Bishop’s Castle (Colorado)
This one is one of the most unique places you can find in the state. Being off the beaten path, Bishop’s Castle is not like anything you have seen before. Being built by a father with the help of his son, you can even end up meeting the builder (Jim Bishop) if you stop by.
The entrance is free and the castle is something out of a fairytale with the way it is built and the historical, ancient air the stones give it.
The way up to it is an amazing addendum to any road trip by itself, as it has some of the coolest views and you can admire what mother nature has to offer on the way to the castle.
Despite it being an amazing place to visit, as you can climb around the castle, we have to warn you about the fact that it can get pretty dangerous and if you go there with young kids, you have to be very vigilant.
Don’t let this cool place charm you away from paying attention to your surroundings!

y husband went to School in Vineland, New Jersey, not far from here and brought down to spend the day at Cape May and bought me a beautiful present while there visiting the Angels of the Sea which is a B&B!! Then we went and had a nice hot bowl of Clam Chowder as it was getting chilly and stating to rain! Went to a cute Candy Store and bought some Salt Water Taffy! I would love to go back when weather is good too! Took pics of Light Houses too!
