Indian hot springs was kinda ratchet the last time my family and I went. Glenwood had better hot springs
Great Sand Dunes is really NOT a day trip from Denver. It’s 4 hours one way just to get there.
You should check us out. You might be pleasantly surprised 😉
Great and usefull video many thanks
This is pretty much the most basic, touristy, shit destinations that you can pretty much just Google. Most of these places I wouldn't be caught dead in during the tourist seasons unless you want to spend hours in traffic. Even Glenwood on the Western slope is several hours from Denver but has super heavy traffic. The sand dunes might be the only exception and that's probably the farthest away on this list, not really a great day trip from Denver. I pretty much disagree with this entire list. There are far better destinations like Buena Vista and Salida, Nederland, Gold Hill and an endless list of small towns that aren't just tourist traps and hard to get to because of heavy traffic

I've been to nearly all of these and I don't know if I would call all of them a day trip. The Sand Dunes are a good place to visit, but it's 4 hours from Denver. I don't even know if I would make some of these a weekend trip given how much there is to do at some of these places (Breck/Dillon/Vail).
I’m born and raised here, too….and I’m STUNNED you didn’t even mention the COG railway up Pikes Peak! Like…are you KIDDING?? Come on, now!
Awesome video! I got so many great ideas for when my parents visit 🙂
Abraços do Brasil! 😉
Are these places easy to get to if you don’t have a car?
Love this video. I’ve been to most of these locations as a northern Coloradan. I do think that the Dillon/Frisco area is often overlooked. Which I’m glad about as most people go on to Breckenridge or Vail. There is so much to do in Dillon with the lake there. There’s great bike trails, hiking, and skiing within 10-15 minutes in the winter. Then there’s sailing, kayaking or paddle boarding on the lake. Frisco is a gem. It’s my favorite spot in the state as it’s only 2 hrs from where I live and so much to do.
Amazing video! Epic locations
