Be Inspired - My Trip to Colorado

My husband and I had a great time on our trip to Colorado, we had a little adventure everyday. We had the opportunity to visit Denver, Colorado Springs, and Boulder all fantastic cities.

Colorado is an amazingly beautiful state!

The mountains are so beautiful. I don't think the people who live there realize just how beautiful their cities are.

A couple of thing that really struct me about Colorado was all the open land, their seemed to be breathing room even in their downtown area.  The building were not on top of each other and their was lots of space to walk around. Another thing, was how many businesses had solar panels. They have solar panels every where, including gas stations, stores, government offices, and an amazing solar panel field that powered the airport. It was a site to see.

I took a few photos and here are a few of my favorites.

Denver, CO - I took this photo while we were driving

Colorado Springs, CO - Garden of the Gods





Boulder CO - Amazing architecture


Manitou, CO - This was a cute little town, as you can see in the background. I loved this sculpture, all recycled metal.


Have you ever been to Colorado?

  1. Your photos are beautiful Valerie! The red rock formations in particular!!! This is on my long list of places to visit. It looks incredibly different from the White Mountains that I frequent. That sculpture is a stunner!

  7. Colorado is one of the states we've always wanted to visit but never made it there. My son is planning to move to Denver in the fall, so I think we will be visiting there before the end of the year!
    Your pictures are beautiful and I'm glad you had a good time!

  8. You had a gorgeous day at Garden of the Gods! Is the Camera Obscura still there? Only went to CO once, on the way west moving to California. We drove to the summit of Pike Peak where it was 37 and sleeting, in July. It was 95 down below in CO Springs. Drove out to Cripple Creek. Stayed in Denver but didn't do anything there. Pretty neat place!

  11. I'm so glad you and your husband enjoyed your trip! It looks gorgeous in Colorado; I may have to add the Garden of the Gods to my list of places to go someday. :) Great photos, too!

    Also, it's fantastic that there are so many solar panels out there! Let's hope they continue to spread. :)

    I hope your husband had a wonderful birthday!
