Colorado is amazing! My uncle (rest in peace) had a house at 7000 elevation in a town called Ridgeway on the Western Slope of Colorado. It was about an hour or so from Telluride. We would go up there as a family and stay for a week or so during the summer. That was many many years ago. Now I live in Phoenix, it would have been nice to have that house to visit when it was a million degrees out lol.
