[…] Denver, Colorado – visiting my sister and brother-in-law plus celebrating my fiancé’s birthday and sister’s birthday (they are literally three days apart in age) […]
Today is the day! My fiancé Joe, Emma and I are taking off on a road trip tonight and traveling to Denver Colorado. First of all, let me just say how excited I am – I have never been to Colorado and I feel like I’m missing out based on raving reviews I’ve heard from several friends and family members!
There’s nothing more exciting to me than discovering and exploring a new place. I don’t have to be doing anything particularly that exciting to be happy – just exploring a new place, whether a local brewery or talking to people who live there at hip dive bar – is enough to make me literally the happiest girl in the world. And, as much as I love flying, there is something to be said for a road trip across the United States. It’s the American dream, am I right? If you don’t think it is, well… it must be for some people! I remember when I studied abroad that’s all my roommates talked about – flying over to New York or Los Angeles, renting a car and traveling to multiple top U.S. destinations. My friend Mel just wrote an AMAZING packing list for road trips, as her and her husband take them often, but I think she sums it up best:
Anyway, I definitely seem to have the road trip thing down after two trips to the Carolinas! You can see my summer road trip essentials from my last trip in this post. And for this trip, I’m packing for some hiking days, going out for Joe’s birthday and my sister’s birthday, 4th of July and pool time! See what I’m planning to bring below:
Athletic/Hiking Wear
Jacket | Sports Bra | Leggings | Nike Shoes
Here are some additional hints for what to wear while hiking!
Concert Wear
Maxi Dress | Vest | Sandals | Necklace
Going Out Style
Tank Top | Mesh Tulle Skirt | Wedges
Pool Time
Floppy Hat | Sunglasses | Swim Top | Swim Bottom | Sandals
We’ll be getting in around noon tomorrow – so make sure to follow along on my Colorado adventures by following me on Instagram and Snapchat (user name: rachietramp). Talk to you soon!

There is so much to do! My primary recommendation is to visit the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. The dioramas are stunning. Enjoy!
I haven't been to Denver in years (I went as a little girl with my parents) but I'm positive you are going to have a blast!! I keep hearing so many great things about Dever — the hiking, the food.. just all around great adventures! Have fun! 🙂
