COME TO LIFE Date Nights FOR EVERY TYPE OF TRAVELER For Romantics Sometimes, you gotta branch off from your vacation group for a little one-on-one time with your partner. Whether you prefer a romantic rendezvous, an adventurous outing or a cultural experience, Colorado’s cities have something for every couple. Get ready to pick from a variety of excursions and discover the diverse possibilities that await you here. For those seeking an intimate and affectionate atmosphere, these activities will ignite a spark and create cherished moments of connection with your significant other. In Denver, immerse yourselves in a world of romance by embarking on a scenic horse-drawn-carriage ride through downtown or take a sunset cruise on the beautiful Cherry Creek Reservoir aboard the Pelican Princess in Aurora. Boulder provides an ideal backdrop for enchanting activities. Pack a basket full of artisanal goodies from specialty markets like Dedalus , Al’s Artisanal Meats and Cheeses , or Organic Bliss and venture to Chautauqua Park for a picnic or a leisurely hike. Not the picnicking type? Try the Victorian-style Chautauqua Dining Hall — a tradition since 1898 with striking views of the Flatirons. In Colorado Springs, take your love sky high by experiencing a hot-air balloon ride with Rainbow Ryders or Adventures Out West . Drifting through the clouds while taking in panoramic views of Pikes Peak and the surrounding valleys is a sure way to create unforgettable shared memories. Old-fashioned swan paddleboats are a perfect way to relax and enjoy the tranquility and natural beauty of Blue Heron Lake in Fort Collins. And what could be more lovely than enjoying the literal fruits of your labor by picking your own fruit, flowers, veggies and berries at The Bee Hugger Farm or YA YA Farm & Orchard in Longmont? Pueblo’s not short on opportunities for dreamy excursions, either. Begin your adventure with a peacefully flowing gondola ride along the Pueblo Riverwalk — the Venice of the West!
