Colorado is home to an abundance of colour provided by Mother Nature – from fiery sunsets and red rock canyons to mountains dotted with wildflowers throughout summer, developing into red, gold, orange and yellow hues as the fall colours decorate the state from late August to October.

Vibrant days are met with equally stunning night skies, as parks and wilderness areas with low light pollution are perfect for stargazing in the warmer temperatures of summer and autumn.

So what’s new in Colorado for summer/fall?

Here’s just a sample:

• The 130-year-old Glenwood Hot Springs resort is unveiling a major renovation that includes an Adventure River with fast-moving waters, cascading tiers and boulders and a children’s play area
• Colorado Springs launches 2019 Craft Beer Digital Passport for free drink offers at 20 local craft beer stops in the city, cheers!
• Glenwood Springs becomes 7th city in the USA to use 100% renewable electricity
• Dinosaur fossils have been found in Denver – Denver Museum of Nature & Science confirms bones from Triceratops discovered in Highlands Ranch, 12 miles south of Colorado’s capital.
• New glamping options open for fall season at River Run RV Resort near Rocky Mountain National Park, including furnished yurts and Conestoga Wagons.
