There is practically no sport that cannot be undertaken in Colorado. At numerous lakes, even water sports, such as water skiing, are on offer. Nevertheless, in the state with many mountains it is skiing which is most popular, as several world-famous winter sports areas are located here. The most popular ski destination in the USA is Vail, in the surroundings of which almost 100 good pistes can be found. The most exclusive, however, is undoubtedly Aspen, which has made its name as the holiday destination of many celebrities from the worlds of film, television, and music.
During the summer, Colorado's landscape is also tailor-made for a range of sporting activities, with examples including mountaineering, hiking, cycling, and mountain-biking. Rafting, kayaking, and canoeing are also very popular. Steamboat Springs offers particular fun on the water in summer. One can hire rubber tubes and lorry tyres from the sports shops and drift down the Yampa River on them. There is also a range of outdoor sporting activities for those who prefer things a little less adventurous, above all this includes golf. Over 200 magnificent courses are scattered across the state, which make the sport even more attractive through their superb location.
