Colorado is a year-round tourist destination with its natural grandeur owing to its varied topography. Endowed with pristine alpine lakes, majestic Rocky Mountains, desert on Colorado Plateau, and numerous national parks, Colorado offers a lot to tourists. Rocky Mountain National Park, with over 100 peaks, is amongst the most visited and famous national parks in the United States. The park has numerous hiking trails, camping sites, and bouldering peaks. When in Colorado, one must visit Mesa Verde National Park to see the dramatic ruins at Cliff Palace. A rail ride on Durango and Silverton Narrow Gage Railway gives a peek into the cultural and historical remains of the place. To experience the beauty of the rustic lifestyle that the residents have embraced, as a tourist, one must opt to stay on a farm. Check out our list of the top farm stays in Colorado, USA.
