Hiking gems in western Colorado that took our breath away and have brought us back every year. Starting with the best little mountain towns in Colorado, Ouray, Ridgway, and Telluride. However, the western slope is a variety of unique landscapes, from cacti to petroglyphs, to vistas, to areas far beyond the high mountain passes. When the passes are still covered in snow in spring, the high deserts of Colorado are calling… with sunshine and warmth.
