• Top 10 Spots Your Dad Will Actually Love To Spend Father's Day At (everafterinthewoods.com) — If you’re planning Father’s Day close to home, South Park City Museum in Fairplay is one of Colorado’s standout picks, offering a walkable frontier town of more than forty historic buildings. The statewide roundup suggests memorable, mostly outdoor adventures—from steam trains and mining museums to waterfalls and sand dunes—while noting that Fairplay’s small-town charm and South Park scenery make it an especially rewarding, low-key day trip.
