to the most amazing Colorado getaway in Leadville.

tried some delicious food and took in the breathtaking view after checking in,

you can either hike or take a four wheeler straight to your yurt with stunning views.

But my favorite was the one right outside our yurt.

This is the definition of glamping. The room was huge. It sleeps six people.

It has a fireplace, a skylight we instantly felt at home.

saw some beautiful wildflowers and we're ready for our next adventure for dinner.

Look how excited we were. We couldn't wait.

We were starving this next year wasn't like ours though.

It was a full dining room that served us an amazingly fresh meal that used tons

of local produce and get the steak because there's a little bit of fire involved.

My grandma's favorite though was definitely the chocolate cake.

we took a couple pictures and then headed inside so

my grandma could start heating up our cozy little fire.

We spent the whole night laughing and playing games and before we knew it,

we woke up to another stunning view and a warm cup

of coffee before signing the guest book with our memories.

We said, see you later to this amazing view because we know we'll be back real soon.
