Remember, your Colorado Teardrop is meant to go just about everywhere, but please do your homework and make sure you know all the rules at your destination before you hit the road. It is a singular pleasure you won’t find in very many other locations. Pro Tip: if you can, when you roll into Telluride or Crested Butte use the off-road mountain passes. Bonus, the chances of seeing wildlife from beavers to elk are pretty high. The views are stunning and easily the most “Colorado” scenery around. With so many great hikes, so close to town, there are simply too many to name. Another “ski” town that shines just as bright in the summer Crested Butte is a great family trip. We don’t like to pick favorites because there are so many great places to take your Colorado Teardrop, but Crested Butte is close to the top of our list for so many reasons. Plan longer and see Canyonlands and Moab at the same time if you can. Also, make sure you give yourself enough time to see it all. Make sure you plan ahead if you’re Moab-bound. And, yes, it can get a little crowded at peak times. Now, more and more people are catching on to the magic that is Moab. Moab has long been a top destination for the outdoor enthusiast. While the views haven’t changed, the list of activities has grown. If you’ve been but it was a while ago, it might be time to revisit. Speaking of Utah, you have to make time to get to Moab this year. Also, make sure you’ve got lots of room on your camera/phone for pictures because the views are out of this world. Since it is part of the National Parks System, do your homework before heading out. You’ll find there is no shortage of hiking, biking, camping (and MUCH more). Offering a beautiful change of scenery from the Colorado trees and peaks, Canyonlands National Park is in south eastern Utah. We like Canyonlands so much we decided to name a Colorado Teardrop after it. Best of all, you can’t beat the views in and around Telluride. Telluride’s official site has tons of great info about camping, hiking, river sports and, of course, camping. You’ll find festivals, arts, culture and summertime fun to keep you busy outside for weeks. Close to the San Juan Mountains, Telluride is actually in a canyon surrounded by peaks and forests. Telluride is full of great outdoor fun all year. Also, the San Juan Mountains Association knows the region better than anyone. The Outdoor Project offers 10 great reasons to put SJM on your list this summer. Check out these two sites if you need more info. And it’s got access to all kinds of outdoor activities – you can hike, fish, bike, or just sit back and take it all in. SJM is unique because of the jagged mountains juxtaposed with the high plateaus. San Juan Mountainsįirst on our list has to be the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico. We’d also love to hear from you…what are your favorite places to camp?
