Okay, so every month on this blog, we tout why that particular month is the “best.” But let’s get real – October is truly the greatest month of the year in Colorado. Seriously! Not only is the weather outside perfect, this is the time of year where all of your favorite scary movies are playing …
Fall is in the air! It’s crisper, cooler, and flannel-shirt-inducing. Not only do you “feel” fall, you can also see it in the changing leaf colors. This transition from green to yellow, orange, and red is incredible to witness, so make sure you take your friends or family on a fall foliage road trip this …
Did you know that there are more songs about the month of September than any other month? Well, we’ve never actually gone around and taken an official count, but it seems that way, right?

Colorado is known as an outdoor destination, but over the past few years, it has quickly become one of the top dining destinations in the country.

Beware! April Fool’s Day approaches and sneaky pranksters are afoot! Watch out for Vaseline-covered doorknobs, switched-out shoelaces, loosely-screwed-in salt shaker caps, cranked-up volume dials on your laptop, and questionable word-replacement on your cell phone texts.
