COLORADO Silver Thread scenic byway near Creede Near South Fork 8 Take a Scenic Ride JEFF CRICO PHOTOGRAPHY; ANDREW MAGUIRE Our 26 scenic byways connect the dots between historic sites and acres of majestic scenery that span red-rock canyons, Rocky Mountain peaks and sun-kissed prairies. The byways are truly a collection of must-see vistas. Picking a couple — and coming back for more later — will ensure you understand the true meaning of Colorful Colorado. Rent or bring your own electric vehicle and head out on one of our 17 certified Electric Byways, each with charging stations spaced out just right for seeing the sights. Or consider our scenic and historical railroads, which have held travelers’ fascination since the 1800s. From multiday journeys to day trips with five-star dining experiences or seasonal encounters with Santa, you’ll carve through jagged gorges and find yourself hugging steep cliffs on narrow-gauge tracks or traversing the banks of crystal-blue rivers. Come winter, the mountains open to snowmobilers gliding across trails and fields of powder in the crisp, dry air. Find yourself on a meandering, family-friendly jaunt or opt for a high-speed odyssey over endless snowy hills. COLORADO . COM 19
