From tasting wine in Colorado's wine country to sipping a hot cocoa with views of snow-capped peaks, the Northwest Region of the state is a place meant for savoring life's finer things. Here, travelers will find an abundance of activities year-round. In fact, life-long Colorado residents are still finding surprises in this
... more land of serrated peaks, dramatic canyons and fertile valleys. A majority of the region's eastern border follows the Continental Divide - nestled beneath the divide you'll find some of the world's most legendary resort towns, including Aspen, Breckenridge, Keystone and Winter Park; Vail, Beaver Creek and Steamboat Springs lie a little farther beyond. These havens for powder hounds in winter become playgrounds for sun-seekers in summer, when the valleys overflow with waterfalls and blossom with wildflowers. In the Front Range region, Rocky Mountain National Park, a 400-square-mile preserve of forests, meadows, tundra, and opaline ponds, stay above timberline for days on end and enjoy views normally reserved for an eagle; picnic by a meandering creek, or tug at a taught line with a native greenback cutthroat at the other end. Locals call the northeastern part of the state "Colorado's Outback," or "The Other Colorado" in proud celebration of the area's pioneer traditions and expansive natural beauty. Sun-splashed lakes and reservoirs offer plenty of water sports, and hunters can find pheasants, antelope, deer, geese, ducks, quails and wild turkeys. In Colorado, our 8,000 miles of rivers and streams, and more than 2,000 lakes, are brimming with fish.
