This will be a quick guide to a few things there we love to do. There is so much more to do here in Colorado, so stay subbed and we will be having more new looks into Colorado’s vacation spots and weed.
Over the years, the cannabis scene has only grown stronger, weaving itself into the colorful tapestry of what makes Colorado so special. Whether you’re here to enjoy the green or just the great outdoors, Colorado offers endless adventures for every kind of traveler.
A Few Cannabis-Friendly Activities in Colorado
1. Dive into Denver’s Bud Scene
Denver stands tall as the epicenter of Colorado’s cannabis culture. With an ever-expanding list of dispensaries, lounges, and cannabis experiences, there’s something for everyone. Start by visiting Native Roots or The Green Solution for top-shelf flower and edibles.
Then, kick back at one of the city’s cannabis lounges, where you can legally enjoy your purchase in a relaxed setting. Tetra is a great place to start. Hop in, puff a bit and walk around town for some high elevation shopping. Remember, Denver has more rec dispensaries then it does Starbucks, so it is easy to find some supplies.
Looking for something more interactive? Book a 420-friendly tour that takes you behind the scenes of local grows, glassblowing studios, and even cooking classes where you can learn to whip up your own cannabis-infused treats.
Most 420 tours now are very regulated, so be aware there are a lot more rules, no mpre smoking on the bus in some areas. We now, see some travelers opt to rent their own limos, (we do too $375 for a few hours)… as you can vape all you want in your own limo. For info…Call the original Denver limo and ask.
2. Fort Collins: Brews, Buds, and Beyond
No trip to Colorado is complete without a stop in Fort Collins, a town known for its vibrant craft beer scene and laid-back vibes. With some of the cleanest mountain water around, it’s no surprise that Fort Collins boasts more breweries per capita than nearly any city. New Belgium Brewery and Odell Brewing Co. are must-visit spots, offering free tours complete with tastings.
While you’re in town, check out local dispensaries like Choice Organics, Fort Collins’ first recreational marijuana store. After stocking up, head over to Horsetooth Reservoir for a scenic hike or a chill afternoon by the water.
3. Mountain High: Cannabis and Colorado’s Slopes
The Rockies aren’t just for skiing—they’re perfect for pairing powder with pot. Resorts like Breckenridge and Aspen offer iconic slopes, while areas like Loveland and Winter Park provide more affordable (and often less crowded) options.
If you’re after a unique experience, head to Arapahoe Basin during late spring, where the mountain often stays open until early summer. Locals tailgate at the base, soaking up the sun and the cannabis-friendly vibes while others hit the slopes.
New to the snow scene? Consider tubing or sledding at one of Colorado’s many snow parks—it’s the perfect combo of fun and relaxation, with no skiing skills required.
For some 420-friendly lodging, check out this guide to cannabis-friendly Airbnbs so you can unwind after a day on the slopes.
4. Hidden Gems: Off-the-Beaten-Path Adventures
Looking for something more low-key? Colorado has plenty of hidden cannabis-friendly spots. Take a scenic drive up the Poudre Canyon, enjoy a meal and live music at Mishawaka Amphitheater, or float down the Cache la Poudre River with a local rafting company. These adventures blend nature and cannabis perfectly, creating memorable experiences without the crowds.
For bookworms, The Tattered Cover in Denver remains one of the largest independent bookstores in the country. Stop in for a relaxed afternoon or catch a book signing event.
5. Winter Wonders and Festive Fun
Colorado transforms into a winter wonderland as snow blankets the mountains and holiday lights glow across towns. Don’t miss a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snow, a magical experience often overlooked by tourists. For the perfect après-ski vibe, cozy up in a mountain cabin with a warm drink and your favorite cannabis product.
Looking for a truly unique event? Plan your trip around 420-friendly festivals that happen throughout the year. From April 20th celebrations in Denver to smaller cannabis events across the state, there’s always something going on.
