The “more is more” culture of Colorado is something that every resident is familiar with. This is much more than just an attitude, its a lifestyle. Along with this lifestyle, most Colorado residents believe that some things are just that much better when they are together. This list will detail some quintessential Colorado adventures that can be enjoyed as a couple. From biking and hiking to craft beers and wildflowers, everything is better when you are together.
Hot Springs and Hiking
After a long hike, nothing in the world feels better than a relaxing soak in a hot spring. Colorado residents can enjoy these natural wonders year-round. Nature has blessed us with fantastic hot springs all over the state.
Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort
If you are looking for a great place to relax, check out Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort. Nearby is the Narrow Gauge Trail, which features a natural out-and-back course that meanders through a beautiful forest.
At the resort, you have the choice between sprawling exercise and relaxation pools as well as the ever-popular Japanese style pool or a 400-foot water slide.
Piedra River Hot Springs
Not far for the relaxing Pagosa Springs, you can enjoy a more rustic feeling spring. The location is remote and provides both privacy and intimacy. This is an excellent area for both taking a dip and a romantic picnic.
Biking and Beers
The only thing that Coloradans might be more passionate about than biking is their beers. Here are some great ways to enjoy two-wheeled nature and relax with a pint.
Fort Collins
In Fort Collins, several great guided bicycle tours are locally owned and give riders the inside scoop on the local hot spots. The four-hour tour quickly covers six miles and has stops at three tasty local breweries. These stops include New Belgium, Odell Brewing Co., and Funkwerks. The bicycle even consists of a basket for brews and other goodies along the way.
Boulder
To bike n’ brew in Boulder, riders can utilize the city’s B-Cycle program. This means you can rent a townie-style bike for just $8 and return it at any of the 30 stations around town.
The self-guided bike tour will take you downtown, and hotspots such as West Flanders and Mountain Sun are close by. If you get tired of pedaling, you can hop on the bike-friendly Jump bus to hitch a ride back to town.
Wildflowers & Wine
Colorado is also known to have excellent conditions for producing some of the nation’s best wine, as well as some beautiful wildflowers. When they are combined, they form an intoxicatingly romantic duo.
Crested Butte
If you are looking to enjoy both wine and wildflowers, head over to Crested Butte for some fantastic festivals. Every July, they host the Wildflower Festival as well as the Wine & Food Festival.
This gives flower lovers the chance to hike, take 4×4 tours, or even classes on wildflowers, edibles, and medicinal herbs. Foodies can spend nearly a week enjoying some of the best food and wine from around not only the state but the world.
