Recreation

Life just doesn't seem like very much fun anymore. But it still can be. You don't need a lot of money to enjoy your family. There are plenty of things to do in Colorado on a budget. I have a few suggestions that may help. The first one is our beautiful Rocky Mountains. Not going to the mountains would be like living on the coast and never going to the beach. For only $35.00 until April you can get an annual park pass to Rocky Mountain National Park. After that it is going up to $40.00 according to the website. The cost for a seven day pass is $20.00 so for just double that you can get one for the entire year. Get yours before April and you will save five bucks. I have included a few of my own shots I took last summer. My sister came to visit and paid half the fee to purchase an annual pass. She went back to Michigan and I still have the park pass. It just doesn't seem fair somehow. But I'm not complaining! I will use that pass to take any visitors we get this year and also for our own enjoyment.

Don't like to pitch a tent? Then don't, rent a cabin. If you get one big enough you can take another family and split the cost. There are quite a few available yet but don't wait to make your reservations as they fill up fast. I will write more articles about things to do on a budget later.
