Join me for one week exploring the beautiful state of Colorado and taking in the fall foliage. In the past, I lived in Colorado for several years so I am incredibly excited for the opportunity to share some of my favorite places with you :) This will be an active trip, so some hiking experience and physical fitness is required. Each day will be a new adventure! The trip will start and end in Denver and we will all share a rental car. Highlights include Rocky Mountain National Park, Hanging Lake, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, and the San Juan Mountains.
About me! I am in the process of completing my graduate degree and looking forward to travel as much as I can before transitioning into my career. In the past, I spent many years working in the hospitality industry including tour guiding. I love experiencing new cultures, places, foods and people. When traveling, I like well-balanced trips that combine different types of experiences while also having some time for slowing down and relaxation.
Details about the accommodation: During our trip, we will have accommodation in a total of 4 different towns as we drive through different areas of Colorado. We will be staying in shared rooms in hotels or apartments. The exact location will be determined once the total number of tripmates is confirmed. Individual rooms can be requested for additional cost.

Denver
Tag 1
We will hang around the city of Denver until everyone arrives. Depending on everyone's preferences, we can hang around the city and river, explore the art museum, or visit the botanical gardens. Once we have the whole group together, we will head towards our first night's accommodation in Estes Park. On the way there we will stop in Boulder where we can explore Pearl Street Mall and have a group dinner together.

Rocky Mountain National Park
Tag 1-2
After spending the night in the charming town of Estes Park, we will wake up early and head to Rocky Mountain National Park. Here we will explore the incredible landscapes and do some hiking. The level of difficulty will be chosen based on everyone's experience as well as the weather conditions. Most likely we will do a few moderate, shorter length hikes to see some of the highlights of the park. Afterwards, if the weather allows, we will drive over Trail Ridge Road (the highest elevation paved road in America), as we continue our journey into the mountains.
