You could do Pikes Peak, Manitou Springs and Garden of the Gods in one awesome day. Start with Pikes Peak (9am) since they close early, spend lunch in Manitou Springs and finish the day at the Garden of the Gods - the low afternoon/sunset sun makes those red sandstone formations look amazing. You still have time for dinner back in town.

[@HashtagColoradoLife]

👆 This is a good itinerary suggestion.

[@Mike80528]

Just be aware Garden of the Gods can get get crowded as can Manitou, especially on weekends during peak season.

[@michaelwall1721]

Great list, thanks for sharing!

[@SUNYetti]

If you’re active duty or a veteran you can go to national parks for free. Just to let the fellow veterans know

[@HashtagColoradoLife]

Great tip, thanks so much for sharing!

[@JedediahTombstone]

The program includes Active Duty, Reservists, Veterans, Gold Star Families, Dependents, National Guard, and Senior Citizens. It’s also not limited to National Park lands, and includes several other agencies having jurisdiction, like US Forestry Department. I got an annual pass upon arriving at the gate of Yosemite by showing them my CAC card and I think I filled out a short form with basic info.

Man, this makes me emotional. Fell absolutely in love with Colorado (and someone there!). Moving permanently in around a year. Terrified but so excited.

[@HashtagColoradoLife]

Sounds like you have an incredible time ahead of you. I find moving is an easy way to reinvent yourself and create new habits and lifestyle. Take advantage of it and have fun and good luck!

[@lillyreicks3380]

This is exactly why I'm researching Colorado! Gonna Hopefully move up there soon! Best of luck!

[@InfiniteTripping]

Great suggestions, thanks for the video. Yet to visit Canon City and Cripple Creek from your list, hope to catch them soon.

[@HashtagColoradoLife]

Yes, hopefully you can visit these towns soon. They're such great places and hidden gems in the state!

[@Mike80528]

The Petrified Ancient Redwoods at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument are near Cripple Creek and worth a look if in the area.

[@HashtagColoradoLife]

Yes the Fossil Beds are really awesome. Blown away by how enormous some of those petrified tree stumps are. I can't imagine seeing them IRL.

[@TomboyGirlfriend]

Planning on visiting in December :) ty for the video

[@HashtagColoradoLife]

[@picklepotpieofficial]

[@HashtagColoradoLife]

Hello Ryan, I live in San Francisco , California and plan to visit few of the towns in Colorado this year Christmas for 10 days. I concern about the highway condition during the winter time especially at the Christmas season. Aspen, Vail, Keystone, Telluride, and Breckenridge are the place I plan to stay. I might add a few more town to visit. I just wonder. Does the highway is drivable between these towns during the winter season?

[@HashtagColoradoLife]

Likely. Unless there is some insane snow storm that is happening. But the federally funded highway system has a LOT of workers and plows out there full time to make sure things are moving constantly. The only caveat to that is if you are taking smaller highways (2 lanes). Any of the major roads/highways should be open.

[@zap...]

Pikes Peak is not in the city limits of Colorado Springs.

[@HashtagColoradoLife]

Thanks for the input and for watching!

[@nenanenica6783]
