MOUNTAIN TOWNS |
Feeling adventurous this year? Head a little further from home and check out the 4th of July celebrations in Colorado's mountain towns!
Please note: Several mountain towns do not offer firework displays as part of their Independence Day Celebration. Colorado’s low humidity has its perks but can also create dry conditions. The communitites place a high value on wildfire prevention, and thank visitors and residents in advance for not using fireworks in the towns.
