What’s Your Colorado Adventure?
Last weekend we took the kids camping. It was their first time doing a more off-grid camping trip and they loved it! It reminded me yet again why living in Colorado is so special. Our camping spot was just an hour from downtown Denver and yet felt as if you were in the middle of nowhere. Crisp mountain air, campfires, and a million stars above. Perfect. We are so lucky that our state is full of adventures. So, this week the blurb is simply a reminder of some of the adventures that await in the beautiful State of Colorado.
Our culinary scene continues to impress with everything from incredible Michelin Star restaurants like The Wolf’s Tailor, Kizaki, and Alma Fonda Fina all the way to some of the best neighborhood joints like J’s Noodles, Spuntino, and the Plimoth. Whatever you’re looking for, we have it.
But there is also so much to enjoy outside of the city. We, of course, have world class skiing but we also have incredible hiking trails just 20-30 minutes from downtown. My wife loves the Bear Creek Trail. Or how about a quick drive up 6thAve to Golden for some incredible hikes right on South Table Mountain on your lunch break. We often take our kids to Lair O’ the Bear Park for a leisurely hike on a Sunday.
Are you into cars like me? We are so lucky to have some absolutely amazing mountain roads to drive through with other car idiot friends. For me, there is nothing like an early Friday morning drive to Nederland to grab coffee and breakfast at the Train Car – make sure to get the fresh mini donuts. Or try a spirited drive over Mestaa’Ehehe Pass near Mt Blue Sky to be amongst the clouds.
From rock climbing to river rafting to exploring old mining towns Colorado is just filled with adventure. And don’t forget all of our museums, the theater, and of course concerts at Red Rocks! There really is something for everyone here. As summer really blossoms take this as your reminder to get out there and find your adventure. But also make sure to come look at all my listings.
This weekend I’m exploring the Western Slope for the first time and staying in Palisade – an area known for incredible produce and wine. Don’t worry I’ll still be reachable!
What’s your adventure this weekend?
