The Great Outdoors

For many, visiting Colorado is a chance to get out and take part in the outdoors, and hiking the trails is one of the best ways to do that. At Gunnison National Forest, you can hike the Rustler’s Gulch trail, one of best known in the area, which runs for nine miles with over 1,700 feet of elevation gain. This out-and-back trail has fantastic landscapes and views of the virescent forest all around, and there are waterfalls to find. While the previous trail is for more experienced hikers, there are still many more trails in the area that range from easy-breezy to hard and challenging. One easy trail is the two-mile-long Judd Falls Trail, which features a spectacular view of a waterfall. This trail shouldn’t take long to finish and will leave you with plenty of time to do some exploring with your RV rental from Penrose.

Colorado is known for its whitewater rafting and world-class rapids and this part of the state is the perfect place to hit the rapids. Near Penrose, many whitewater rafting outfitters and guides will take you on the nearby Arkansas River where you can experience easy Class II Rapids to challenging and adrenaline-inducing Class V Rapids that are sure to make an impression. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, rent a motorhome in Penrose and hit the rapids.

In the winter, there is no better place to hit the slopes and drink hot cocoa than Colorado. Sure, Aspen is known around the country as a skiing destination, but there are many more resorts in this state. The nearest ski resort to Penrose is the Crested Butte Mountain Resort, which has many trails and slopes to hit. There are classes available if your skills are rusty or if you’ve never done it before. This is an excellent activity for the whole family and one of the best things to do in Colorado during the winter time. Farther south, the Telluride Ski Resort is another option, but it’s a bit far with your RV rental in Penrose. The ski resorts in Colorado are some of the best in the country, so don’t miss out on all the fun.

RV Parks

After traveling the state in search of the next great adventure, you might decide to call it a day and find yourself searching for somewhere to sleep and, most importantly, park. Fortunately, this part of Colorado is in no short supply of RV parks. Just nearby in Colorado Springs, you can stop by Mountaindale Cabins and RV Resort, which is surrounded by trees and has plenty of parking spaces for your Penrose RV rental. There are many other RV parks and resorts in the area that have amenities that range from fast Wi-Fi to laundry rooms and much more.

While staying at an RV park may provide many of the comforts and amenities you are used to, sometimes you might just need a place to park for a night or two. In this case, travel to the nearest Walmart and ask the manager for permission to park in the lot.

Exploring The City

By this point, it is clear that Colorado provides a variety of outdoor adventures, but going to the city and exploring the concrete jungles of cities like Denver and Boulder are their own kind of adventure. In Denver, there is so much to do that you might need to create an itinerary, but at least you won’t be bored. Whether it’s caching a game with the local professional football team or visiting the orchestra for a riveting instrumental performance, Denver has much more to offer than you realize.

Boulder, which isn’t too far from Denver, is known for its love of beer and trendy food spots. Take your time driving through both of these cities with your camper rental from Penrose, and see all the attractions. Penrose is a small town, but Colorado is full of experiences you won’t find anywhere else — not like this.
