What are some fun things to do in the winter in Colorado?
- Rocky Mountain Stables (Granby): Located just 68 miles from Denver, this horseback riding experience is unforgettable, especially in a wonderland of snow. The Winter Trail Ride journeys through the breathtaking Rocky Mountains where you'll want to keep your eyes open for snowshoe hares, foxes, and moose. Enjoy the scenery of the wooded aspen forest and sweet little valley. Know you're in good hands as the guides are experts in handling the horses. In addition to adults, it's a great ride for younger children ages 8 and up.
- Cheyenne Mountain Resort (Colorado Springs): What could be prettier than a backdrop of a sweeping mountainscape and 316 guest rooms and suites? And this isn't a typical stay with eight residential lodges from which to choose. Some of the amenities include Alluvia Spa Lemongrass Sage bath products, plush bedding, a Keurig coffeemaker, and high-speed internet. Three restaurants round this stay out, including Elevations, a rustic restaurant and bar; the more laid-back Gates Grille at the Pete Dye–designed golf course; and have your scrumptious, daily breakfast buffet at Mountain View Restaurant.
- Aspen Ice Karting (Carbondale): This exciting pop-up ice kart rental facility sits on the lovely frozen Kodiak Ski Lake near Aspen, Colorado. The unique activity that makes your heart race is only open between Christmas and late February, weather permitting. The ultimate winter driving experience comes by way of 5 CRG frame karts with 12 HP Brigg and Stratton engines, providing enough torque to ride between 45 to 50 mph! And for traction on the ice, the karts come with Heidenau snow tires and Kold Kutter ice screws.
