Winter Camping in Colorado Provides Amazing Experiences and Beautiful Scenery
Camping isn’t seasonal. Camping is a year round event! So when it comes to winter camping you get a unique experience you just can’t get in summer. From beautiful scenery to the satisfying crunch of snow beneath your feet, there is so much to love about camping in the winter.
You Don’t Have to Sleep Outdoors
Okay, I know what you’re thinking, “There’s no way I’m sleeping outside in a tent in cold weather.” And yeah, I don’t blame you. The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about camping is shelter and where you are going to sleep. One of the best ways to escape the cold while camping is to rent an Outdoor Advanture van. Think about it, no setting up a tent in the freezing cold and/or snow, and a solid shelter for you to sleep soundly in.
It’s Not as Cold as You Think
Colorado provides relatively mild winter temperatures with daytime temps averaging 45 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s also not uncommon to have temperatures even higher than 45. When the sun goes down, it’s the perfect time to get cozy by the fire (don’t forget the s’mores)! It’s also worth noting the national average for sunny days in a year in the US is 205 days. Colorado specifically has an average of 245 sunny days in a year! Well above the national average, meaning Colorado is one of the best places to camp all year round!
Winter Activities and Experiences
Consider yourself lucky if you get to see some beautiful sights covered with snow! A coat of snow over a landscape can really be a tranquil experience. It seems to make everything more relaxing and alluring. Don’t forget to look off in the distance and see some snow capped mountains!
Get out and about! There are many activities to do in winter that are simply not possible during the summer. Have some fun snowshoeing, snowmobiling, skiing, snowboarding, tubing, hiking, ice fishing, and sledding!
Conclusion
Colorado winters are great for camping! Not only is there much fun to be had with winter activities, but it’s the perfect opportunity to explore and witness nature at its finest! Keep on camping no matter the season.
