We went between Christmas and New Year's and it was crazy busy. We were accomodated, but you could tell the town was taxed by the volume of people. Try to avoid this time if possible.

It's a beautiful place, but annoyingly pretentious. It is not as frenetic as the ski resorts along I-70 like Vail or Breckenridge, but not as convenient for most people either. I have only been there in the summer, so I don't know how it is during the winter, but I would imagine it's even busier than during the summer. There are a lot of conveniently located hiking and mountain biking trails right next to town that I took advantage of which is nice because I like a lot of exercise. The landscape is greener here because the area gets a little more precipitation throughout the year that most other parts of Colorado which is pleasant. The Strawberry Park Hot Springs is the nicest of the small hot springs pools I have seen in Colorado so far, but I prefer the hot springs at Glenwood Springs for its aesthetics, size and convenience to the Denver area. Overall a nice place to visit for the aesthetics, hiking and mountain bike riding, but I found the arrogant and pretentious nature of some of the people in the area annoying. For a summer vacation with all of the hiking, access to bigger mountains, just as much mountain biking and, for now, less annoying and pretentious people I would recommend going to Buena Vista.

5/5 - Excellent
