So, You Wanna Ditch Denver for a Spell and Head to Erie, Colorado? How Far Exactly is "Spell" Anyway?
Let's face it, Denver's got its charm, but sometimes you crave a breath of fresh air that isn't courtesy of a trendy craft brewery (though, those do have their place). Enter Erie, Colorado, a scenic town nestled against the Rocky Mountains. But before you pack your hiking boots and kombucha, you might be wondering: just how far is Erie from Denver?
Turns out, not far at all! We're talking closer than your in-laws are during the holidays (unless you really like your in-laws). In fact, Erie is practically Denver's next-door neighbor. We're talking a hop, skip, and a jump, or, depending on which route you take, a cruisey 22 to 28 mile drive.
That translates to a breezy 30-minute car ride, which is basically the perfect amount of time to blast your favorite tunes and dream about all the outdoor adventures that await you in Erie. Think mountain biking, exploring quirky shops, or just chilling with a picnic and a view that'll knock your socks off (metaphorically, because nobody wants to be sockless in the mountains).
But Wait! There's More! (Are You Shocked?)
Here's the thing: while distance is important, consider this too: Erie offers a slower pace than Denver's hustle and bustle. Think cozy cafes instead of crowded bars, and friendly locals instead of, well, whoever cut you off in traffic that morning.
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
So, whether you're a Denverite seeking a weekend escape or just curious about charming Colorado towns, Erie is definitely worth the short trip. Just pack your sense of adventure (and maybe a sweater for those mountain breezes) and get ready to discover a place that's, well, practically Denver's neighbor, but with a whole different vibe.
