Colorado Honeymoon Tips

• • Take it easy the first day to help adjust to the altitude. The altitude in Colorado is higher than in most other parts of the country. The thinner air can affect your stamina and breathing so give your body time to adjust.
  • Book your cabin early! Colorado is a popular tourist destination, and our cabins are in high demand, so it’s important to book yours early to guarantee you get the cabin and days you want, especially if you’re traveling during peak season.
  • Pack layers to adjust to the changing weather. The weather in Colorado can change quickly, so it’s important to pack for all types of weather. This means packing a jacket, hat, or hoodie, even if you are visiting during the summer.
  • Bring plenty of moisturizer for the dry climate. The average humidity in Colorado is much lower than the national average. Prepare for this change in humidity by bringing moisturizer to keep your skin and lips from drying out, itching, and even cracking.
  • Prepare for the sun. The sun in Colorado is very strong. No matter which season, prepare for the sun with sunscreen, sunglasses, and lip balm. Sunburn still happens, even if it’s cooler than you are used to.
  • Relax and enjoy yourselves. Most importantly, relax and enjoy yourselves. Romantic vacations are about reconnecting and spending time alone with the one you love, so take some time to sit back and enjoy each other’s company.

Things to do on your Romantic Getaway or Honeymoon

Explore the beauty of Nature

Pikes Peak

This Colorado icon offers stunning views of the surrounding area and Rocky Mountains. This mountain is the highest summit of the Southern Front Range of the Rockies, and the second-most visited mountain in the world. Named after explorer and mapmaker Zebulon Pike (also the namesake of our own Zeb’s Cabin), who first saw the peak in 1806. He wrote in his journal that the mountain was “the most magnificent sight I ever beheld”.

Pikes Peak was the focus of the 1858 gold rush to Colorado leading to thousands of people flocking to the area. Pikes Peak is one of the most iconic sites of the Colorado Springs area, and has been featured in many films and television shows. Pack a lunch and enjoy a full day exploring this gorgeous landscape.

Millions of people visit the mountain each year. The mountain can be explored by car, hiking, or taking the historic Cog Railway. The cog railway is the most popular way to reach the summit, offering stunning views of the surrounding area.
