By Allison Fitts & Lillian Robinson<\/h4>\n

If Interstate’s 25 & 70 are the North-South and East-West gateways through Colorado, respectively, then places like Denver, Fort Collins, Vail, Colorado Springs, and Grand Junction are its landmark towns. These hot spots have so much to offer travelers, but the same travelers would be remiss to only travel to places like this when there are gorgeous places in the state that are found via less traveled roads. Case in point, the heart of Colorado across Gunnison, Rio Grande, San Juan, and Uncompahgre National Forests. This beautiful and less visited area of the state is worth a visit of its own, or perhaps individual visits to some of its coolest little mountain towns. So grab a campervan<\/a> from the Denver class B RV rental location<\/a> and hit the road on this southwestern Colorado road trip!<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":20008,"id":20008,"title":"Aspen Colorado Road Trip","filename":"iconic-aspen-colorado.jpg","filesize":60789,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iconic-aspen-colorado.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/es\/iconic-aspen-colorado\/","alt":"","author":"53","description":"","caption":"","name":"iconic-aspen-colorado","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2018-12-14 23:18:14","modified":"2018-12-14 23:18:14","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":640,"height":482,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iconic-aspen-colorado-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iconic-aspen-colorado-300x226.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":226,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iconic-aspen-colorado.jpg","medium_large-width":640,"medium_large-height":482,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iconic-aspen-colorado.jpg","large-width":640,"large-height":482,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iconic-aspen-colorado.jpg","1536x1536-width":640,"1536x1536-height":482,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iconic-aspen-colorado.jpg","2048x2048-width":640,"2048x2048-height":482,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iconic-aspen-colorado-600x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":600,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iconic-aspen-colorado.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":640,"post-thumbnail-height":482,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iconic-aspen-colorado.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":226,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iconic-aspen-colorado.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":301,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iconic-aspen-colorado.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":452}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"

Aspen<\/h2>\n

Known as the most posh\u00a0and celebrity-filled of Colorado\u2019s mountain towns, Aspen is a unique blend of upscale and backcountry. Spend time in the downtown and enjoy dozens of nice restaurants, riding around using the free bike share program and fantasy house hunt through all of the town\u2019s beautiful properties. Venture a bit outside of town to enjoy the Maroon Bells Wilderness Area and its namesake peaks. Parking is limited at the peaks, so take the low-cost bus ride there from Aspen. Plus, at this time of year, the Aspen trees are turning their signature yellow color for fall.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":20011,"id":20011,"title":"Ouray Southwest Colorado","filename":"ouray-colorado-southwest.jpg","filesize":77067,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ouray-colorado-southwest.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/es\/ouray-colorado-southwest\/","alt":"","author":"53","description":"","caption":"","name":"ouray-colorado-southwest","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2018-12-14 23:18:21","modified":"2018-12-14 23:18:21","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":480,"height":640,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ouray-colorado-southwest-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ouray-colorado-southwest-225x300.jpg","medium-width":225,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ouray-colorado-southwest.jpg","medium_large-width":480,"medium_large-height":640,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ouray-colorado-southwest.jpg","large-width":480,"large-height":640,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ouray-colorado-southwest.jpg","1536x1536-width":480,"1536x1536-height":640,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ouray-colorado-southwest.jpg","2048x2048-width":480,"2048x2048-height":640,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ouray-colorado-southwest-480x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":480,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ouray-colorado-southwest.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":480,"post-thumbnail-height":640,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ouray-colorado-southwest.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":225,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":300,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ouray-colorado-southwest.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":300,"gform-image-choice-md-height":400,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ouray-colorado-southwest.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":450,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":600}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"

Ouray<\/h2>\n

This classic Mountain West town is tucked away in the Rockies and not easy to get to from anywhere, but once you arrive, you will see it was well worth the journey. No matter the time of year, the must-do activity is the hot springs right along the main stretch of town. We promise you won\u2019t find a better view while sitting in hot springs anywhere else!<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":20002,"id":20002,"title":"Downtown Telluride Colorado","filename":"downtown-telluride-colorado.jpg","filesize":70705,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/downtown-telluride-colorado.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/es\/downtown-telluride-colorado\/","alt":"","author":"53","description":"","caption":"","name":"downtown-telluride-colorado","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2018-12-14 23:18:02","modified":"2018-12-14 23:18:02","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":640,"height":480,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/downtown-telluride-colorado-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/downtown-telluride-colorado-300x225.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/downtown-telluride-colorado.jpg","medium_large-width":640,"medium_large-height":480,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/downtown-telluride-colorado.jpg","large-width":640,"large-height":480,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/downtown-telluride-colorado.jpg","1536x1536-width":640,"1536x1536-height":480,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/downtown-telluride-colorado.jpg","2048x2048-width":640,"2048x2048-height":480,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/downtown-telluride-colorado-600x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":600,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/downtown-telluride-colorado.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":640,"post-thumbnail-height":480,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/downtown-telluride-colorado.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":225,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/downtown-telluride-colorado.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":300,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/downtown-telluride-colorado.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":450}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"

Once you enjoy your soak in Ouray, take a drive around Mt. Sneffels and dip down into Telluride, the festival capital of Colorado. Enjoy the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in June, the Telluride Film Festival over Labor Day Weekend or one of the many events that call this place home.

Saguache<\/h2>\n

By far the tiniest of the places on our list (though none are booming metropolises), Saguache has a population of 488. A drive through this quaint place will lead to one of Allison\u2019s personal favorite parts of Colorado, the San Luis Valley.
