Vacation Suggestions

[M.T. Pockets]

Hello everyone, I'm planning a vacation with the wife & kids (10 & 8) later in August. The past couple years we've spent a few days in Wyoming, I love the entire state.

This year the wife wants a change of scenery and suggested Colorado. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to stay, what to see for 2 or 3 days in Northern Colorado (North of Denver). We like to stay in small, out of the way towns and not the faster paced tourist areas. I like to find a motel or cabin in a small town where we can visit with the real, local people.

I'm all ears and appreciate any suggestions on where to go, stay & see (and maybe what to avoid too). Thanks.
