Winter Vs Summer in Colorado

One of many features that make Colorado's prettiest towns so popular is they look great year-round. Telluride, Colorado is breathtaking during the winter, but that trip up the gondola during the summer months is hard to beat. If you've seen the Colorado National Monument during the summer you should really come see the red rocks painted in snow during the winter. Places like Evergreen Lake on the Front Range offer a cool escape during the summer and a perfect ice skating surface in the winter. It is always a pretty place to visit. Let's find some more places like these.
