"Colorado is consistently ranked as one of the healthiest states in the country," said Katie Tamony, Sunset editor-in-chief. "When you spend some time in this land of majestic mountains, roaring rivers, and lush valleys any time of year, it's easy to see why. While we're fans of the entire Centennial State at Sunset, we're particularly fond of its Western stretch due to the preponderance of historic Old West towns and a thriving sense of adventure, from top-notch Colorado ski resorts to amazing biking terrain. What's more, at chic Vail, Telluride, and Aspen hotels, you'll find incomparable elegance to balance out all that glorious outdoorsy-ness for those times you need to be pampered."
