Denver International Airport

Every detail about how I pulled off a trip around the Western United States and saw some of the country's most incredible natural wonders for less than $1,300 total. 🤯 Of course, this is the exact route that we used, but there are plenty of other options to choose from. Keep in mind, this is definitely not the itinerary to follow if you are looking to spend a significant amount of time in one specific area. We intentionally planned to see some major highlights along the trip and knew going into it that we would miss a lot of what these parks have to offer.

It's a secret to absolutely no one that Colorado is home to some of the most amazing adventures. It's definitely one of my favorite states for weekend adventures (if we are picking favorites :)) This guide is perfect for adventure lovers as you will be on the go from the moment the flight touches down. Here's a quick overview of what's inside!
