Colorado

Average flight time from UK: 9h 40m                    Capital: Denver
 

Embark on a timeless journey through Colorado, where the echoes of the Ancestral Pueblo people permeate through the cliff-carved dwellings of Mesa Verde National Park, whispering ancient stories of life and innovation. As your spirit entwines with the boundless whispers of the Wild West, explore a rich tapestry woven with historic forts, evocative ghost towns, and immersive dude ranches, all while a seamless bridge between the storied past and the vibrant modernity of urban hubs like Denver and Fort Collins unfolds before you.

 

Yet, amidst the echoes of history and the splendor of towering peaks like the Rocky Mountains, Colorado serenades with more than just natural and historic wonders. A chorus of bubbling brews serenades from cities renowned for their beer craftsmanship. With the reputation of producing more barrels of beer per year than any other U.S. state, venture into the heart of Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver, and Colorado Springs to uncover spirited craft breweries. Engage in intimate tours, indulge in tastings of local concoctions, and perhaps, find yourself amidst the jubilant atmosphere of a beer festival, such as the Great American Beer Festival in Denver.

 

Every adventure through Colorado’s landscapes tells a different story, from the over 54 “fourteeners” – peaks reaching over 14,000ft – to the kaleidoscopic display of aspen trees, turning the land into a mesmerizing mosaic of red and gold from mid-September to mid-October. Traverse Independence Pass for breathtaking vistas, or perhaps, for an alternative vantage point, immerse yourself in the majestic autumn spectacle aboard the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad.

But the symphony of Colorado does not merely echo through its natural realms. The Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a unique and globally singular acoustically perfect arena, set amidst the scenic Red Rocks Park, has welcomed global icons like U2 and Coldplay beneath its open skies. Before the melodies begin, explore the trails surrounding and indulge in a guided tour at the venue’s Visitor Centre.

 

Moreover, Denver, famously known as the Mile High City, presents itself as a shopper’s paradise, boasting the largest shopping district between San Francisco and St. Louis. In Cherry Creek, over 500 shops, spas, and galleries await to be explored, from high-end brands in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center to unique, quintessential Colorado offerings in Cherry Creek North.

 

In a state where every mountain, forest, city, and dune becomes a chapter of your unwritten story, Colorado invites you to weave a journey through vibrant cultures, awe-inspiring natural wonders, and mindful appreciation. Answer the enticing call of the wild and the sophisticated allure of the urban, and let your story unfold in the enchanting realms of Colorado.
