Redstone, Colorado: Historic Swiss-Style Town in the Rockies

Redstone is about 200 miles west of Denver, but the place looks like it was airlifted in from the Swiss Alps—in fact, the buildings are modeled after European mountain chalets. The entire town was the brainchild of entrepreneur John Cleveland Osgood, who built it in order to house the employees of his coal-mining operation. While he lived there, his tudor-style Redstone Castle hosted guests such as John D. Rockefeller, John Pierpont Morgan, and Teddy Roosevelt; today, you can take a public guided tour of the house or dine like a Rockefeller yourself at the historic Redstone Inn, which, like the rest of the town, is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Since it’s surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, Redstone has no shortage of outdoor activities. The 2.3-million-acre White River National Forest is crisscrossed with trails for hiking and snowmobiling, and Avalanche Ranch boasts natural hot springs about 5 miles north of town.
