I've never been to CO but see pictures all the time and it is beautiful.

We took our oldest camping for the first time when she was 2 1/2 and my youngest was about 6 months old. lasted one night and my wife freaked out and we had to leave. She felt it was too cold.

We now have a pop-up camper and go about about two times per month in the summer. with two daughters the pop-up camper makes it much easier to get the whole family into camping. (my daughters are now 8 and 6). I think it was one of the best family activities you can do. I have a lot of pictures floating around at home, but I'm at the office right now. I will have to post them up when I get home.
