The resort area of Beaver Creek is located approximately two hours west of Denver in Avon, Colorado. While it is best known for wintertime sports and summertime activities, the area also has a host of restaurants and trendy eateries hidden among its perfectly groomed slopes.

It’s hard to imagine a more beautiful Colorado destination than Snowmass. Surrounded by majestic mountains and stately Aspen trees it’s the perfect place to unwind and take part in all the fun this town has to offer. From chili cook offs, to free concerts to hot air balloon festivals; no matter what time of year, this town always seems to be in a celebration mode.

Each year, the train makes 560 trips carrying more than 1,000 passengers along its rails and the Royal Gorge Route has been named one of America’s top 8 train excursions by Trains Magazine. In addition to the dining options, there is a murder mystery train as well as the Santa Express where the kids can enjoy hot cocoa and holiday stories and even get a visit from Santa.

Grand Lake is located 100 miles west of Denver and is an easy, scenic drive into the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Its location, nestled at one end of Rocky Mountain National Park, has made it one of the most popular vacations spots to visit. Surrounded by majestic mountains and a national forest and anchored by the largest natural lake (400 feet deep, 1.5 miles long and 2 miles wide) in Colorado also makes Grand Lake one of the most beautiful areas as well as one of the state’s grandest natural outdoor water playgrounds.
