Colorado Travel

We spent a week visiting friends in Colorado in June 2015 and fell in love with the Centennial State. It is absolutely beautiful, with so many neat things to do. During that trip, we spent most of our time in Boulder. In June 2025, we returned to Colorado and focused on Denver. You can read all about our time in Denver. Below are links to all our favorite places we discovered during our visits.
