Coloradans love to brag about the tens of miles they hiked (or ran) to reach a pristine alpine lake or the number of 14,000-foot mountains whose summits they’ve scaled. But the truth is that you don’t have to be an ultra-anythinger to enjoy many of the state’s classic pursuits—and the back-of-beyond wilderness access they provide. Whether you use a wheelchair for mobility, are entertaining flatlanders, or just want to score sweeping, breathtaking vistas without, you know, losing your breath, we’ve got an outdoor recreation opportunity for you.
