]]>If you are willing to to take a trip in search of a perfect camping spot, here are the best states to look for it.
Due to its big size and low population, Montana is an amazing place to look for peace and quiet. If you want to get lost in the wilderness and really experience camping in its basic form, this state will give you that opportunity. You’ll find plenty of campgrounds in state parks and other areas, but Glacier National Park should be your starting point.
Colorado is a state that invites you to be outdoors regardless of the time of the year. Its tall mountains, captivating scenery, and diverse nature make camping a special experience. Whether you like to be surrounded by trees or prefer to camp by the lake, you will be able to find a perfect spot for you. Rocky Mountain National Park is a good choice as any, but also consider Gunnison National Park and Mesa Verde National Park.
Being home to Yellowstone, one of the most spectacular national parks in the United States, it isn’t a wonder that Wyoming is such a fantastic place for camping. However, there are plenty of other places across this beautiful state where you can pitch your tent or park your RV, including state parks, private campgrounds, and even federal forests.

]]>Colorado is one of the most mountainous states in the U.S., with over 50 peaks above 14,000 feet. Located in the mid-west of the U.S., Colorado contains Rocky Mountain National Park, which has some of the most stunning mountains in the world and attracts over 4 million visitors each year. Skiing is also a popular winter activity in Colorado, and the town of Aspen is a very popular destination for skiers.
California is the second largest state in the U.S., and it contains an enormous range of landscapes including the desert of Death Valley National Park and several national forests. Yosemite National Park has some amazing mountains and rock formations as well as vast woodlands and waterfalls.
Alaska is a vast wilderness in the northwest corner of Northern America. It has the tallest mountain in North America (Denali at over 16,000 feet), some awe-inspiring glaciers, and a huge range of wild animals including grizzly bears, bald eagles, and giant moose. Alaska is however one of the most remote states in the U.S., and definitely not for the faint-hearted!

]]>Vail, Colorado, is home to the world-famous Vail Ski Resort, arguably the best ski resort in the nation. It is a perfect place to be during winter if you are a fan of winter sports, offering perfect conditions for skiing and snowboarding. But even if you don’t enjoy winter activities of this kind, you will have something to do in Vail, thanks to its shopping centers, fancy restaurants, and nightclubs.
There is something magical about New York City in winter. This already amazing city becomes even more special when everything is covered by snow. Its streets and parks are even more picture-perfect, the winter markets are bustling with life, there is an ice skate rink on every corner, and the Christmas lights shine brighter than any other place on Earth. What else could you ask for?
Finally, if you don’t like anything related to winter, simply go someplace warmer. Key West, Florida, is a perfect place to run away from cold weather thanks to its subtropical climate that guarantees warm weather even during the winter months. While everyone else freezes, you can relax on the beach, sip a cocktail, and enjoy the sun.

]]>The post Try This Leisurely Bike Trail if You’re Ever In Aspen, CO appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>The Rio Grande trail is built on the site of the former Aspen branch of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. Once the trains stopped running on this track around 40 years ago, the land was converted to a long bike trail between Aspen and Glenwood springs.
Because it is built on former railroad tracks, the trail isn’t hilly despite the mountainous region. Leaving from Aspen, it is a gentle downslope for most of the way, making for a fairly comfortable and easy ride. Of course, the region is beautiful, with the Roaring Fork River on one side and nature on the other.
The trail is about 42 miles, with several towns along the way at which you can stop. You can return to Aspen on a bus from one of these towns so that you never have to worry about biking uphill or in the dark. If you are planning a day trip, the ride from Aspen to the small town of Basalt is about 20 miles and the perfect length for leaving in the morning and returning on the bus. Just be sure to leave early enough that you’ll get to Basalt in time because buses don’t run late.

]]>In fact, the very fact that it isn’t as well-known as other National Parks is one of the things that adds to its appeal, as it’s less crowded and has more breathing room than places like Rocky Mountain National Park.
But that’s not all that Mesa Verde has to offer. In addition to being a National Park, Mesa Verde is also a World Heritage Site, filled with well-preserved homes and artifacts of the Ancestral Pueblo people.
It’s also a great place for bicycle riders, with trails that are some of the best for mountain bike riding in all of Colorado. Maintained by the local Kokopelli Bike Club, there are fitting trails for every ability and level.
The grounds of the park also have museums, vineyards, lots of dining options, a variety of wildlife (including several endangered species), and campgrounds, so there’s no shortage of things you can enjoy.

]]>Trust us when we say that this isn’t an ordinary amusement park. Thrill-seekers have to check out the park’s most famous ride, which is the Giant Canyon Swing. It’s a pendulum swing 1,300 feet above the Colorado River that moves four passengers back and forth over a cliff on top of a mountain. The swing almost goes vertical at points and it reaches a speed of 50 miles per hour.
And that’s not the only thrill ride the park offers—there’s the Alpine Coaster, a Haunted Mine Drop, a zip line, and tons of other roller coasters and rides. If fast-paced rides don’t excite you, you can take a scenic trip across a tramway, ride on the Mine Wheel, tour the taverns, head to the 4D theater, climb on the climbing wall, or play laser tag.
Prices start at $16 for kids and $21 for adults and they go up to $56 for kids and $61 for adults. The park is open Sunday-Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

]]>Most people come to Denver Botanic Gardens to admire the many natural wonders that it has in store, but that’s not the only reason to visit it. Its architecture is truly stunning, especially its Science Pyramid with signature dark grey tiles.
The journey through the richness of this museum starts even before you step inside. Designed by the Italian architect Gio Ponti, this building is covered with one million reflective glass tiles and its unusual shape was meant to break from traditional museum archetypes.
If imposing skyscrapers happen to be more of your thing, this is one building in Denver that you shouldn’t miss. Also known as the Wells Fargo Center, this high-rise is best known for its top floors that curve together, resembling vintage cash registers with its shape.

]]>One of the best ways to enjoy Colorado’s nature without taking a huge hike is on one of its many train routes. Here are three journeys that you should consider taking in order to see the best of the Centennial State.
The California Zephyr route between Chicago and Emeryville, California goes through Colorado and one of its most scenic areas, the upper Colorado River Valley. Even though this is just a regular old train route, travelers who use Amtrak in Colorado are amazed at the western half of the state’s beauty.
A restored steam train in southwestern Colorado connects the towns of Durango and Silverton and offers up a breathtaking trek through the mountainous canyon areas in between. The Animas River and the sharp surrounding slopes will awe you no matter what time of year you visit in.
The Royal Gorge is a canyon of the Arkansas River in central Colorado and the home of the Royal Gorge Route Railroad, a heritage train that gives passengers the chance to travel through a spectacular natural area in style and comfort.
