What to do and see in Colorado, United States: The Best Playgrounds

November 14, 2021 Hana Mouser

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?

I had my first ever zip lining experience here and it was a blast. Our tour guides, Jake and Caroline, were absolutely terrific. They were super encouraging, had great personalities, and provided such an incredible overall experience. There were some pretty sweet views of Castle Rock’s beauty, as well! If you get the opportunity to do this tour, I highly recommend it!

This park is great for a family outing. It is right along the river, and the play ground is great. There are many trees for shade and a great place for a picnic.
