"...Thanks for giving us the resources to empower us to do great things."

[We] had an amazing sunset that we would have missed if we didn’t camp – it was surreal. Thanks for giving us the resources to empower us to do great things. One of my daughter’s favorite parts was just changing plans the day-of and doing something completely different.

Christi, k.

Let me pull back the curtain...

…and show you how I hiked one of Colorado’s most popular 14ers (Grey’s Peak) and had the entire summit to myself on a summery Saturday morning. 

This hike is less than 40 minutes from Denver and the line of cars parked along the road is often miles long. 

It is ENTIRELY possible to enjoy Colorado’s most scenic hikes with virtually no one around. 

Standing on top of that summit, watching the mighty shadow of the mountain crawl across the valley below was something I’ll never forget.

Meet Meg

Colorado has been my home base for over 13 years. I’ve scoured the state for the absolute best scenery, most engaging hikes, and a few thrills along the way.

And guess what? I do 99% of my Colorado travels as a weekend warrior. Yup, I still do this, even though I work for myself. 

So if you’re looking for expert advice on how to make the most of your weekends, you’re in good company.

After YEARS of weekend shenanigans, I wanted to pass that Holy Grail of knowledge onto you.

When I’m not outside, you can find me writing for the outdoor industry. I literally get paid to hike.

You won’t find a better expert on hiking in Colorado anywhere else.

Imagine how much different your Colorado weekend vacay could look if…

You had trusted, local insight from a pro instead of relying on the busy “best of” lists on the internet?

You saw an amazing mountain sunrise bursting with color and had all the juicy pics to share with your friends.

Instead of swimming through crowds, you could find instant solitude for a stress-free getaway.

You’ve got your vacay planned instead of spending hundreds of hours scouring the internet for info about how to see the best-kept secrets.

Still got questions? I've got answers.

Yes. Some trailheads will require a high-clearance 4WD vehicle (don’t worry, they are labeled on the itinerary). But each itinerary also has several accessible trailheads to choose from.

Hiking and camping in the mountains requires special gear to stay safe and comfortable. Don’t have the gear? Don’t worry, you get gear recommendations and local rental recommendations to snag the gear you need to get out there.

That depends on your plans. Each itinerary stop features different highlights and feel. Read the descriptions to choose the one that best fits your style and travel plans. Or buy all 6 for a summer full of adventure.

Of course. The brilliant part about choosing your own adventure, is that you can explore each suggestion on the list! 

Add these to your Colorado road trip, go for a long weekend, or explore for the whole week.

When you’re out hiking, sometimes you want to slow down or tackle a tough challenge. Plans may change and I want you to have flexibility in each itinerary. That’s why you’ll have 9 choices for hikes and 6 choices for additional activities, so you can go with the flow and choose what’s right for you.
