Our walk of the district was marred with snow but that didn't stop us. The historic fronts of the building took you back in time.

Nice area to walk around and check out the shops. It's beautiful with the mountains in the background. The public bathrooms are also very high tech and surprisingly were very clean!

All kinds of stores, boutiques and restaurants in the Old Colorado City. Wait to buy souvenirs until you go here, as they have very reasonable prices along with really nice clothing you won't find at most stores. Another more sizes, design and styles available at these stores.

Great place to spend a weekend. Food, shops, nightlife. Big enough to meet new people, while small enough to feel like a local secret.
