Things to do in Colorado, United States: The Best Mass Transportation Systems
Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

1. Telluride Mountain Village Gondola
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,916 reviews
One of the most unique forms of public transportation connects Mountain Village to Telluride offering stunning 360-degree views of the San Juan Mountains that extend as far away as Utah. The gondola, the first and only free public transportation of its kind in the United States opened in 1996 and was initially built to help improve air quality while expanding the ski area. It is entirely free to commuters and sightseers. Since then, it has become a popular attraction for residents and visitors alike, giving them a stunning ride that caps out at 10,540 feet above sea level. Approximately 3 million passenger rides annually – and safely – and more than 50 million passenger trips have been provided since opening day. The gondola operates roughly 287 days each year with routine maintenance scheduled during our shoulder season months. It takes about 12 minutes to get from the Town of Telluride to Mountain Village Village. It takes 3 minutes from Mountain Village Center to Market Plaza.

Terrific way to get up and own the mountain for various activities. Whether going mid-mountain for coffee or all the way down for Telluride activities. Stayed at the top at Mountain Lodge and this was a terrific mode of transportation during our weeklong stay. Whether going out for drinks, food or hiking.

The buses come every few minutes, the wait is minimal. Runs from the Union station - terminal for trains running to airport and elsewhere - along the main street downtown Denver. Even if your destination is off the main street, this hop-on hop-off service will trake you much closer, hopefully within walking distance of what you need.

We use the light rail quite frequently. My husband is a bit of an expert. The more you go, the easier it gets, although it's not very hard even when starting. When you get to a station, you can buy a ticket, get to the right side of the tracks for where you're going, and zoom, you're off in style.

If the lite rail is near to you, it is a great way to get around in the Denver Metro Area. It keeps getting better as new lines are added. You can buy discounted ticket books at the grocery stores or buy the passes at the light rail stations from the kiosk. The trains are well maintained and run on time. Off rush hour and on weekends there is plenty of room for parking and inside the train cars. Nice option for getting around, especially to Coors Field, the Pepsi Center/Elitches and Mile High Stadium.

I flew from Auckland NZ to Chicago and had four day's before catching the California Zephyr! This was the highlight of my trip, being able to hop off and stretch at various stops along the way! I met two lovely ladies, and had dinner with them in the dining car. The staff on the train have been great with some pretty good commentary along the way! I am taking all the way to Emmeryville, and then flying back to New Zealand on Wednesday.
