If you haven’t noticed, we cannot go even a week without gushing about one of Colorado’s many charming small towns! From the north to the south, east to the west, there is no shortage of these friendly places to go around. Now, you may think that we only look to the mountains and Slope for these places, but this is not the case, as demonstrated by this small Eastern Plains town that you may have heard of, but have never taken the time to visit.
Located smack dab in the middle of Denver and the Colorado/Kansas border, the town of Limon is a tiny community of nearly 2,000 that is known by many as an easy stop while traveling along I-70.
