I have been lucky enough to spend a decent amount of time in Colorado. My mom grew up in Denver and we still have family living in Colorado that we get to visit often. We did a southern Colorado road-trip one summer just like this one! I highly recommend exploring the area.

When to go?

I recommend this road-trip for early summer or early fall for the best weather! Colorado’s weather is always a bit unpredictable so I recommend packing layers!

Denver

The road trip adventure starts in the capital city! Spend two nights to explore the city & some attractions nearby!

If you would like more recommendations for Denver check out my Denver City Guide!
