I’m straight up contemplating a trip to Colorado with a Casa Bonita pit stop.
That's always a great idea, so much to see and do here! They said they would be doing a soft opening this weekend (with only people selected from the mailing list), so I am not sure exactly when they will be completely open. Keep in mind you will need tickets, and they might get sold out for a while. You may want to sign up with them to stay abreast.
Good to know. Eventually hoping to take a Colorado trip and will call ahead. Thanks
That's awesome! If you need ideas on what to do, feel free to shoot me a message. Casa Bonita is just the top of the iceberg. You can also visit castles and wrestle alligators here... if you want to.
So far the trip idea is driven by my love of what Colorado has to offer nature wise, followed by shrooms and now followed by Casa Bonita. Where should I look in terms of where to stay? My trip doesn’t need to revolve around Casa Bonita but I’d want to be within 30 or so minutes of it.
If you have a car go explore the different types of landscape Colorado has to offer. Go south to the Dunes and the rock dwellings, see a show at Red Rocks amphitheater, go west out to the high country and see the big mountains on the Million Dollar Highway to Telluride. Colorado is so much more than Denver (which is great, also but for different reasons). Maybe it's just more my vibe but I would consider staying in Cherry Creek area in south Denver if you have a vehicle and can get around.
You may want to check out Golden or Evergreen in terms of lodging. Golden is about 15 mins away, Evergreen is 30. Both are closer to the mountains and have some beautiful nature nearby as well as plenty of food options!
