Do you want to take your romance to soaring heights? Try the 14,110 foot high Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs. Located 70 miles from Denver and easily accessible from Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak is open year round.

For the outdoor lovers, you can celebrate togetherness by river rafting, mountain biking, fishing, skiing and horseback riding. There are a host of options to stay, ranging from hotels with five star ratings to Bed and Breakfasts.

| Aspen |
Aspen? That winter playground for the rich and famous? Not for me. Think again! Aspen offers fantastic deals, especially if you avoid the peak season. Young romancers can soak in the million dollar views while camping, or from the inexpensive hotels that do exist if you look hard enough. Under good driving conditions, the distance from Denver to Aspen can be completed in less than four hours, or you can choose to fly into Aspen from the Denver airport. The majesty of the Rockies takes your breath away. There are many restaurants in Aspen and lots to do. Skiing, white water rafting, horseback riding, biking, hiking, paragliding, and finally, settling down near a campfire. Your romantic spirit will be kindled as never before.

| Skiing In Vail |
Just seeing the beauty of the Rockies is enough to get your romantic hormones flowing. Who wouldn't love to get up close to the Rockies and spend a weekend in Vail, one of the best known ski resorts in the US? Located about 100 miles from Denver, you can choose a romantic drive along I-70, or fly into Vail’s local airport. For the true romantics, you can travel twelve miles further to Piney Lake for some truly breathtaking views. If you both share a love for the outdoors, you can go white water rafting, biking, golfing, or hiking the innumerable trails. Ride to the top of the mountain on America’s First Gondola, which, beware, can be a little pricey. And of course, the main attraction here is skiing. Ski down the slopes, with the cold wind on your face and experience the beauty of nature as never before.

| Buena Vista |
Are you a romantic with a flair for adventure? Buena Vista, meaning "Good View" in Spanish, is the perfect place to visit with your love! This is the home to numerous "14ers," as the above 14000 ft. peaks are referred to collectively. A 137 mile drive, which can be covered in 2 hours, is all that it takes to get you to this ancient mining center with only one traffic light. While the breathtaking views of Mt. Princeton and Mt. Harvard form the backdrop, you can go hiking the Barbara WhippieTrail, river rafting in the Arkansas River, and at the end of the day, enjoy the hot spring spas that dot the area. A short drive takes you to the crystal clear Cottonwood Lakes, where, if you are lucky, you might be the only couple in sight! What a perfect way to enjoy each other's company.
