As many of my regular readers know, I LOVE visiting Colorado. The Trekkers have traveled all around the state and it is, by far, one of my favorite places to vacation. See the list below for all of my favorite locations (I’ll keep adding to it as we check out more places.)
Colorado National Monument : An Amazing place to visit not far from Grand Junction!
Visiting Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak: Two beautiful sites just outside of Colorado Springs, on the Front Range!
San Luis Valley: Aliens, Sand Dunes and Sandhill Cranes!: One of my favorite places in Colorado!
Dinosaur National Monument: the Colorado Side: Scenic drives, a great hike, INCREDIBLE views, the Colorado side of this national monument has it all!
Guide to Colorado Backroads and 4WD Trails: A Book Review
Dinosaur National Monument: the Utah Side: As the park sits on the border between the two states, this portion of the park is actually in Utah. You can easily see both sides on your visit though, and this is where all the dinosaur bones are (so it’s pretty important)! 😉

The Best Hidden Gems of Northern Colorado: In this post, I review Lake Agnes at State Forest State Park, the Flattop Wilderness, and Grand Mesa National Forest, among other cool places!

11 “Don’t Miss” Sites in Colorado: Mesa Verde National Park; Route 550, the Million Dollar Highway; Ouray/True Grit film sites; Rifle/Rifle Falls; and even Oregon Trail Wheel Ruts (ok, these are actually in Wyoming but they were still cool!) 😝
