Cross-Country Hiking and BackpackingHiking and back-packing are one of the biggest selling points of Colorado’s great outdoors. There are hundreds of different options when choosing the area, difficulty and length of an excursion. The area’s state and national parks are prime destinations for nature enthusiasts, but there are also plenty of other local trails and destinations to visit across the entire state.
Long-Distance and Guided TripsColorado is a big state and there is a lot to see, especially if you want to get a broader perspective on some of the state’s most magnificent natural features. Taking advantage of outdoor ATV jeep rentals to enable a long and detailed tour of the Flat Tops Wilderness or portions of the Rocky Mountain National Park can be a great way to make the most of your time. Traveling with local guides can also present an unparalleled opportunity to learn and build new experiences. Hunting, Fishing and Wildlife ToursColorado’s wildlands are also teeming with opportunities for outdoor sportsmen and wildlife lovers. Bird and animal-watch tours take place across the state throughout the year in timing with seasonal developments in local wildlife. The state’s many freshwater lakes, streams and rivers provide ample opportunity for fishing enthusiasts to hone their skills. The region also features lively hunting opportunities in their appropriate season. Skiing and SnowshoeingEven though winter can hold Colorado in a cold and icy grip for months on end, the state’s wilderness still presents an attractive opportunity for snow lovers. Whether you want to ski down slopes on a mountain or pull yourself across a cross-country landscape, there are plenty of destinations to suit your tastes. Locals and visitors can also participate in snowshoe tours or break out their snowboard to enjoy the slopes in style. It may not be home to the country’s greatest beaches or biggest cities, but Colorado’s beautiful blend of civilization and wilderness makes it a prime destination for tourists. Even as you look for ways to enjoy the state’s wildlands, it’s also important to take personal safety seriously and prepare for the possible risks you can encounter in wilderness areas.
