Like most mountain towns, Glenwood Springs offers up all the activities that one would expect: skiing, rafting, mountain biking, golfing, lakes for fishing, and more. One of the things that Glenwood Springs has to offer vacationers that not all other mountain towns have is their hot springs. You’ll find both the Yampah Spa Vapor Caves [...]
Think about the laundry savings. Arrive Saturday with only the clothes you’re wearing, relax and play the entire weekend, then depart Sunday with those garments barely wrinkled. It can be done at Mountain Air Ranch, Colorado’s only family nudist resort.
Hanging around in the buff is nothing new. One in three Americans admits to skinny-dipping in [...]
Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa is as close as one can stay to Beaver Creek Ski Resort. In fact, the ski lift is just outside the door where the ski valet hands guests pre-warmed boots.
Upon entering the 190-room hotel, guests find themselves in the Antler Hall, a large gathering place with fireplaces, lounge [...]
My idea of a perfect weekend escape with friends? Two nights at a nearby (but not too close) hotel, pampering spa treatments, fine dining and plenty of outdoor activity. Throw in some red wine and lots of late-night girl talk, and I return home refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to tackle real life again.

Sixty-hour work weeks do not promote good health or a balanced lifestyle. My husband and I were mentally weary and physically spent. We knew we needed some “me” and “we” time.
Now here is the “kicker.” We only had one night for our quick getaway. How could we possibly feel relaxed and restored in one day? [...]
Over the Super Bowl’s 45-year history, I’ve viewed the game from all the usual TV venues.
I’ve watched it from bars, dorms, homes, motels, hotels, airports and cruise ships.
I’ve seen it at a church with fans cheering the team bearing the Christian-most quarterback. I’ve endured parties where women cackled during plays and men wolf-whistled through commercials, [...]
About a dozen skiers stood on top of Gold Hill Ridge at Telluride Ski Resort on a brisk December weekday. We stamped our feet and huffed into our mittens while gaping at the expansive scene: a series of 13,000- and 14,000-foot peaks set against a light azure sky. But we weren’t thinking of the view.
