It is popular with tourists because of the scenic beauty of the mountains and lakes and the many outdoor activities such as downhill and cross-country skiing. Some popular attractions include the Rocky Mountain National Park, the Ashcroft Ghost Town and the Denver Zoo, as well as a variety of ski resorts such as Aspen Mountain and Telluride.
