Colorado’s Creative Corridor

In this blog I have highlighted local yoga, food, events and more — but the arts can be an important factor in choosing a city or a neighborhood as well!
I love this video Colorado Field Guide video about the Colorado Creative Corridor. The video tour highlights five iconic western Colorado cities: Carbondale, Paonia, Crested Butte, Ridgway and Salida, quickly showcasing the arts and creativity in each one.
The Colorado Tourism Office has even designed a special map to help you visit all five of these rural destinations as part of a single culture-packed trip. Their trail is 331 miles long and offers “a collective experience of unique event programming and activities alongside mountain-town eclecticism, majestic vistas and outdoor recreation, and authentic Colorado mountain culture.” You can download their map and brochure for free right here. Road trip, anyone?

Pedaling the Poudre

You would never buy a home without driving around the neighborhood first, right? Perhaps you should explore the area by bicycle as well!

Not sure where to begin? In Northern Colorado there is no shortage of fun clubs and group rides. However, I recommend looking into Pedaling the Poudre tours through the Poudre Heritage Alliance. These tours are less concerned with cardio and more focused on education and exploration along various stretches of the Cache le Poudre River. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable, their tours stick to paved trails, and the fees for the tour support the work that the PHA is doing to share the history and culture of the river corridor. PHA regularly offers tours in Larimer County (Fort Collins) and Weld County (Windsor, Greeley).

Prefer to move at your own pace? Strike out on your own with PHA’s self-guided tours instead. Stretch your legs, get some sun, and fall in love with a beautiful, scenic area!
