I overheard someone try and argue how much better Dallas was than Chicago and it sparked instant rage.

WTF are people doing when they visit Dallas? I’m a prime “Dallas short vacation” target. We went once & all I remember is going to a Stars game.

I’ve spent around a month of my life in each place and can think of no viable argument for Dallas over Chicago as a fun place to visit for three days.

To be fair I think they were talking living vs tourism. In that respect they both would suck for very different reasons

Oh. Might be an interesting discussion for the living in places thread.

For me- downtown Chicago area would be kind of fun. Suburbs in either would not be.

JFK stuff and Fort Worth stockyards? throw in a zoo and a museum and some barbecue and that's an OK family long weekend.

Do the ski town one

1)Aspen-Best food! Best hiking! Best trees in fall! Free in town dial a ride to pick up and take you anywhere you want service! Insane snarkiness and I’m better than you homeowner attitude! Jazz fest! Laugh fest!  Easy #1 pick. From here it gets much harder.

They are definitely neck and neck, but it's personal preference for me.  Summer camping trips put CB on top for me.  If this list is only about food and downtown activities, then yeah Aspen wins.

Is this only about the skiing or do you guys factor in hiking, eats, fishing, etc.

[steve dave]

I would actually prefer the list to not include skiing at all.

I did everything. I lived in CO for 16 years so a lot of the visits were not during ski season.

[ChiComCat]

Winter Park/Grand County is middle of the pack winter but towards the top of a summer list.

[tdaver]

Yes, make it a mountain town list instead of ski town.

I am factoring everything. Ever-y-thing

[420seriouscat69]

 

[tdaver]

and why just colorado?

Yeah I probably ranked this one too low.  Grand Lake is great in the summer\leaf peeping!

[steve dave]

I love grand lake but that side of RMNP is where the crappier RMNP stuff is so we always just stay in estes.

[Phil Titola]

Nothing gets Kansasans hornier than Colorado mountain towns.
