colorado adventures <3

the views in colorado are definitely some of the most unforgettable i’ll ever experience. from the great sand dunes to the garden of the gods and driving 15,000 feet above sea level to reach the summit of pike’s peak, there was so much to see and do in colorado! everything was gorgeous, the people were so diverse and pleasant, and the memories that were created will stick with me for a lifetime. forever wishing that i could have stayed and lived in colorado for the rest of my life. one of my favorite trips to date. #nationalpark #unforgettableexperiences #travelinspiration #naturalwonders #scenicspotguide

ROCKY MOUNTAINS, AND COLORADO SPRINGS

Rocky mountains Yesterday had the opportunity to travel from Glenwood Springs to Denver, passing through the Rocky Mountains National Park. The total journey takes 6.5 hours, with the scenery along the way dominated by the mountains and the Colorado river. The California Zephyr train departs from Glenwood Springs after a long journey from Emeryville and will be heading to Chicago as a final stop. Booking tickets from the Amtrak app the day before, for 89$, including expensive because even then you get a seat at the lower level, usually the normal price is around 47$. During the trip we can enjoy the view from the observation coach, and are given 2 hours to hang out and enjoy the outside view. The areas that are passed are areas in the middle of nowhere, the cellphone signal is also not affordable, so what we can do is enjoy the view while accompanied by snacks sold in the canteen (the canteen does not accept cash, only cards). A short report written in rocky mountains and Colorado Springs 😊 #camping#hiking#infinitypool#themepark#lakes

Best overlook photo spot in Colorado

#summervacation #hikingtrails #awesomepic If you're looking for the best of Colorado, Pikes Peak has the view to make the trip worth it! Driving along cliffs as high as 14,115 ft is exhilarating. The hike can be expected to take only between 10 to 30 minutes. #hiking#summervacation#hikingtrails

Colorado Fall Colors

#fallcolors#100waysoftravel 💞Reasons to Recommend: Colorado Fall Colors. I have been paying attention to the peak time of Yezi this year, because it may be completely wrong. Over. I came back on Wednesday night. There was a time difference on Saturday, so I didn't go until today. In fact, the peak time has passed. But some scenes can still be seen from some angles. #historicallandmarks #localguides #couplestrip

Park with unique rock formations and shapes

WONDERFUL "HOME AWAY FROM HOME!!!"

We recently experienced a sudden and unexpected family loss which made the thought of celebrating the 2023 Thanksgiving & Christmas holidays at home unbearable. Although the Element Downtown Colorado Springs was only 20 minutes away, my wife, daughter and I felt this would be the perfect staycation to provide an alternative atmosphere. What a cheerful and uplifting experience this was! From the moment we arrived we were uplifted by the bright, decorative and cheerful decor and staff. Assistant manager (PUA) provided a free upgrade to the one bedroom commons full living room/kitchen suite which made our Thanksgiving hosting with family and friends go beautifully and front desk staff member (ROCIO) checked on our well-being frequently from the morning of our arrival alerting us our suite was ready for a very early check-in all the way through our departure. There is no doubt whatsoever that the Element will be our "home away from home" as we navigate through this difficult time for our family moving forward. We would be remiss if we didn't also recognize the assistant manager (FRITZIE) who provided a tour the week before our stay so that we could make sure our upgraded suite would accommodate all of us for Thanksgiving and Christmas as well as the Lumen 8 rooftop restaurant manager (KIM) who was also so compassionate and accommodating during our stay. IF WE COULD GIVE THIS HOTEL 100 STARS WE MOST CERTAINLY WOULD ... THANK YOU TO OUR ELEMENT "FAMILY"!!! #familytrip

Beautiful Colorado Springs

Reflections on New Year's Eve: Indulgence and Hope

I report on how we spent New Year’s Eve 😅💃🏻 As the Great Gatsby bequeathed: “Everything that falls on the floor is considered drunk and should be ashamed. And everything that is able to move and walk is sober and cheerful”. Reflecting on a spirited New Year's Eve, indulgence takes center stage. Amidst laughter, indulgent dishes, and shared moments, the past year fades, leaving behind the promise of the future.
