Top Parks in Colorado

I suggest downloading a map of the park before you go. The signage isn't the best, and you don't wanna waste time getting lost.

Be sure to wear good walking shoes! Some trails are rocky and can get slippery, so save yourself the trouble.

Watch out for parking! I ended up driving around for a bit. If you can, consider public transport or rideshare to save time and hassle.

I think it's worth checking out the art installations throughout the park. I missed a few because I didn’t realize they were there until I left. Take some time to explore the whole area!

Plan to stick around for sunset. The views of the mountains are stunning as the sun goes down; it’s the perfect way to end the day.

Arrive around 10 AM to avoid the crowds and snag a good parking spot. It fills up quickly, especially on weekends.

If you're looking to save some cash, bring a picnic! The on-site food is a bit pricey for what you get, and there are nice spots to chill outside.

I suggest hitting the trails early in the morning, around 7 AM, to beat the crowds and enjoy the fresh mountain air. It's way more peaceful and you can catch some stunning views with the sunrise

If you're looking to save some cash, bring your own snacks and drinks... There aren’t many food options inside the park, and the prices can be steep... Plus, a picnic in nature is the best!

My advice is to bring your own snacks or have a picnic! There’s not much in the way of food options around, so save some cash and pack a lunch.

i suggest visiting in the morning around 9 am when it's cooler and the flowers are at their best. it was peaceful and not crowded which made it easier to take photos and enjoy the scenery.
