🌄 One Last Adventure (For Now)

Hey Adventurer! 🌲❄️

This isn’t a forever goodbye—it’s more of a “see you down the trail.” The Take More Adventures newsletter is taking a break for now, but that spirit of exploration? It’s still alive and well. Especially in Colorado.

We couldn’t leave without one last suggestion: make time this summer to explore these four underrated (but unforgettable) Front Range gems.

🏔️ Boulder: Hike, Eat, Repeat

If Boulder were a person, it’d be the friend who wakes you up at 6 a.m. for sunrise yoga and then takes you to brunch that involves five types of granola. From the Flatirons to Pearl Street, it’s full of outdoor magic and foodie delights. And yes, there’s kombucha on tap.

Try This:

  • Hike Mount Sanitas (get your steps in + a view)

  • Browse the Boulder Farmers Market (and try the peaches)

  • People-watch on Pearl Street (bonus points for spotting a street performer doing acrobatics with a hula hoop)

🍺 Fort Collins: Beer, Bikes & Bands

Fort Collins is like the cooler, more laid-back cousin of Boulder—less quinoa, more craft beer. It’s where bikes rule, murals are everywhere, and a random alley might lead you to a jazz trio playing in a courtyard.

Try This:

🏙️ Denver: Big City Energy, Rocky Mountain Backdrop

Denver’s got it all: towering street art, rooftop margaritas, late-night ramen, and a dog-to-human ratio that’s… impressive. It’s a city where you can thrift vintage cowboy boots, go to a Rockies game, and end the day at a dive bar with a surprisingly good cocktail.

Try This:

  • Stroll RiNo for murals and market vibes

  • Visit Meow Wolf if you like your art weird and immersive

  • Catch a sunset from City Park with skyline AND mountain views

🥇 Longmont: The Underrated MVP

Here’s your plot twist: Longmont. This charming underdog is giving the rest a run for their money with award-winning breweries, historic downtown strolls, and less traffic (seriously). It’s artsy, chill, and growing fast—so get in before everyone else catches on.
