There’s nothing quite like going on a road trip at the peak of the summer. In Colorado, that usually means a trip to the mountains, and one of the best places that you can go on a summer drive is Twin Lakes. Twin Lakes, Colorado, is a pair of lakes in the center of the state, and it’s also a small, historic town named after them. You’ll love visiting these picturesque lakes and marveling at the tall mountains that surround them – including Mount Elbert, our state’s tallest – and you’ll enjoy checking out the small town on their shores that has a population of less than 200 people.
