When we planned our Colorado itinerary, we wanted the right balance of activities and relaxation. It had been a busy year for us and while we usually love adventures, we wanted to have some downtime to unwind.

Luminova Holiday Lights in Denver Colorado
Luminova holiday lights at Elitch Gardens did not disappoint. The lights were beautifully done. There were plenty of fun photo spots. The admission tickets also included some of the rides.
Natural Hot Springs Glenwood Springs Colorado
Soaking in natural healing water with a snowy mountain view in Glenwood Hot Springs Pool was a unique experience. They have a 104F hot pool at 104F, and a large pool at a milder 90F temperature.
Skating at Keystone Lake Ice Rink
With falling snow and a classic evergreen tree in the center, skating at Keystone Lake Ice Rink felt like we were skating inside a snow globe. The lake is so huge that it did not feel too crowded and the views are amazing.
