Top 10 Geologic Formations in Colorado, United States
Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

Scenic Colorado mountain range.

Beautiful and fun to drive through to view wildlife (elk and mule deer in the fall), awesome drive up the one-way dirt Old Fall River Road, amazing aspens in the alluvial fan/endo valley area, cool to stop by the ranger stations/visitor centers and learn as much as you can about the mountains and wildlife. Rangers are more than happy to answers your questions. Become a junior ranger and learn about the ecosystems which make up the Rocky Mountain National Park, hike around Sprague Lake and Bear Lake (my favorite!), stop at Many Parks Curve, check out Moraine Park in the evening to watch the elk herds and just enjoy the beauty of nature.

Beautiful area, great for walking. It's a big far/steep for toddler legs, so be prepared to carry little ones. But even if you don't get very far before turning around, the trip to see the park is worthwhile. Great couple of hours of sunshine, fresh air, and hiking for our family.

We camped in the area and then drove all the way up to Sneffel's trailhead, such a beautiful area with lake, waterfall and flowers. I would love to come back and explore and hike more.

How does that happen? Oh, I know all about intrusive vulcanism. But looking at the painted wall makes in unbelievable. There across the Canyon from the viewpoint is a solid rock wall that has all sorts of striations on it. And even a dragon (with a bit of imagination). We saw the Wall from the Cedar Point viewpoint. And it was most impressive. We made a game out of trying to see figures in the 'paint'. This was a bonus. The Canyon is amazing. But this is amazing all by iteslf. Good stop.

If you're driving through this area, you have to make this stop. It's a quick walk from the parking lot to the waterfall viewing area and this waterfall is impressive!
