With winter in Colorado, comes the time to "cuddle up" with the one you love for a little romance. It turns out, that Travel + Leisure has put one Colorado town on its list of the 20 most-romantic places for a winter getaway.

With a list of 20 places across the entire world for a romantic getaway, Colorado could theoretically be on the list more than once, but considering all the states that didn't make the list at all, we'll take it.

Maybe it's the thin air that gets people all weak-kneed.

Colorado Town One of 20 for Most-Romantic Winter Getaways

Strike another one up for the Colorado Tourism Board, as they have something else to brag about; the folks at Travel + Leisure list one Colorado town as a great place for romance in the wintertime.

Why Aspen Stands Out for Romance According to Travel + Leisure

  • Skiing.
  • Trails.
  • Ice skating.

It's hard to find someone that doesn't hold at least some fondness for the late singer/actor; all those great songs, and "Oh, God!," rank up there. Speaking of "up there," up in Aspen, if you have the money, you could live in Denver's old digs.
