lol thanks, guys.... but keep in mind, we don't want the phisical part of vacationing in colorado... my mother is handicap, we were wanting maybe historical sites, 'american castles', tours that we can take, etc. I am in the country, and my mom is in Denver, so, we were kind of wanting to stay away from the big cities. Thanks in advance!!!

I think Estes Park is kind of a fun location. Even if you don't want to do anything particularly outdoorsy, it offers a lot of picturesque views and quaint lilttle B&B's, and also there are some cool shops there. I also really enjoy Vail Village, even if you don't plan on skiing, because of the cute little stores and great restaurants.

If you want to travel in Colorado, I suggest Aspen. It's incredible in the summer. You can hike, you can walk, there are all the beauty of the mountains and the view from the top it's incredible. You can also visit Vail and Snow Mass.Take the Natural Trails.
You will find the Ice Cavern, you can go on a boat for rafting and there's much more! Have fun
