Your favorite weird/cool places in Colorado?

Hey folks - I'm looking for for some tips on weird, cool, interesting and unusual places in CO. Please share your favorite places that are easily accessible via paved road, or a short section of dirt road easily rideable on a street bike.

Pics are always welcome too

Thanks!

P.s. - I know there are many cool places listed on http://www.roadsideamerica.com/ and other sites - but there are many that are not :)

Weird in what way?

Have you had a ride on the Carousel of Happiness in Nederland yet?

Swetsville zoo in Fort Collins

Good question, weird is kinda subjective. I'd not like to limit the suggestions to my own interpretation of the words, otherwise we might miss out on some great suggestions :)

No, tell me more?

Bishop Castle

(google the carousel of happiness.. it is only really "weird" when 40 of us show up in full ride gear and take it for a spin )

Thunder Mountain in Loveland .................. very weird place.

Cool - I found the site. Is the Carousel visible from the road/parking lot?

Have you tried this thread http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=646566 ? You don't have to join in on the tagging to just go see the places later on.

Boulder is plenty weird!

I was going to recommend your place, FC, but I didn't want to be too presumptive.

Way unique for sure. I meet Bill Swets a few weeks ago.
Anyone riding up near FC should check it out at least once.

Bishop castle is another cool spot.
Cano's Castle in Antonito is a must see.
I'd say a meal at Casa Bonita in Lakewood is unique. Food is so so, but visuals are crazy.

As for natural features I'd say the overlooks at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison are way cool.
Also the paved road down to the canyon floor is unreal steep. They had to hand throw the asphalt to pave it.

I worked a rally there and yeah.
Johny Lang did play and that was cool.

Pikes Peak, Estes Park, Rocky Mt. Nat'l Park, Royal Gorge, Telluride, Ouray, Silverton, Cripple Creek. Pretty much all of western Colorado is awesome.

Cool? crested butte

Weird? anywhere in the San Luis valley (just look at the people who live there)

Yeah, there are some cool and weird things there for sure - Cano's Castle, the UFO tower etc

Well I was thinking of my Buddy grub......

Durango is a very odd place.

Another good place to visit is fat tees in salida, best visited by Texans of course....

You should always visit Beadsong first. The proprietor is much nicer than the grumpy old coot at Fattees.
