Craft Cocktails in a Hiking pack? Yes, Please! Meet Vrai: Organic Canned Vodka Cocktails #Sponsored
When it comes to hiking in Colorado, there’s nothing better than the feeling of accomplishment when you make it to the mountain’s summit, crack open a cold one, and get to sit down, pet your pups, and look out over this state’s naturally beautiful landscape.

When people ask where I’m from I still say that I’m an East Coast girl, but with how much I love Colorado I’m thinking that needs to change (and maybe update my about me!). As this is my first full spring season here in Denver I’ve come up with a list of things that I would love to see, accomplish, or experience, and there’s no better time to start than on the Spring Equinox! 1.
