Travel to Colorado

Places To Go

Cool places in Colorado ✈️

📍Location: Estes Park and Colorado Springs 🏔️

Pike’s Peak - Cog Railway - 3 hour round trip - donuts at the top with spectacular views over 14,000 feet in elevation 🚊 🚂

Garden of the Gods

Red Rocks Amphitheater

Estes Park- Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes tram

Manitou Springs - cute mountain town to explore - great pizza place Ruffrano’s Hells Kitchen Pizza

Good Part: beautiful Rocky Mountains, breathtaking views ⛰️

Need To Note: Air gets thinner the higher in elevation you are. Make sure to stay hydrated and bring snacks if you are hiking

How to get there: Depends on where you are and what you want to do. I personally took a flight ✈️ into Colorado. You can take a road trip if you feel up to it and if weather is right.

Additional Tips: Take note of the weather, but its always good to have an AWD vehicle in case of ice and snowy weather when driving in the mountains / bring chapstick too 😄

this park in colorado took my breath away!

When you hear Colorado, it generally brings to mind snow-capped alpine mountains and not red rock formations and desert landscape. However, that is exactly what you'll find at Garden of the Gods - with the added perk of having said snow-capped mountains in the background! Garden of the Gods
