Colorado Official State Vacation Guide 2008 - (Page 9) Mount Zirkel Wilderness ©Eric Wunrow Strike up a conversation with a local, and they’ll most likely send you to some cool places. ey could tell you to check out the hot-air balloon festival that’s being held tomorrow just outside town. Or they might share the goods on a wicked mogul run that’s never crowded. In Colorado, the conversation often yields secret places, uncharted adventures and new friends. So as we created this vacation planner, we thought we’d ask the locals for their insight on what’s cool, what’s fun and where you should prioritize your time. Whether it is an authentic cowboy near Telluride, a life-long Colorado angler on his favorite river or someone who has taken the chile roasting craft in Pueblo to a new level, we think you’ll pick up some great ideas for your next Colorado trip (we know we learned a thing or two). So take these stories to heart and make a game plan. Remember, there are always more vacation ideas on Colorado.com — brought to you by Coloradans, of course.
