My college friend Katie and I met in Denver for 6 days of city and nature adventuring. It was quite the trip with some ups and downs, but what a cool city. The first day, I walked around Downtown and we biked along Cherry Creek. We got a delicious dinner at Linger, rounding out a crazy first day since Katie was sick. The next day we drove to Rocky Mountain National Park and hiked. We got stuck in a downpour and the California girls that we are were not prepared for 40 degree rain hikes in our tank tops and shorts. I got to catch up with a friend from high school at Red Rocks that night and we saw an amazing concert put on by GroupLove and Head and the Heart. Garden of the Gods brought another rain storm hike, but man was it an incredible spot. That night we got the best dinner at this Italian place- wine, zucchini noodle bruschetta and some delicious pizza. My dairy free dreams came true with vegan chocolate ice cream from the famous Little Man ice cream. That night they were playing funny YouTube videos to keep you entertained in line and they had a photo booth so we could memorialize this amazing moment. We got to explore downtown some more and went to a cool food truck festival and got to see a Rockies game! They lost in the end, but it ended up being a nice day with a break from the rain. The last day brought more rain and since we were tired, we kept it low key. Coffee, bowling and art district exploring before heading back to the airport. Overall, it was an amazing trip and I can't wait to go back and explore more!
