10 things to do in Colorado during a pandemic

If you are looking for 10 things to do in Colorado during a pandemic, you’ll want to hear how we spent 5 days there recently! We knew we needed a getaway, but also wanted to do it in the safest way possible. Going to Colorado and enjoying the the amazing views, hiking and biking is what we decided on. Even during a pandemic, there are ways to still enjoy life.

10 things to do in Colorado during a pandemic:

1. Stay in an Airbnb- referral code for up to $65 off a booking

   • We found an amazing place that was right on a lake in Dillon Colorado. 
   • Our stay here was 2 nights 
   • Each day we hiked around the lake- which was just steps out the door
   • We also brought our bikes with us biked 14 miles- there was an amazing trail right out front of the Airbnb 
   •

   • 
   • 

2. Play a game

   • The Airbnb was stocked with games, dvds, & a full kitchen 
   • We enjoyed Scrabble
   • Cooked dinner in both nights 
   • 

3. Have a local beer at Dillon Dam Brewery

   • 

4. Meditate

   • 

5. Take a cool hike

   • There are a million hikes around the Dillon area
   • We found one called Lily Pad Lake Trail
   • It ended up being about 3.3 miles  
   • Hiking up to the lake, there were some steep areas and with the altitude it made it a really great hike. The views were amazing!

6. Stay in a Bed and Breakfast-

   • The next 2 nights, we stayed at Mariposa Bed and Breakfast in Steamboat Springs. It was absolutely lovely and if you can make your way to Steamboat Springs- staying here is a must!
   • There were so many little cozy touches everywhere we looked 
   •

7. Go to a Hot Springs

   • we went to Strawberry Hot Springs
   • It was beautiful and freezing
   • To get to the hot springs there are some windy roads to take 
   • They only take cash or check (we forgot the cash we had brought and had to go back down the windy road to get it)
   • 3 different pool areas that are different degrees of hot
   • It was such a cool experience
   • During this time they are taking reservations only (you do need to make these ahead of time online) and you get a 2 hour slot- we stayed 1 hour of that & it was plenty of time to enjoy!

8. Drink tea by the fire

9. Have a cinnamon roll at Winona’s in Steamboat Springs

10. Tour a farm

    1. We currently have an small urban homestead and are interested in getting more land one day. While we were driving home there was a farm called McCauley Family farm that we stopped and toured 
    2. It was such a delight to meet Marcus and hear about how their regenerative whole-farm ecosystem is helping to nourish the people and planet. 
    3. We left there with several goodies from the farm & lots of ideas we want to incorporate as our farm grows
    4. 

Have you had any travel experience while in the pandemic? I would love to hear about where you have been! We found that there were plenty of ways to enjoy our trip- we packed hand sanitizer, wore masks everywhere, followed safe distancing and had a lovely time.
