West Side Tattoo

Tattoo shop

👍👍 Christian was my tattoo artist and she absolutely killed it. Her attention to detail and overall line work skill blew me away. I will be showing this off forever! This process requires so much trust and Christian took my tattoo seriously and executed it exactly how I wanted. I am so happy with this...

Heart of Jerusalem

Middle Eastern restaurant

🫤 The atmosphere was bland. The hostess was sitting on her phone behind a screen before I came in, and she had to practically jump to the register. The food was so disappointing though. Dry falafel, bland rice, a thrown together side salad, the tobouleh was wayy too salty, and the pita was weirdly nut...

Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center

Visitor center

👍 Be aware state parks want your money. I suggest downloading the TravelStorys App and take the guided tour for free. Don’t pay for a tour. This park is very small and only takes about 30 minutes to drive the scenic road. Also the entrance is free. It is however a must stop if your in the Denver area....

Salida River Adventures

Raft trip outfitter

👍👍 Salida River Adventures is the best! We were staying in Pagosa Springs and drove up to Salida to get some rafting in due to low water conditions in our area. Sean was awesome! Great stories and very knowledgeable on the river. Even got to see some Bighorn Sheep down near the river. Truly a great exp...

Devil's Playground

Hiking area

👍👍 What a great experience to drive up Pikes Peak. Unfortunately the last part of the road was closed due to ice on the road, bad luck. However, it was great to get as far as I got. The view was fantastic. It was also rather cold (-3 deg C) and windy, however that was not a big surprise on almost 4000...

Royal Gorge Zipline Tours

Tourist attraction

👍👍 We had an amazing extreme tour with the best guides in the valley, Zack and Tarzan. Felt 100% safe the entire time, Zack was super great, very engaging and pleasant, an all around epic dude that I am honored to have been able to zip with a few times. He’s a great leader a look up to in the zip guide...
