About Discover Colorado

Mountains, Memories & Miles of Road

I'm Scott — a healthcare IT professional from San Diego who has spent years exploring Colorado's peaks, ski towns, and hidden gems. This site is everything I've learned, documented for anyone planning their own Colorado adventure.

Scott · Traveler · Writer · Based in San Diego

Colorado grabbed me on my first trip — driving I-70 west from Denver, watching the Front Range rise up, and realizing that this state has everything from world-class skiing to craft beer scenes that rival any city in America. Since then I've been back more times than I can count, each trip going deeper: Telluride's box canyon, the sand dunes at Great Sand Dunes, the hot springs in Ouray, the empty highways of the Western Slope.

I'm not a travel blogger. I work in healthcare IT. But Colorado keeps pulling me back, and I decided to put everything I've learned into something useful — a site with real logistics, honest prices, and the kind of detail you only get from someone who has actually driven those mountain passes and waited in those lift lines. Discover Colorado is the resource I wished existed when I was planning my first trip west.

What You Won't Find Here

I built this site because I got tired of Colorado travel content that's secretly a press trip recap or a sponsored hotel review. Discover Colorado exists because I wanted the resource I wished I had.
