Sponsored Content: I worked with Visit Colorado to support this Northern Colorado trip, however, all opinions expressed here are mine. And the itinerary was determined by me based on things I like to do.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you think of Colorado, you probably think of the mountains, skiing in the winter, and hiking in the summer<\/a>. However, when you look closer at Colorado, you realize that she\u2019s much more than that. She\u2019s complex, and in my opinion, that\u2019s what makes Colorado (or any destination) so great to visit; it surprises you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no idea why I\u2019ve decided to make Colorado a female \u2013 maybe it is because she\u2019s unpredictable, or maybe I just like to think of the state as a place where badass, tough females live. Who knows\u2026but I\u2019m going with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This trip through Northern Colorado was full of surprises and new experiences. Not only did I do traditional hiking, but I also took on horseback riding, cattle penning, mountain biking, and kayaking! I examined Colorado\u2019s art scene as well as its western culture and roots, and I ate\u2026a lot. Who would think that in these small mountain towns and ranches, you can find such incredibly sophisticated food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
