Lake San Isabel is such a beautiful place to visit this summer! Please be mindful when visiting outdoor spaces. Stick to trails, pack out all trash, and leave nature exactly as you found it. Let’s help protect these beautiful spots for everyone to enjoy 💚#colorado

If you’re looking for a fun little mountain escape, @coppermtn makes a great day trip from Denver. It’s about an hour and 20 minutes, give or take, depending on traffic. They have a lot of summer activities to choose from including go-karts, a mountain coaster, biking, and fishing. For our afternoon, we kept things relaxed and tried the bumper boats at West Lake. Tickets are $15 per person, and the ride lasts around 20 minutes. We also explored some of the local shops, picked up mini donuts from Sugar Lips, and grabbed pizza to-go from @sauceoncopper . We ended the day sitting by the river and enjoying our food! 📍 @coppermtn 509 Copper Rd, Frisco, Co #colorado #denver #explorecolorado #summer

🧈Did you know Colorado is home to the world’s first butter bar? @bellalacrema offers a one-of-a-kind tasting experience with over 20 rotating flavors of handcrafted, cultured butter made in-house with organic ingredients, cream from local grass-fed cows, and blended with real herbs and spices. Tastings are completely free, and you can sample as many flavors as you want, from sweet to savory. We tried everything from Whiskey Pumpkin Spice to Bourbon Cream Dream and Rosemary Garlic, and every bite was incredible. 🧈 And yes 🙌 you can take your favorite butters home! Flights to-go are available for purchase, or you can buy individual tins and butter bars to stock up. 🥖 They also serve to-go bites like baguettes and sandwiches 🙌 we recommend pre-ordering those for the best experience. 👯‍♀️ And yes, they even offer private tastings, which would be so perfect for a girls’ night or foodie outing. Such a cool and unexpected experience tucked away in Longmont 🙌 definitely worth a visit! 📍 @bellalacrema 931 Main St, Longmont, CO #butterbar #longmontcolorado #colorado

If your feed looks anything like ours, you’ve probably been seeing these beautiful fruit desserts all over. We found two spots in Colorado that actually make them, and yes, they taste as good as they look. 📍 Evergreen Café – 830 N Tejon St @evergreen_cosprings has more than just pastries. Come for dinner and stay for dessert, or just swing by for a drink and a dessert and make it a cute little treat-yourself moment. They’ve got a rotating lineup from mango to raspberry to hazelnut and more. 📍 @fevco.chocolat – 3350 Brighton Blvd If you’re looking for something local and quick, Fev’co Chocolat is a gorgeous little chocolate & pastry shop 👏 with fruit desserts too. They’ve got fewer options, but they’re just as stunning and delicious. Perfect for a grab-and-go sweet fix. 🍰 Both spots rotate their dessert offerings, so keep an eye on their Instas to catch the latest drops. #colorado #denver #denvereats

THE BEST SUMMER ACTIVITIES ARE IN IMONDI WAKE ZONE IN COLORADO #colorado #Summer

Paradise Cove | Swimming hole #colorado With summer heating up, Paradise Cove is a great spot to cool off. Located about two hours from Denver near the town of Guffey, this swimming hole is known for its waterfall, and popular cliff-diving. The hike to reach the water is pretty short, around 8- 10 minutes. Jump at your own risk👏SAFETY FIRST! Heads up: It gets busy on weekends, so plan to go early or visit during the week for a better chance at parking and space by the water. 👏 Quick reminder to pack out everything you bring in—snacks, water bottles, and any trash. Let’s help keep beautiful spots clean and enjoyable for everyone. Leave no trace! 🌿 13999 Main St, Guffey, CO #colorado #denver #explorecoloradosprings
