Things To Do in Colorado
• Cheer American football team, the Denver Broncos (website: www.denverbroncos.com) to victory at Invesco Field, Mile High Stadium.
• Explore the 16th Street Mall, a tree-lined promenade in the heart of the city, running between downtown Denver and Union Station. Popular with shoppers, it is always alive with pedestrians, cafes, street performers and fountains.

• Ski the Rocky Mountains (website: www.nps.gov/romo), renowned the world over for unparalleled skiing, quaint mountain towns, world-class accommodation and spectacular scenery. Aspen (website: www.aspenchamber.org) is America's most sophisticated ski resort, offering a full range of winter and summer activities and countless restaurants and shops.
• Ski or snowboard in Summit County, home to the popular ski resorts of Keystone (website: www.keystone.snow.com) (with the longest ski season in the state), Arapahoe Basin (website: www.arapahoebasin.com), Copper Mountain (website: www.coppercolorado.com) and Breckenridge (website: www.breckenridge.snow.com).

• Soak in the world's largest natural hot springs pool at Glenwood Springs (website: www.hotspringspool.com), surrounded by soaring mountain peaks.
• Step back in time exploring St Elmo's, Colorado's best-preserved ghost town built around a mining camp in Chalk Creek Canyon.
• Try your hand at fly fishing, float over mountain vistas in a hot air balloon, or go tubing on the Yampa River in the popular western-style town of Steamboat Springs (website: www.steamboat-chamber.com). In winter hit the ski slopes for unforgettable champagne powder snow.
