ROMANTIC WINTER GETAWAYS
From the big city lights of downtown Denver to the quiet escape of snow-capped mountains, the Centennial State is the perfect destination for couples and hopeless romantics. Couples can enjoy a range of experiences, from a pampering massage at a luxury resort or drinks at a chic restaurant to cuddling in front of a roaring fireplace in a rustic cabin, or even a sleigh ride in the mountains. Below are a few selections for some of the top romantic activities in Colorado.
Soak with your sweetie in soothing hot springs, where naturally heated mineral waters melt away stress. Outdoor soaks at locations like the The Springs Resort in Pagosa Springs or the secluded Dunton Hot Springs in Dolores, provide an exceptional opportunity to stay warm on a winter evening, while stargazing at the romantic dance of twinkling light.
Wrangle up your darling for a weekend at one of Colorado's dude and guest ranches. Relax by a cozy fireplace, relish in a romantic candlelight dinner, and enjoy a private horseback ride for two.
If you’re ready to take a relationship to the next level, the town of Loveland is home to the annual Mountaintop Matrimony ceremony, held every Valentine's Day. If you want to be part of the day, without tying the knot, consider posting a card from the town on Valentine’s Day - Loveland reposts more than 300,000 Valentine cards each year.
Take a romantic sleigh ride and dash past snow-frosted pines while bundled under heavy blankets. The soft jingle of bells on the horse’s tack and the rhythmic crunch of hooves on packed snow add to the ambiance. Most resort towns and dude ranches offer sleigh rides, and can be scheduled through a concierge, over the phone or online. For more information, visit Colorado.com/SleighRides
