What To Bring

Clothing Layers
Colorado summers are some of the most beautiful in the country, but weather can change quickly and drastically. As the saying goes, “If you don’t like the weather in Colorado, just wait five minutes.”  Afternoons are typically hot in the summer, but the temperature drops drastically at night. In the winter, sunny days can quickly give way to snow or hail storms.

Sunscreen
When most people think of Colorado, they think snowy mountains, not sunscreen. But, the high altitude makes UV rays more intense. With every 1,000 feet you go above Sea Level, ultraviolet exposure gets more intense by 4 to 10 percent.

Comfortable Shoes
Colorado has some of the nation’s most beautiful outdoor scenes, something you’ll definitely want to experience while in town. Whether it’s local, state or federal parks, the foothills or the mountain peaks, you will definitely want to spend time in nature. Avoid ruining your high with sore feet or a blister by coming prepared with comfortable shoes.

Not Your Pipes, Bongs, Grinders
Leave your paraphernalia at home! You don’t want to travel to Colorado or out of Colorado with used paraphernalia because it could get you in trouble in non-legal states. You can up a cheap pipe when you arrive as a throwaway. Then pick up some of the best cannabis smoking devices to bring home with you and keep them clean until you get there.  The Spot 420 will have all the necessities when you stop in.

Best Places To Eat

We recommend these places to eat during your pot vacation to Colorado.

Bella Luna Pizzeria
Trinidad, Colorado

There are few combinations better than weed and pizza! Bella Luna’s hand-tossed crust is wood fired in an oven right in the middle of the restaurant. Grab a couple pizzas with every topping option you can imagine and a couple of salads for a hefty bite before exploring Trinidad Lake State Park.

La Forchetta da Massi
Pueblo, Colorado

Perfect for a nice dinner out, this Italian gem in Pueblo makes some of the best pasta in Southern Colorado. The restaurant is cozy but modern, with a full bar and even fuller menu. Get your fill of all the Italian classics and finish your meal with homemade limoncello. This place packs up fast, so be sure to make a reservation!

Rocco’s Riverside Deli
Pueblo, Colorado

Don’t let the exterior fool you, this place is a go-to spot to satiate your munchies. Get delicious sandwiches, with homemade breads, wraps, salads and more. There is even a drive through if you need to grab food to go before an epic hike in Southern Colorado or a few sandwiches for a day at Lake Pueblo.

The Hanging Tree
Pueblo, Colorado

For all the vegetarians out there, this spot is for you! They have plenty of vegetarian dishes, including a Portobello Philly that looks out of this world, and tons of options for meat-lovers as well. They have a huge non-alcoholic beverage selection, with dozens of teas, smoothies and Italian cream sodas that will give your taste buds a ride without affecting your high like alcohol can.

Tlaquepaque
Colorado Springs, Colorado

This unassuming restaurant cooks up some of the most authentic Mexican food in southern Colorado. Try some of their street tacos or enchiladas, both made with fresh, handmade tortillas. Fast and casual, this is a great spot for a quick lunch. But come hungry, their portions are huge.

The Royal Gorge Bridge

Things To Do In Pueblo, Colorado


Great Sand Dunes National Park

Between Pueblo and Trinidad is the Great Sand Dunes, National Park. These Sand Dunes are the tallest in North America and won’t disappoint. The park is open 24 hours a day, with plenty of activities. Sled down the huge dunes, or go for a hike and splash around the Medano Creek.

Pueblo River Walk & Union Avenue Historic District
One of the main attractions in Pueblo is the town’s River Walk. Walk (or ride in a gondola boat) along the Arkansas River in downtown Pueblo, stopping at cool, local shops and restaurants along the way. There are events along the River Walk all year long, from live music to fireworks, so be sure to check out their event calendar.

Lake Pueblo State Park
This is a fishing hot spot in Southern Colorado, but it’s also home to tons of fun outdoor activities. Pack a few edibles or a vape pen and spend a long day by the beautiful lake hiking, watching the wildlife, kayaking, horseback riding and more.

Pueblo Zoo
This zoo is home to more than 420 animals (no pun intended) including Red Pandas and a three-legged otter named Thelma! Spend a day with exotic wildlife and getting to understand the Pueblo Zoo’s conservation efforts.

The Royal Gorge Bridge
Known as the “Grand Canyon of Colorado”, this magnificent feat of nature is just an hour drive from Pueblo and can easily take up an entire day of exploring. Walk along the epic Royal Gorge Bridge, take an aerial gondola ride, or for the brave at heart, ride the Cloudscraper Zip Line or Royal Rush Skycoaster, all while enjoying incredible 360-degree views. During the warm months, outdoor concerts and events are held at the breathtaking Plaza Theater, so be sure to check out their activities calendar.

We hope to see you soon on your pot vacation to Colorado!
