The Rocky Mountains
 All
of the places mentioned so far are to the west of the Rocky
mountains,
which are themselves worth touring.
There is a National Park covering the central Rockies, but there
are also many state parks dotting the area from the Canadian border
down to the southern part of the range in New Mexico where one can
picnic and hike and enjoy the landscape. The streams in the Rockies
are a trout
fisherman's paradise. Also, various old mining towns still retaining
a certain 19th century charm provide entertaining sites to visit.
During the winter months, travel along the roads is difficult because
of the snow. Yet it is the snow that attracts many people to such
towns as Aspen and Vail, where skiing down mountain slopes is the
major attraction.
