The 5 Best Literary, Art & Music Tours in Colorado, United States
Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

Loved this tour. So many talented artists. Kaitlyn did a spectacular job. I learned volumes and was introduced to Lizzie Zimmer, Aholsniffsglue, jaysaybay, and detour303 just to name a few. Kaitlyn taught us to recognize different artists styles and soon enough I was able to spot them for myself. I thoroughly enjoyed learning how graffiti artists use their pieces to express concerns over the rapidly changing neighborhoods. We saw examples of how artists have used their talent to express concerns about current political climates. We were given historical examples of Banksy or Shepard Fairey. We discussed different techniques and styles. Stencils, brush, spray can. She discussed how artists collaborate together sometimes. What a tag is and the different meanings of homage or disrespect it can express. We explored the concept of graffiti ownership. In just a few short hours Kaitlyn turned me into a lover and champion of graffiti and mural artists everywhere. I intend to learn as much as I can about the medium. Thank You Denver Graffiti Tour! Thank you Kaitlyn❤️WELL DONE!

This was an amazing experience! Kristina was very knowledgeable and personable. She made me feel able to ask any questions and was able to mix personal interests into the history of Colorado, which was much appreciated. We covered a nice area without feeling hurried, and I definitely took some great pictures.

My wife and I came to Boulder to visit our son who had lined up this bike trip for us. It was the highlight of our trip because the bicycles are electric which require very little pedaling or no peddling at all if you want. This was fantastic because my wife has bad knees, and it was such a joy to do this wonderful tour. Our tour guide new exactly where to go and took the time to explain any questions that we had. Plus, he even provided wonderful snacks for us along the way. I would recommend this activity for anyone to learn a little bit more about Boulder plus some of the amazing murals that are stunning and hard to find. My son has lived in Boulder for several years and found areas and things he didn’t know about. If you wonder if it is worth it – I, say YES, all day long. In fact, we may purchase the same bikes that we rode!
