The Town Hiding In Colorado That Is Straight Out Of A Painting
When it comes to awe-inspiring towns and scenery, Colorado takes the cake… but have you ever seen a town that stops you dead in your tracks and makes you wonder whether this is real life or a dream? If you have experienced this, there is a good chance you have visited this hidden Colorado town, which looks like it could be straight out of a painting:

Incorporated in 1887, Westcliffe was once an important stop along the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, and is now home to nearly 600 residents.
