When To Go

Along the Front Range, where Denver and Colorado Springs are located, summer days are hot and dry, and evenings pleasantly mild. Relative humidity is low, and temperatures seldom rise above the 90s (30s Celsius). Evenings start to get cooler by mid-September, but even as late as November the days are often warm. Surprisingly, winters here are warmer and less snowy than winters in the Great Lakes or New England.

What To See

Pikes Peak - Towering 14,110 feet above Colorado Springs, this mountain serves as one of the nation\'s most famous landmarks.
Garden Of The Gods - This remarkable 1,360-acre park is so full of weird and surreal red sandstone rock formations that it looks like Mother Nature teamed with Salvador Dali in forming it.
The jewel of Aspen\'s four ski mountains, Aspen Mountain spills right into the streets, making it very convenient for in-town lodgers. Eight lifts, including the Silver Queen Gondola, service 76 trails, most of which cater to experts and intermediates-this is not a mountain for beginners.
