The ColoRADo Adventure Hostel
If you’re anything like me, around this time of year you start to go a little bit stir crazy. No matter where you live — even if you’re surrounded by gorgeous, snow-capped mountains every day, like I am! — every now and then you need to hop in a car or board a plane and be someplace else for a little while.
(No? Just me?)
Here’s a local-ish getaway that I am putting on my “maybe some day” list: the ColoRADo Adventure Hostel, or the Rad Hostel for short. The Rad Hostel is close to my family’s stomping grounds in the Springs, and — well here, I’ll let them tell you:
In the shadow of Pikes Peak, and just a few miles from Garden of the Gods, this RAD new hostel is a blend of Colorado’s art, mountain culture and fresh Colorado Springs vibe.
Though I’m married with children now, there is definitely a part of me that wants to join the Rad Hostel crew for their drum circle on Thursday or their pancakes and sunset hikes on the weekend. It also sounds perfect for a getaway trip with friends.
Keep an eye on Rad Hostel on Facebook, where they often give away ski packages or share plans for their silent discos.
Sign me up: Colo-Road Trips
Did you know that Colorado.com publishes “Colo-Road Trips“? These ready-made itineraries provide great information about how to string together some of Colorado’s best food, culture, history, nature and more into a memorable road trip packed with adventure and exploration.
For example, take a look at their “Days of Fun in the Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area.” Per the website, “From Fort Collins to Greeley and the villages of Laporte and Windsor, this northern Colorado region is packed with expansive views, welcoming locally sourced restaurants, frontier history and much more.” I couldn’t have said it better myself — and even though Northern Colorado is my stomping grounds, I still found plenty of new-to-me spots for my to-do list. It might be time for a staycation!
