Colorado Vacation Lovin'

As a little girl I loved the outdoors and nature. This love for nature was mainly fueled by an annual trip to Colorado every Summer right before school started. Every aspect of preparing for this trip made me giddy and excited because it was something I looked forward to and loved very much. Our family would pack up and hit the road to make the fourteen hour trip. We traveled through Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Colorado to get to our destination.

Our cabins are in a tiny little town called Ohio City right outside of Gunnison, CO. Ohio City is a quaint little town full of retired folk and families getting away for the

summer to relax. Our cabin is a cute little two bedroom cabin that has a stream flowing behind it. The stream is perfect for tubbing down, fishing, and finding cool rocks to collect. Directly in front of the cabin is a nice view of some smaller mountains and lots of wildlife.

Along with having a vacation spot in Colorado comes activities. We go four-wheeling, camping, hiking, shopping, sightseeing, fishing, and spend quality time with family. One of my favorite towns to visit while in Colorado is Crested Butte. Crested Butte is a gorgeous little town with lots of life and amazing views. In this town we eat at The Secret Stash which is a tradition, where we eat pizza and salad then climb to the top of the Butte(the mountain). We don't exactly climb we really ride the ski lift up then walk a short ways. Haha.

Summer vacation is what I look forward to every year because that's when I have time off from track. Colorado gives me a week off from training which is perfect and gets me ready for a long season ahead of training.

All in all I recommend Colorado for a perfect vacation spot if you are seeking adventure and beauty.
