Picture you and your sweetie, curled up in front of a warm fireplace, draped in a soft quilt, and sipping on hot cocoa. Sounds pretty peaceful, right? How about bringing a blanket and thermos of coffee to the top of a trail and watching the sun rise over mountains over 75 million years old? Travel to Rocky Mountains National Park in Colorado and you can have it all.
The Rocky Mountains deserves a visit no matter what the occasion, but Valentine's Day offers very special activities. If you are looking for a real retreat, check out an area known as Estes Park - located in between Rocky Mountain National Park and Roosevelt National Forest. Here, you will find romantic lodges that offer activities like sleigh rides, candlelit dinners, bubbling hot tubs, and gorgeous scenery.
With your nights cozied by a fire, spend the afternoons hiking - over 350 miles of trails - in the still woods, experimenting in arts programs, or mountain climbing (for the adventurous couple). The Rocky Mountains offer that picturesque winter wonderland you and your loved one have been looking for.
