@americantravelarchives: Save this one before your next mountain trip 📍 ⠀ Follow americantravelarchives for more hidden gems and bucket list adventures across the U.S. ⠀ 📍 Colorado ⠀ Some states make you pick one good town. Colorado makes you pick six. These are the ones we keep coming back to, the kind of places where the drive in is half the experience and the main street feels like a movie set. ⠀ Where to go: 🏔 Telluride, tucked in a box canyon with waterfalls at the end of town and a free gondola to the views ⛏ Ouray, the “Switzerland of America,” hot springs and ice-blue peaks in every direction 🚂 Georgetown, a historic mining town with the old railroad loop still running 🌲 Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park and all the elk that come with it 🎿 Breckenridge, a Main Street that goes off year round, not just in ski season 🏔 Vail, alpine charm that actually earns the Europe comparison ⠀ Pro tip: hit Ouray and Telluride in the same trip. They’re close on the map but the pass between them is one of the best drives in the country. ⠀ Which Colorado town would you move to tomorrow, or tell me the one I missed 👇
