HOW TO SEE all of Green Mountain Falls, Colorado? The best spot is the new Town Overlook. The adventure begins at the Lower Turrell Trail at the foot of Red Butte Recreational Area. From there, it’s a short saunter up the mountainside in a forest bath of ponderosa pines—or travelers can hop on Green Box Arts’ ATV for a complimentary escort. En route to the James Turrell Skypace (above), the overlook is located midway up the trail. This postcard-worthy, picturesque lawn (below) has 360-degree views of everything to explore and do in this charming mountain town. – ANNA FAYE HUNTER ▶ greenboxarts.org
