Back east, covered bridges are all the rage and are easy to find, which, sadly, is not a reality for those of us in the Centennial State. While we lack the amount other states have, the ones we do are still downright stunning, including these 6 beautiful Colorado covered bridges that are either traditional or unique:
- Gore Creek Covered Bridge (Vail)
Flickr/Jeffrey Beall For one of the most traditional covered bridges in Colorado - which just so happens to be housed inside one of the most charming mountain towns in Colorado - check out the gorgeous Gore Creek Covered Bridge, which nestled away near iconic downtown.
- Wild Animal Sanctuary (Keenesburg)
Flickr/Kent Kanouse Sure, it isn’t the most traditional of covered bridges, but the overpass at the Wild Animal Sanctuary is by far the most unique you will ever visit! When you walk along the elevated walkways and bridges, you will be immersed in not only charm but also exotic animal sightings galore.
- Covered Bridge Ranch (Montrose)
Covered Bridge Ranch Facebook A gorgeous covered bridge located inside of a beautiful ranch? You will only find that at the Covered Bridge Ranch, a 300-acre tree farm and wildlife refuge in Montrose! In addition to the bridge, the aptly-named Covered Bridge Ranch also hosts countless events, including a Christmas tree farm and pumpkin patch.
- Middle Boulder Creek (Nederland)
Flickr/J. Stephen Conn For another traditional covered bridge, visit the quirky town of Nederland and its picturesque Middle Boulder Creek! Spanning 22-feet, Middle Boulder Creek is an attraction that can (and should) be enjoyed year-round.
- Stagecoach Ranch (Cotopaxi)
Stagecoach Ranch Colorado Facebook If you thought that the previously mentioned Covered Bridge Ranch was the only ranch in Colorado with a covered bridge, think again. Located in little-known Cotopaxi, the Stagecoach Ranch is a 525-acre oasis that offers three living quarters in addition to the one-of-a-kind covered bridge.
6. River Mountain Lodge (Breckenridge)
TripAdvisor/Mike S Last but certainly not least on our list of the 6 must-visit covered bridges in Colorado is River Mountain Lodge, which connects the clean and charming lodge and accommodations with nearby walking and biking paths.
