This place is so hard to explain. It’s worth seeing more than once! It’s an art show on steroids with an amazing vibe.

Over the last few years the mall has undergone a beautiful upgrade! Denver is a beautiful city and the 16th street mall is a perfect place to walk safely and see beautiful architecture and eat at great restaurants.
Denver's 16th Street Pedestrian Promenade
This place is so fun for all ages. It’s my favorite fall activity! It’s about 30 miles out of Denver. So many pumpkins to choose from. A giant corn maze. Great food. Very scary haunted corn maze! Look for me doing field trips in the fall. It’s so fun...

Magic of the Jack-o-lanterns at Hudson Gardens in Colorado is magical! So many fun jack-o-lanterns and beautiful weather.

Very easy walk to a beautiful waterfall in Rocky Mountain National Park. I pushed my elderly father up the trail, its is very accessible

When I first moved out by the Buc-ee’s, I had no idea what the hype was. Now every time I have someone come visit me in Colorado, we take at least six trips to the Buc-ees. It doesn’t hurt that gas prices are great. My husband loves his Buc-ee’s hat ...
Kevin Bacon wears Buc-ee’s hat! HUGE with fun food and cheap but quality merch
It’s an experience. Don’t expect it to be fine dining, but do expect a very unusual, campy vibe, and a very distinctive experience. Go at least once if you get the chance!
Casa Bonita, yes, Casa Bonita!

Downtown Aquarium and restaurant - Denver
I’ve been here when the Eagles are nesting, I’ve been here when there are geese all over the frozen pond, I’ve been there when I haven’t seen any wildlife, but it’s always beautiful. It’s a great place if you like hiking and the outdoors, but don’t n...
Barr Lake State Park - great for nature walk and bird watching. If it’s the right time of year, you will see lots of eagles.
Now, this isn’t one of the fancier springs, but it is the closest to Denver and the water feels amazing. You can opt for the large mineral pool with the many tropical plants, or you can add on the clothing, optional cave with very hot water and a fun...
Indian Hot Springs-Idaho Springs about an hour out of Denver. Very comfy springs and cute shopping!
This was a super fun coaster. The scenery all the way down was beautiful. For a pretty reasonable price you can get unlimited rides.
Mustang Mountain Coaster: In Estes Park, about an hour and 20 minutes out of Denver. Lots of other things to do in Estes Park as well while you’re there.!
