Ridgway State Park, Colorado

Listen, they don’t call it Colorful Colorado for no reason--and Ridgway State Park is the epitome of that ‘ish! Looking for sick sunsets to photograph? Done! Want to hike and bike the “Switzerland of America?” Right here! Wanna ice climb some of the best sites in the state? Ridgway! And let’s not forget visiting the town of Ouray (we hear there are ah-mazing hot springs there). Summer will have you fishing and swimming in the reservoir, Autumn will have you jumping on top of your car like Ansel Adams for the perfect shot of the fall foliage. There is no wrong way to do Ridgway, this is a park you want to put at the top of your list.
