According to writers, Colorado's top pick is Telluride ! Travel sites have been enamored with this popular mountain town and for good reason. Who can resist scenic gondola rides, gorgeous alpine views, hiking trails, amazing nature getaways, and a dizzying amount of activities? Here's why it's getting the spotlight:

"Telluride has been voted the best small town to visit by several sources, including US News & World Report. It’s easy to see why. Once an old west mining town, Telluride hasn’t changed much at all. It’s surrounded by mountains and has a huge waterfall that’s visible from the town. Many people visit to ski, but the warmer months have tons of other outdoor activities. Anyone in Telluride should also visit the historical museum, which was an old hospital that dates back to 1896."
