Breathtaking 7-day Colorado Road Trip For Nature Lovers

Alluring views of  snow-capped mountains, some of the world’s most sought-after hiking trails, and unparalleled wildlife sightings are just a few of the staples of Colorado.

Even though Boulder is famed for being a popular college town, the best way to truly get to know it is by exploring its foothills and going for a hike or two.

Day 1: Boulder

Boasting over three hundred miles of hiking trails for all difficulty levels, you’re in for a real treat when it comes to spending time in nature.

DAYS 2 AND 3: ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK

One of the dreamiest destinations in Colorado thanks to its unique geological formation, rare flora hovering over the cliffs, and aqua blue water cascading down from the walls.

DAY 4: HANGING LAKE

This scenic road provides twelve viewpoints of the canyon, each more striking than the last.

DAY 5: BLACK CANYON OF THE GUNNISON NATIONAL PARK

As part of the San Juan Skyway, this highway loops 233 miles across some of the dreamiest Colorado alpine towns: Ouray, Telluride, Durango, and Ridgeway.

DAY 6 AND 7: DRIVE THE MILLION DOLLAR HIGHWAY

The drive itself is relatively short and can be done in two hours. However, give yourself at least two days to make stops along the way to enjoy the stunning views to your heart’s content.
