Every state has swimming pools and putt putt, but no one does summer quite like Colorado. Here are a few things that make the Centennial State’s hottest season iconic.
Peaches and Chiles
Coloradans wait all year for two signature crops to appear — Palisade Peaches and Pueblo Chiles. A unique microclimate and some innovative irrigation in the late 1800s have created one of the world’s great fruits in the Palisade Peach. Colorado restaurants are keen to break out peach desserts, peach-infused cocktails and salsas. Locals know to get it while you can, because the peak season — late July to early September — always passes faster than expected.
