The Heat is Coming, but Not in the Colorado Rockies
June 15th, 2009 by Joseph
 For many summer is known for the 3H’s, heat, humidity and haze. The majority of the continental United States stifles during the months of July and August with one area of exception, the Rocky Mountain West.
The Colorado Rockies, literally within 45 minutes of downtown Denver is immune to the 3 H’s of summer. Due to topography, elevation and climate, the mountains of Colorado enjoy warm days, cool nights and very low humidity. There is a diversity of mountain communities and resorts from economical Keystone to historic Breckenridge. Winter Park, close to Grand Lake and Rocky Mountain National Park to Vail/Beaver Creek for those who desire to be pampered. Aspen’s cultural opportunities rival most major cities. Steamboat Springs brings with west to life. Telluride, a hidden gem in SW Colorado where every street is a “Kodak” moment.
For many in the United States, Colorado is an easy accessible destination. The Denver Airport is convenient to most mountain resorts via car or shuttle flight. For those driving, all our properties include free on-site parking. With gas and flight prices at historic lows, you do not have an excuse not to visit.
