Anyone who has ever been to Colorado knows that it is a picturesque wonderland complete with stunning mountain views, lush valleys and even a few gorgeous structures scattered about. In fact, Colorado is so pretty that it reminds me of something you’d see illustrated in a storybook! To give you the same visual, here are 13 Colorado spots that are straight out of a fairy tale:

  1. Aspen
