If you have been following me for a while, you know I often write about Telluride. However, I never got to write about all my hiking adventures while visiting this magical town.  

Some of these hikes are great year-round, and some are not. I will denote which ones are, when I hiked them, and how easy or hard they are. Know your limits, leave no trace, take extra water and food, and enjoy the views!

On my road trip from Maryland to Telluride, Colorado, this past June, my friend and I were excited to stop and explore more in Grand Junction. I have been to Grand Junction a handful of times, and each time I leave here, falling even more in love. This blog post will discuss my experience at Highland Distiller!

If you have followed me for a while, you know I love the little town of Telluride. I have been to almost every restaurant, bar, and coffee place in the town except for one: the Well Coffee. It’s a unique gem nestled downstairs inside the Alpine Chapel.

My favorite thing to do in Colorado is hitting up as many hot springs as possible. It doesn't matter if it is winter or summer. After a day's adventure, soaking in a hot body of water is refreshing and relaxing!

With almost 100 hot springs in the state, you may be unsure which ones to visit. If so, check out my three favorite hot springs below!

If you google "how to ski alone," you will see the advice: don't do it. And I will say, “I call bullshit on that.” I will call bullshit on that because if you follow the tips below in a ski resort, I think you will be perfectly fine.

Here are my top ten tips to ski solo….

I wasn’t planning to write about my time here since I didn’t camp or see UFOs. However, I have recently been talking to a friend about aliens, and I just started to watch X-Flies for the first time (yes, I am late to the game). My friend mentioned a lot of UFO activity in the Sand Dunes area.

So, since I have just published my 8 Tips for that National Park, I felt this would be a fun piece to write. Maybe you guys will stop here on your way to Great Sand Dunes National Park.

In September, I went to Colorado Springs for a work trip. Despite being busy, I was able to play and explore a new area of my favorite state. Below are my recommendations for outdoor places you should check out if you have a few days in Colorado Springs—with tips for each one.

Read on to learn tips you can use, as well as my experiences in this park, to help you get a glimpse of the excitement available to you at Great Sand Dunes!

Full disclosure here; I am not the biggest Denver fan. I first explored Denver in July 2020, extending my trip to Colorado after visiting Telluride. I spent three days in the city and made the most of it.

Since then, whenever I returned to Colorado, I spent a few days in Denver before returning to DC. After my week in Telluride, I decided to spend a week in Denver to see if I could enjoy this city more.

These are the places I have been going to since 2020.

I really love exploring outside of Denver, but if you are looking for things to do in Denver, you should check out the 9 places I usually go! They are always worth visiting.

In this post, I will discuss places to eat and drink. This post will only cover the places I have been to and loved in Telluride.

I have been to Telluride in the fall, winter, and summer months. Each season in this town has moments of fun, adventure, and beauty, but my favorite will always be winter. In this post, I will tell you all my snow activities and some suggestions for other ideas if you aren’t a snow bunny like me.
