SURROUNDING ATTRIBUTES Telluride Ski ResortTelluride, CO

McPhee Recreation AreaDolores, CO

Telluride Ski Resort is considered one of Colorado’s best ski resorts and one of the best in the country—and for good reason. More than 2,000 skiable acres and 4,425-foot vertical drop: 23 percent beginner, 36 percent intermediate, 41 percent expert/advanced. The small, 8-by-12 block town itself is an adorable, European-style village set in a canyon of tall mountain peaks. Although it is most well-known as a winter destination, music and food festivals draw visitors in the warmer months.

McPhee Reservoir is the fifth largest lake in Colorado. It provides one of the best spots in Southwest Colorado for warm weather, big lake fun.

It’s the largest lake in the San Juan National Forest, with a beautiful topography of piñon, juniper, and sagebrush trees. Things to do at the McPhee Recreation Area include boating, fishing, camping, hiking and biking.

Mesa Verde National ParkDurango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Mancos, CO Railroad-Durango, CO Durango, Colorado was founded by the Denver & Rio Grande Railway in 1879. The railroad arrived in Durango on August 5, 1881 and construction on the line to Silverton began in the fall of the same year. By July of 1882, the tracks to Silverton were completed, and the train began hauling both freight and passengers.

This historic train has been in continuous operation between Durango and Silverton since 1882, carrying passengers behind vintage steam locomotives and rolling stock indigenous to the line. It is a family-friendly ride sure to create memories that will last a lifetime while offering a view of Colorado’s mountain splendor inaccessible by highway. Relive the sights and sounds of yesteryear for a spectacular journey on board the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

Located in Southwest Colorado, Mesa Verde, Spanish for green table, offers a spectacular look into the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo people who made it their home for over 700 years, from AD 600 to 1300. Today the park protects nearly 5,000 known archeological sites, including 600 cliff dwellings. These sites are some of the most notable and best preserved in the United States. Mesa Verde is always open, but opportunities vary from season to season.

Groundhog Reservoir State Wildlife Area - Dolores County, Colorado Backed by the striking silhouette of Lone Cone Mountain, Groundhog is the largest body of water in Dolores County and a remote destination that is mostly accessible from May through September. Although the reservoir frequently seems empty of birds, a spotting scope will usually reveal good numbers of ducks and Western and Eared Grebes; sometimes shorebirds, Bald Eagles or Ospreys, and even Surf Scoters have been seen. This is also one of the best places in Colorado to find Purple Martins, which nest in the aspen groves near the water and sometimes forage over the parking lot. The wet meadow and aspen habitats surrounding the reservoir can serve up breeding birds like Lincoln’s and Fox Sparrows. Elk are common in the area, as are deer, coyotes, foxes, and the marmots for which the reservoir is named.
