Last Thursday morning I drove from Buena Vista to just north of Silverthorne to hike a 5-mile trail. The mountains were already covered with a bit of snow. It was beautiful! The view from the top of the trail was … Continue reading
Last week I played Euchre (a card game) with a Meetup group. I don’t think I’ll go back, they weren’t that welcoming. I also went for a hike in Boulder. The flat iron mountains are beautiful! Saturday I went for … Continue reading
Wednesday I went for a 2.5 mi solo hike at White Ranch. I arrived early and was the only hiker until close to the end. It was so peaceful. I’m not sure I would have been as peaceful if I … Continue reading
On Saturday, I went hiking with a group in the James peak wilderness area. The hike began at an elevation over 9,000 ft., and was almost 7 miles with an elevation gain of 1600 ft. The leader hiked very fast … Continue reading
This week I cycled solo on the Lobo Trail. It stretches from Longmont to Boulder and I cycled about 27 miles. As you can see, it was very scenic! The mountains in the distance were dramatic. The trail meanders through … Continue reading

I love to prepare travel itineraries and I spent at least 20 hours over the past week perfecting an itinerary for a one week trip to Colorado I’m going on next month with a girlfriend.
This is a photo from two years ago of a trip to Durango and Silverton, Colorado. This time I’ll be exploring Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Boulder, Denver, Golden, Evergreen, and Idaho Springs. I booked lodging through Airbnb for two of the locations and used Vacation Rental By Owner for the third location. I’ve packed quite a bit in for the week…but with good planning utilizing a variety of online travel sites to include Trip Advisor, Yelp, and google maps, I’m confident we’ll be able to see it all without feeling rushed. I’m flexible, so if we want to switch something up once we’re there, we can. If you’ve been to any of these places or have any other recommendations, please share! I have prices listed to give people an idea of how much things cost in the event someone wants to use any of the itinerary. By choosing rentals that have a kitchen, we can cut down on the cost of food.
I can’t wait to hike and take some photographs!
