creek Tavern.
Ski Steamboat Springs’ glades; spend an evening soaking in Old Town Hot Springs’ eight
natural spring-fed pools of varying temperatures; and cheer for the cowboys and cowgirls of
the summertime Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo Series.
