Colorado Things to Do: Experiencing the Best of Colorado Outdoors
If there were two words that sum up Colorado, they would be: adventures outdoors. Whether you’re a tourist or a native, people expect their free time in Colorado to be spent outside in the sun with endless things to do. At 5,280 miles above sea level, a vacation in Colorado would be wasted if you don’t take a trip into the majestic Rocky Mountains.
If you’ve been to or you live in Colorado, I’d bet a nickel for every time you were asked, “What are the best things to do in Colorado?” or “My friend/relative is visiting Colorado, where should I take them?” These are the best things to do in Colorado and they surely will not disappoint.
Whitewater Rafting
Ok, ok, maybe we are being a little biased here with whitewater rafting, but seriously, how many people do you know said they had a bad time rafting in Colorado? People who paddled in the mighty Arkansas River (the world’s most commonly rafted river) with one of our experienced and friendly tour guides leave exhilarated and wanting more.
There are 95 miles of river here and plenty of experience levels and challenges to choose from; it’s like being a kid in a candy store. Another benefit of rafting with us besides the delicious gourmet meals is the amazing views of Browns Canyon where Colorado wildlife are often spotted alongside the river and up the canyons.
Hiking & Biking
Colorado? Mountains? Outdoors? Hiking is one of our favorite pass times and being out in the wilderness bonding with Mother Nature is one of the ways that keeps Colorado laid-back.
Some of us that like to go a little faster and harder prefer mountain biking and, quite frankly, our knees thank us for it. There’s nothing quite like cruising with the wind through your hair and the smell of fresh air and pine trees.
We’ll help you remember what it was like to be young while exploring the great outdoors on two wheels.
Horseback Riding
Horseback riding is Colorado’s second most popular outdoor activity because it’s a great taste of the Wild West with an elevated view of the beautiful landscape as you bond with a magnificent creature.
A peaceful ride along Chalk Creek to a railroad bed or to a waterfall is just what the doctor ordered. A journey through the wilderness with your trusty steed is an exciting yet calm way to explore Colorado outdoors.
Just a little bit of nature-therapy to nourish your soul.
Zip-Lining
For those looking for a more thrilling taste of Colorado zip line tours, soaring through the forest’s tree tops will get your heart pumping. This is a great way to spice up family vacations while also lowering your blood pressure and burning calories.
Feelings of accomplishment, bravery, excitement, and being like a bird soaring through the trees are included.
