Exploring Colorado’s two major cities where the Great Plains transform
into the Rocky Mountains might just be one of the most surprising
trips you’ll ever take. Did you know that sunny days in both Denver
and Colorado Springs outnumber rain and snow by over two to one,
and temperatures in both cities average 45F or above, even during the
coldest winter months?

the chance to experience all the outdoor activities that make this part
of America such a popular spot for sports lovers as well as the place

countless craft breweries, and plenty of arts, music, and cultural
attractions into the mix and it’s no surprise why Colorado’s Rocky
Mountain gateway cities are the place to be.
