I have lived in Colorado for just over 30 years and this list is spot on! These are definitely some of the gems that should be on anyone's Colorado bucket list. Thanks for another great video - Kirk
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching.
A major bonus bowls in Telluride and Ouray 😵💫
Yes Mount Princeton hot springs was on the top … rafting in Purdue river in Fort Collins and Estes park .. and a trip from Nederland to caribou …
Fantastic, sounds like you've visited some awesome places in Colorado! Do you have any plans this year?
Very good 👍 👏 👌 Thank you ❤️
I enjoy this presentation. Great photography. Great voice over. I hate the videos where people try too hard to be funny. Great info, right to the point. Professional production. Thank you.
WOW! High praise! Thank you!
Hey you missed the dragon man museum. Incredable !!!
Yes true
Great tip, thanks so much! We'll have to check it out.
Santa's Work Shop is a great place and so is Cave of the Winds in Colorado Springs 😊
Oh yes, we agree! We have a whole video about Cave of the Winds and it's a fun destination for kids and adults. Great suggestions and thanks for watching!
Your videos are informative . Rocky mountain national park is a must visit place .
Yes, it's a beautiful landscape that's still mostly untouched. Thanks so much for watching!!
I had been to 4 from your list last year in end of last May (Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Red Rocks Amphitheater & Park, Royal Gorge Bridge & Train). The others on your list I am planning on future trip to Colorado, but I would add 7 Falls at Colorado Springs to bucket list as well.
Yay! Glad to hear that you've already visited some of these with plans to see more of them. Colorado is such a great state for bucket list items. Oh yes, Seven Falls is a fantastic addition and destination in Colorado Springs. Thanks for the suggestion!
I will be emigrating from Europe to the USA at the end of 2024. I've been thinking about it for a long time, especially regarding the process of my integration, as I would have it much "easier" in the coastal regions. I don't want to make it too easy for myself and want to learn the customs and language properly. Colorado comes first at the moment, of course I have to see where I can find work but I have already been able to make some contacts in Colorado, it doesn't look bad. I would be very happy if that works out.
GO FOR IT! Dive right on in!
I think CO is a great place for international folks. Denver is a big enough city that you can find food or people that represent just about every corner of the globe. And the state of CO is big enough that you can easily escape into the mountains and forget there is a metropolis of 3mil people nearby.
If you like being outside and really strive for a good work-life balance, then CO will be a perfect fit.
Keep in mind tho, one of the biggest hurdles for anyone moving here is the elevation.
@@HashtagColoradoLife Thank you very much, I was also immediately impressed by Colorado, the mixture of big city and beautiful nature. Thank goodness I'm also used to the elevation, I spent my childhood in the mountains before I later moved to the urban jungle. I miss nature and mountains, which is why Colorado immediately came to the top of my list of favorite places in the USA. Hopefully we'll meet on the roads there later, keep your fingers crossed for me. 🤞🏻😁
Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad
100% a very awesome trip and especially so for those with kiddos.
Dinosaur National Monument is well worth the visit, on the border with Utah.
Telluride and Breckenridge are excellent ski towns to visit, as is Aspen.
The Air Force Academy Chapel in Colorado Springs is a great place to visit too.
I'm partial to the charm of Boulder.
The AFA Chapel has been under renovations for like 3 years now! Just this great big white cube-tent as of now. But everything you suggested is accurate.
Dinosaur is good. But early summer is cedar gnat season if you're near the high desert pinyon & juniper trees. Consider long pants, long sleeve shirt, and maybe have a head net.
👍👍
Thanks so much for watching!
Don’t forget Casa Bonita! It’s the best!
HAHAHA ok yes I do think Casa Bonita is pretty worthy of this list. BUT! We haven't been there since before the pandemic and it acquired new management so can't speak to how it is currently. I do hear there are cliff divers and a gorilla that run about.
Thanks for NOT including some of my favorite places. I like my secret places. But, in general, a good video. 😎
Glad to hear it :) Thanks for watching!
So funny today a very close friend of mine . She was planning a tour for her few friends coming out of state… and I told her few places in Colorado to go and enjoy them…
Yay! Hope your friend has an amazing time visiting the state this year.
Great video but how about Mount Evans and Bridal Veil Falls in Telluride.
Totally worthy of being on this list! The list would be toooooooo looooong if we included everything worth seeing in CO.
Also, Mt Evans is now named Mount Blue Sky.
When would be the best time to visit with little kids? (2,4,6)
The Million Dollar Highway between Silverton and Ouray or Black Canyon of the Gunnison
Great suggestions! The Million Dollar Highway is a really awesome drive. The Collegiate Peak Scenic Byway is also a good one... hmmmm you gave me a good idea on a new video! TY!
can you please tell me what time is best to visit Colorado
if we had to choose between visiting the buena vista area or the glenwood springs area, which one would be better for a family of 4 with 2 girls ages 8 and 10?
Pretty even I think. Both towns are about the same size, have equal opportunity to get out into nature and have roughly the same sort of things to do / eat in each town. Oh and both have hot springs.
I think it comes down to more what you want to do. Glenwood is a bit more relaxing as it's easy to just park at the hotel and walk everywhere in the city (defo stay at the Glenwood Hot Springs Lodge if you pick this place) and stay up later sitting in the hot springs. While Buena Vista is a bit more make-your-own-fun and getting out everyday.
@@HashtagColoradoLife thank you for the reply! really looking forward to this trip :)
I love your videos. I just accepted a job offer and will be moving to Colorado this Summer. Is there any real estate companies you would recommend since you are a local and has a wealth of knowledge?
Thank you so much!! And grats on moving to Colorado this summer, how exciting! Yes, we are currently working with a real estate company (the same one we used five years ago) to sell our current home and upgrade to a new one. We have two recommendations:
The Platinum Group or Kenney & Company. We have worked with both of them, as has some of our friends and colleagues. Great real estate agents to work with! Hope this helps.
thank you so much! by the way, I love listening to your voice!😂
I will be flying in to Denver for a week in Jun8-15. Can someone suggest what not to miss? I am happy to accept all sorts of suggestions …. On the routing…..
Few ideas that keep you pretty close to Denver:
Try to see a show at Red Rocks amphitheater (or just go hike around there)
Estes Park & Rocky Mnt Natl Park
Zoo / Denver Art Museum / Denver Museum of Nature & Science
Sloans Lake area is nice with some great places to eat and get outside
Maroon Bells
Totally worthy of the list (but busy)! But also on a of other lists. Wanted to try to give something a bit different
Picture at the end is nice. But wise not to include the Bells on a family-oriented list. They are dangerous climbs with loose rock and a lot of exposure. I did both back in the 1990s. Fun days, but I had had the necessary training to do them safely.@@HashtagColoradoLife
No Telluride? Otherwise a good list
I think Telluride was in the 2023 video. Try to keep things fresh. But indeed Telluride is very deserving of being on this list!
This is touristy shit that people do year 1 of moving to Colorado 🤣 Locals stay away from most of these places 🤷🏻♂️
