While it’s important to celebrate love year-round, Valentine’s Day gives us the excuse to do something special for the most important people in our lives. Fortunately, our awesome state boasts a plethora of engaging and exhilarating date ideas to wow the one you love. Here are some of our favorite Valentine’s Day date ideas for this year’s day of love.
Take in Colorado’s picturesque terrain from a birds’ eye view as you soar in the shadow of its snow capped peaks and glide over uninhabited valleys. Paragliding is often cited as a gentler form of skydiving in which tandem groups, led by a certified paragliding pilot, gracefully glide off the hill and gently soar with the wind. There are numerous paragliding outfits throughout our state, each run by experienced and knowledgeable instructors, ready to help you execute the greatest Valentine’s Day date ever. Book yours today!
Colorado Vertical, located just outside of Colorado Springs in Canon City, has long been taking guests up in its “Rolls Royce” of helicopters. This esteemed aerial tour company offers numerous adventures, including scenic tours of the Royal Gorge Bridge, Pikes Peak, and Bighorn Sheep Canyon. Trips range from quick 5-minute jaunts to 50 minute, 100 mile flights. Take in our state’s gorgeous, rugged landscape from the cockpit of a helicopter.
This elegant getaway offers peace, solitude, and relaxation in the form of mineral hot springs. Situated between Telluride and Cortes, this remote outpost is anything but rustic. Each handcrafted cabin provides a boutique mountain experience and is outfitted with plush beds, luxurious soaking tubs, crackling fireplaces, and ornate, craftsmen touches. Spend the day soaking in Dunton’s hot springs or take a snowy hike in the wilderness. Whatever adventure you choose, this romantic getaway will be hard to top next year.
Elevate the typical dinner date night experience by reserving a table at any one of Colorado’s up-scale restaurants with views. Take in the snowy mountains, frozen lakes, and beautiful pink sunsets over a silky glass of red wine and sumptuous, five-star dishes. Boulder’s Flagstaff House is a convenient and elegant location for Valentine’s date nights. If you wish to venture further, Plato’s Restaurant in Aspen and Altezza at The Peaks in Telluride provide picturesque landscape views and exceptional cuisine.
Bundle up and prepare for the ride of a lifetime. The Front Range boasts a plethora of hot air balloon pilots with many years of experience under their belts. Flying in a hot air balloon is quiet, peaceful, and safe...and guests will experience an entirely new side of Boulder with its gorgeous Flatirons. Once the flight reaches peak altitude, pop champagne and toast to another year of love with your significant other.
Each year, we get the opportunity to celebrate love and show gratitude toward our significant other through a romantic gesture.
