I grew up in Northern California and now live in Texas. I miss the Sierra Nevada's so I started visiting Colorado which is amazing. I have been back there every year for my vacation for the last 5 years and I am always in awe of the beauty every time I go. If you are able to live in some of these area's mentioned you are truly fortunate. I read some of the comments below and well tourism is a double-edged sword for sure,..on the one hand many of these small communities get ALOT of thier revenue from people visiting their beautiful space However, .I get the animosity created out of living in a beautiful area and then suddenly you are either priced out or find yourself overwhelmed with tourists who don't have the same care and respect for your space.

Being a resident of Love land , we surprised to know we are living in one of the beautiful places. Since 1999, I have been living here and we visited most of villages in the state and neighboring places, but we like the places in CO. Thanks for protecting environment and it's beauty for next generations. We have to salute those people. Our responsibility to continue this eco system for future generations too.

I’m happy to say I’ve been to all these places, and they are all wonderful gems. I love my state.

I have been living in Idaho for over five years and I enjoy hiking alot. I feel like Colorado will be my next destination in the very near future. Looks like great place to live if you enjoy the outdoors.

I love Creede. It's my favorite town in the entire country.

1. Leadville 2. Alma 3. Buena vista 4. Lake city 5. Gateway 6. Pagosa springs 7. Creede

Loved Leadville, Buena Vista, Lake City, Salida and Tincup as well as my wife’s home area of Vail and surrounding towns

Thanks for putting this video together. I am born and raised in Grand Junction Colorado. You got some good spots on the list. I also recommend Orvis hot springs outside of Ouray, if you’re into Clothing optional places. You can add strawberry Hot Springs outside of steamboat as well. And finally if you’re on the front range Evergreen and Morrison are two very cool little towns just outside of Denver.

Very good vid. Have been to many of these places.

On the rare occasions that I get to smell fresh lilacs, I am transported to my childhood in Grand Junction.

Beautiful.I love Colorado!

My beautiful state! I am from the (Montrose CORA) Native American Tribe from western Colorado.👍🏾

Telluride. Ouray. Silverton. Wonderful towns to visit but not so great for living. They are hard to get to and real estate is limited and expensive.

It would be a service to mention that a big problem in many parts of southwestern Colorado we are experiencing drought. That makes water a serious issue, so if anyone wants to move here they should be aware.

These are all nice places! Great video. Thanks!

I live in Colorado I have been to about half of these places all good spots.

Telluride and ouray are easily some of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in my life. And I’ve been to Switzerland and Austria

I cannot believe how rude some of these comments are! It was a great video! Thank you for sharing some of the hidden gems in our beautiful country.

I have been to most of them. I agree they are hidden gems...
