Preview: What the sunshine is to Arizona, New Mexico and southern California, the clear mountain air is to southern Colorado. The state has 1,000 peaks that reach 10,000 feet or above, and 54 peaks that top 14,000 feet. Coupled with an average of more than 310 days of sunshine per year, this has made Colorado a year-around tourist mecca. And why not? There are plenty of wide open spaces in which to go sightseeing, fish, hunt, ski, hike, play golf, or engage in whatever form of recreation appeals to you. Colorado is definitely not overcrowded. The entire state has the same population as Los Angeles, and only half the population of New York City. While Colorado ranks eighth in size geographically, it ranks a mere 26th in terms of population. The state’s largest city, and capital, Denver has a population of only half a million people. This chapter contains the most magical places to stay, the best restaurant discoveries, the fun activities and special moments that a couple will remember forever.
