Beautiful & Recreational Colorado
Growing up we only vacationed in CO (lots of family). My brother currently lives there so we visit often. From Estes Park to Colorado Springs, Denver to Greeley, & many other places we have traveled all over Colorado. Been up to see chipmunks on ...
Colorado Springs
Spend the days exploring COS
Best hotel in Colorado Springs!!! Rooms are clean, spacious, & sleep up to 6. The outdoor entertaining space has a view of the mountains. 2 levels complete with beautiful fireplace, heaters, BBQ grills, shuffle board, outdoor hot tub. Free breakf...
Helen Hunt Falls is a great pit stop along Gold Camp Road in Colorado Springs. The only downside to this beautiful waterfall is parking is very limited.
Climb rocks & watch rock climbers ascend to the top. Walk beautiful paths & watch sunsets. Occasionally hear a violinist create beautiful music that echos throughout the park.
Drive up Pikes Peak making many pit stops along the way to see the beautiful scenery. Or take the Cog Railway up & see the scenery most don't. During summer swim or kayak in the lakes. Watch wildlife. Once at the top enjoy a traditional & fam...
Probably the last thing you'd expect to see in Colorado. Yes Colorado has sand dunes. Slide down dunes for some great memories
Estes Park
Soak in the beauty of Colorado
If you like ghost hunts this is the place for you. Scary, creepy, & movie history. This is where Stephen Kings novel came to life. Stanley Kubrick directed ”The Shining” here. And it is creepy.
Right at the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park sits Estes Park. Visit during October to experience the elk rut.
Rocky Mountain National Park is such a special place. Rainbow Curve with the chipmunks is my favorite- grew up going here often. Go over the Continental Divide, maybe see some moose, bears, or big horn sheep. There is a family of big horns that comes...
When you stop here you’ll see beautiful rainbows & chipmunks that scurry around everywhere
Denver
Explore the Mile High City
Love Staybridge!!! Free laundry, breakfast, pet friendly, & so much more. *I believe this location is close to Union Station
It's been a while since last time we were here but it's a very nice zoo
Great memories here. One of my all time favorite photos is my daughter & brother here. First time they met she was 4 months old, he had just returned from active duty, & the aquarium had a huge megalodon jaw skeleton. He held her in there &am...
West of Denver you’ll find Mt Evans Scenic Bypass. Beautiful views & maybe a sighting of a mountain goat along the way.
Whether it’s a concert or a theatrical play Red Rocks is the place to be.
Off the beaten path
Places or activities that can be found across the state. Such as Gold Mine Towns, Hot Springs, & more. *Camping is always a great option for the parks.
Camping in Colorado is an adventure & there are so many camping opportunities throughout the state.
Soak in one of the many hot springs Colorado offer. If you believe in magic of hot springs healing powers, then it definitely might be worth a visit.
Did you know Colorado has what's known as "Switzerland of America" or "Little Switzerland"? Ouray, near Telluride, is known for hot springs, slopes, & food. So if you love any or all 3 of those this is the town for you.
History that makes you richer... in knowledge. Maybe you'll get lucky & find a nugget. Who knows unless you visit? *There's the Colorado Gold Trail that spans many different towns along the way. Pretty neat.
Rougjoy halway between COS & Great Sand Dunes you'll find Royal Gorge. Experience the Royal Gorge by walking the bridge, ziplining, taking the train, or gondola.
