The
purposes of traveling
are different for different people. There are some people who travel for the
sake of pleasure. The people that are heavily burdened either at their domestic
front or at their offices move too far off places for relieving their worries
and anxieties. The poets and writers make a trip to distant places for
collection of facts for their writings. Businessmen also visit various places
to enquire as to whether there are scopes for expansion of their business.
Travelling provides the benefit of sightseeing and gives pleasure to the
visitor. In addition, it gives a scope to an individual to have firsthand
knowledge of variegated people inhabiting the world. When you want to

Colorado knocks your socks off with epic mountain ranges, Great
Plains, enchanting national parks, ancient ruins, lively cities and lavish ski
resorts. Known as the Centennial State, Colorado is perhaps most famous for the
beautiful Rocky Mountains, which are quite literally the backbone of the state.
Colorado's capital, Denver, is a city you wish you could move to,
set upon high rolling plains with a spectacular mountain backdrop. Its home to
a buzzing arts scene and beautifully restored Victorian architecture. But if
you think Denver's cool, wait until you visit hip and happening Boulder. Here
you can hike towards the famous Flatirons that overlook the city, chill out in
one of the city's parks or cafés, cycle around like a local, enjoy a night out
on the Hill amid partying students, or take in one of many film and music
festivals.
For pure luxury, grab your platinum card and head to Aspen.
Beloved retreat of A-list celebrities and the ultra-wealthy, Aspen boasts
first-class ski lodges, luxurious shopping and dining, and a beautiful,
red-brick downtown area. If Aspen is a bit too exclusive (or expensive), try
Telluride, a picturesque, Old West town turned outdoor Mecca. Ski down fluffy
powder in winter, then hike, bike and raft to your heart's content in summer.
Colorado's national parks are equally exhilarating. The must-see
Rocky Mountain National Park crams in colossal peaks, lush green forests,
glistening lakes and endless meadows. Mesa Verde's impeccably preserved
ancestral Pueblo cliff dwellings are a sight to behold, while the mesmerizing
high desert of Great Sand Dunes National Park can't fail to impress.
