Three of my most cherished memories in our minivan are when we went to Disney World, the beach, and the mountains. When I heard my parents talking about going to Disney World I was so excited.

The town and mountains of Telluride, Colorado, are a beautiful and welcoming place. It is full of Victorian charm and tall, jagged mountains. Every visitor to Telluride falls in love. From the little shops to the ski lifts, everything is quaint and cute. The entire town is on the U.S. national register of historic sites, but Telluride’s streets are still filled with smiling faces.

Colorado, known for the Rocky Mountains, is a gorgeous place to be. The rectangular state rich with wildlife, covers 104,185 square miles. In the black timber, it is dark and silent, not a sound to be heard. The thick pine trees block out most of the sunlight, only to see about seventy-five yards. The terrain is brutal, almost straight up and down, but the elk love it because it is a challenge for hunters to see them.
