Winter Park, CO Travel Guide
There are a lot of cute mountain towns in Colorado, but our favorite is Winter Park! With it being only 1 hour and 15 minutes outside of Denver, it is one of the easier mountain towns to get to. I still feel like it is a hidden gem and not over crowded during the summer/winter months. My Father-In-Law has a condo at the Zephyr Mountain Lodge overlooking the base of the Gondola, so we are always up there visiting him :)
