So I've done a Denver and Aspen thread, if you want full details on these cities, check out either of those threads. This thread I'm gonna do a quick rundown on which places to see and which places not to see in Colorado...
General Breakdown: So I've been all over CO. I'm gonna do a quick layout of some of the towns I've been to and tell you the good shit to do there. At the end I'll rate girls, places to stay, over all beauty, nightlife, and what group it fits under. Places in Colorado can be classified more or less in 3 groups, the mountains, the midwest, and City. But really what I'm trying to do here since, Colorado isn't a place to go for nightlife and girls, is tell you about the nice places to see. Though there aren't many clubs or girls, Colorado is a state I would recomend everyone visit once in their lives.
Aspen and Roaring Fork Valley: Huge thread on this already, if you want in deapth, check it out. This is the place to be in Colorado. Awesome snowboarding, for a mountain town it has good girls, and a great nightlife. There are TONS of great places to see. If you go make sure you catch Maroon Bells, which I didn't mention in the other thread. This place is Beautiful. I couldn't even begin to list all the awesome hikes and places to see in Aspen. Get a trail map and try asking locals or concierges about some good hikes. Go on the Aspen gondola, winter or summer for a beautiful view of the valley. If you think you can make it, go to Conundrum. It's a nude hotsprings and there are usually a pretty decent number of people there, but it's something like a 10 mile hike round trip. Make sure to take Independence Pass in the summer. You can stop anywhere on that road and walk around and you are gonna see some awesome shit. Also, Mount. Soprise is sick if you're willing to do a hike. Otherwise I wouldn't tell you to go all the way down to Carbondale just to look at it. Rudi reservore outside of basalt is another nice place.
Girls: 6
Places to stay: 6. There are tons of great places but they are gonna cost you an arm and a leg, even the shitty places. The CHEAPEST room you are gonna find will run you $250 in the winter.
Overall beauty: 10

Glennwood Springs: Glennwood is kind of a cool town, real mountain feeling. There isn't too much to see here though. They do have a brewery that has some good beer. There are a couple of decent nightlife spots that I couldn't tell you the name of. There's also an amusement park. If you're here in the summer, check out the rafting. Glennwoods main attraction though is their hotsprings. There's a HUGE hotsprings pool here with waterslides and all. There's also some decent golfing in the area. Nothing to be too stoked on though. There is also a mountain to ski on here, but there is no reason to go since Aspen is 45 minutes away.

Grand Junction and all the cities between there and Aspen: Grand Junction is probably one of the worst places I've ever been in my life, as are all the cities in between. Girls are ugly. The place is gonna make you feel like a tweaker just driving through. I wouldn't know about the nightlife or much else in Grand Junction, as the place is a peace of shit. DO NOT GO HERE!
Girls: 2 probably mostly tweakers
Places to stay: 0, you should never stay here
Overall beauty: 1
Nightlife: Wouldn't know but I would guess 2
Category: Midwest/tweakerville
Montrose/ Delta: Montrose and Delta are pretty close to the same level as Grand Junction, the only reason I'm not gonna rate it as bad is that I spent a good amount of time there and met some decent people, as someone close to me lives there. It's a huge hick town, and those who aren't hicks are hippies. It's a decent place to find some herb and blaze down. The only places to go around here are Chili's and TGI Fridays type gigs. The only other places are shitty dive bars. There is one good brewery, which is Smuggler. Stop in for a good bear, I recomend the rasberry wheat. Not much to see in Montrose, all the girls are fatties. One nice place to see in this area though is the Royal Gorge.
Girls: 2
Places to stay: 3, not only are they all shitty Best Westerns, the hotel I had to stay at cost as much as my hotel in Aspen!
Overall Beauty: 3
Nightlife: 2
Category: Midwest
Ridgeway and Ouray: Though I'm putting these two together, they are quit different, but in the same area. Ridgeway is a little prettier than montrose, you are starting to get close to the mountains, but Ouray is beatiful. It has one of the most famous ice climbing places in the US. You can go there in the summer and check out the waterfalls. Not sure where you wanna go hike, but I do know there are great trails out that way. It's a tiny town with nothing really to do but check out the scenery. I would recomend driving the 30 minutes out of your way, because there isn't much to see past it.
Girls: Girls live here?
Places to stay: Wouldn't know

Nightlife: Nonexistant

Silverton: This place is a ghostown, literally, but it's pretty cool to check out and it has some of the best skiing in the world without a doubt. It's a super advanced mountain, so don't even think about it if you are a beginer, or even intermediate. The way this mountain works out is they only let 100 people on a day. Silverton is gorgeous and it's way the fuck up there, probably around 14000 ft. I wouldn't even recomend staying the night unless you are skiing. Just drive through and check it out. The drive there is cool too, lots of old abandoned mining areas. It seems like it's always dark here since its in such a narrow valley. You really only get a couple of hours of full sunlight. I'm sure there are great places to see around here, I haven't checked many out though so I wouldn't know where to tell you to go.
Girls: Probably don't live here
Places to stay: There's probably only 1 hotel and I never saw it
Overall beauty: 7
Nightlife: Couldn't exist here, and if it does it's probably gonna be locals looking at you like, "What the fuck is this stranger doing in our bar?"
Category: Mountains
Telluride: Telluride is a great mountain. The town itself isn't the greatest, though it has a cool vibe to it. It's super hippy and chances are within 5 minutes of getting there, people are gonna be trying to sell you weed. It's a beautiful place in the mountains as well. There are lots of stars coming out this way, it's starting to turn into the new aspen, with Opera and Tom Cruiz, along with a couple of other stars having houses here. The nightlife pretty much sucks though. They also have a Smuggler micro brewery like Montrose. Telluride is a place I recommend checking out for a couple days. It's in the San Juan Mountains, not the rockies. Lots of good hikes and nature to see.
Girls:3
Places to stay: 5 expensive
Overall Beauty: 8
Nightlife: 4
Category: Mountains
Durango: This is a college town. The nightlife is decent and they have quite a few micro breweries. Check out Ska, they make my favorite beer. This places is also a hippie town, but with a cool vibe. You can probably find some pretty cool house parties around as well. Durango Mountain is about 20 minutes outside of town but the skiing is nothing to get excited about. Go around and check out the town though, it's worth stoping in for a night. As far as nice places to see, it's mediocre.

Mesa Verde: Though this isn't really a city, I had to put it on here. It's fucking RAD! It's got a ton of cliff dwellings and things like that from old native american tribes. This place is a must see. You can even go into the dwellings. It's a national park and there are all sorts of places to see spread out through the park. Definitely check it out if you are in the are. I'm not gonna rate this one because the rating standards don't apply here except for the overall beauty and I'd give it an 8.
Moving back north now...
Vail and I-70 resorts: Fuck Vail, I say that because Aspen and Vail have a huge rivalry, but really it's nothing special. It's a nice place, I'm sure there are some good places to see around here, especially Copper Mountain and through out I-70, but I don't know them much. All the I-70 resorts are decent, probably not on Aspen's level (Except Breck, but I'm doing another section on that), but the thing is is they get wayyyy to crowded. On the weekends you can be waiting in 45 minute lift lines, where in Aspen, the bussiest day ever, you MIGHT wait 20 minutes, and that's just unbelievable if you are a local. Usually there really is no wait.
Girls: 4 I'm guessing
Place to stay: Varries which resort you're at. Overall 5.
Overall beauty: 7 I will admit, there are some beautiful spots in this corridor, but I don't have enough info on where to go
Nightlife: 4 I'm guessing
Category: Mountains
Breckenridge: Or "Breck" is the place you wanna be if you are a good park rider. This is where all the kids go that wanna be pro. The overall riding there doesn't touch Aspen, but the park is where it's at. And they have 4 different parks ranging from beginer to pro. The nightlife is decent here and I feel the girls can be a little more friendly than Aspen, but less quality. From what I hear there are some great spots to check out. Anywhere between here and Denver, there are nice nature spots to check out, but nothing other than that.
Girls: 5
Places to stay: 6, much more affordable than Aspen but not as good quality
Overall beauty: 6

Denver: For more info see the Denver thread, but a quick breakdown: Denver has a huge dubstep/electronic/hip hop/ jam band scene. Basically a big music scene in general. A lot of music venues are gonna be better than the bars and clubs. I haven't even seen many clubs around Denver. The bars pretty much suck and everyone who runs them seems to think they are a lot better than they are. Denver is probably the most progressive cities for weed in the country, probably one of the most progressive in the world. Denver is one of my least favorite big cities I've been to. Be sure to check out Red Rocks though, great place to see a concert.
Girls: 6
Place to stay: 5-6 not real sure, always stayed with friends.

Boulder: Boulder is a fun place and a college town. There are tons of house/college parties to be found on the hill. Just ask, people will show you were to go. People are really nice here and there are tons of hippies. The girls aren't bad either since it's a college town. It's a cool town to check out in general, lots of cool buildings. This is a very liberal city. Tons of weed shops here as well and weed is very progressive. Like Denver there is a huge music scene here, all sorts. There's a huge jam band following. You can also find some cool bars, I couldn't tell you the names, you just have to ask the locals.
Girls: 7 (Probably best in CO honestly)
Places to stay: 7, you can probably find a room to pass out in for free honestly if you play your cards right, or for you ballers, there are still nice places to stay here as well
Overal beauty: 7

Fort Collins: Fort Collins is pretty week as far as college towns go, though isn't bad in the area of girls. I would suggest hanging around campus to find girls because the clubs suck. Try and find a college party, as this is probably gonna be one of the easiest places to hook up, and there are plenty around. There isn't much to seee in the way of nature. Ft. Collins is pretty flat and in the planes. There are plenty of places to eat open late for all the college kids. If you don't have much time in CO, skip Ft. Collins and go to Boulder. Though downtown Ft. Collins is pretty cool and there are also a decent amound of concert venues and shows going on.

Colorado Springs: I was young when I was here, so I can't give you much of a rundown, but I know the nicest hotel in CO is here, the broadmore, and I also know there is supposed to be a lot of nice nature around the city. Pikes peak, the highest peak in CO is real close. I've heard good things, but there are better places to check out I'm sure. I'm not gonna rate it since I don't know enough about it.
Anywhere east of denver besides maybe CO Springs and Ft. Collins aren't worth checking out. It's all the midwest. Just a bunch of cow fields. Though you can find some sick skateparks around there for some reason if you are into skating.
I hope someone uses this guide because it took me forever to write, and it's pretty legit, I covered most of CO. There are countless spots to go around CO that are amazing, totally off the map (Litterally). It would take some serious exploring for years to treck all the awesome spots CO has to offer. I think I gave ya'll a pretty good starting point though. Any questions, just ask...
General Breakdown: So I've been all over CO. I'm gonna do a quick layout of some of the towns I've been to and tell you the good shit to do there. At the end I'll rate girls, places to stay, over all beauty, nightlife, and what group it fits under.
