The Top 11 Leaf-Peeping Spots in Colorado & How to Get to Them

This weekend, I took an adventure to a different set of Colorado peaks, this time featuring a tiny town called Como full of abandoned railroad buildings which leads to the spellbinding Boreas Pass. Boreas Pass Road ascends from Como, winds along the Continental Divide at over 11,400 feet, and descends into downtown Breckenridge. It’s one of Colorado’s top #leafpeeping destinations, an hour drive, and has some of the most gorgeous golden and red aspens you’ll find in the state. It’s been my #1 leaf-peeping destination so far!

#MondayMood: Using Visualization to Manifest Your Goals

I’m a big believer in visualization: Before I ever started freelancing as a content creator and traveling, I pictured myself doing it. I know it sounds weird. But I just started imagining myself working from a laptop and seeing the world. And then one day I was. There was a lot of work to get there, sure. But I kept visualizing it, all the time. Sometimes now I even get this weird deja-vu kinda feeling where it’s less of a, “Did I do this before?” and more of a, “Didn’t I picture myself here once and now it’s kind of happening?”
