Take the scenic drive up Trail Ridge Road to the Alpine Visitors Center! Emerald Lake is a great hike in the Bears Lake Area. Timed entry passes are needed to get into the main entrance and Bears Lake area. You can purchase those on recreation.gov
Walk around Pearl Street, go to Avanti for a rooftop bar/ eatery experience, Savannah Bee Company for honey and mead tastings, Illegal Pete’s for a quick bite, and Chautauqua Park for a great view of the Flatirons.
Let us know if you need hike recommendations. We enjoy Lost Lake via Hessie Trail (moderate hike). Crosscut Pizza is delicious!
A short but semi challenging hike. You can go for an alpine plunge, cliff jump, and watch people ski down the glacier!
Walk around the mountain town, check out the brewery and take the free gondola up the mountain.
A cute town near our wedding venue. We love Westbound and Down Brewing CO. Plenty of spots to eat outside and shop.
Have a picnic at Brainard lake or hike to Lake Isabelle. It’s a moderate hike to a beautiful alpine lake with mountain views. You’ll need a parking reservation from recreation.gov.
