66. Yep, add Colorado to the vacation wish list!!!

Yikes, there is a lot of outdoor activity for people a lot younger than I! It seems like it may be a paradise found if you like to do a lot of outdoor activity.

For myself, I would want to take in the natural beauty of the state by taking scenic drives. There sure seems to be a lot of that for the asking in Colorado! This paragraph from the tourism website just about sums up what I would be looking for in a vacation:

NATURAL BEAUTY
Discover Colorado’s stunning natural landscape. From the highest sand dunes in North America to 54 mountain peaks over 14,000 feet, Colorado has one of the most unique and varied natural landscapes in the entire nation. As you travel through the state, you’ll see emerald green forests, fields of vibrant wildflowers as far as the eye can see, picturesque mountain lakes, abundant grasslands and rich red rock formations. You’ll find many places to enjoy Colorado’s vast natural beauty. There are four national parks, five national monuments and 42 state parks waiting to be explored. If you’re looking for a beautiful drive, Colorado is also home to 25 scenic and historic byways, noted for their distinct qualities. They include ghost towns, ancient ruins, alpine tundra, some of the oldest trains in the West and much more. Wherever you go in Colorado, have your camera ready for pictures of the postcard-perfect beauty.
