No Spend January - 31 Days of Free & Cheap Activities Around Colorado

Celebrate No-Spend January with me!
I’m helping you get out and explore Colorado without breaking the bank. Throughout January, I’ll be sharing daily ideas for fun activities, museums, tours, and outdoor adventures that are free or cost under $10.

This page will be updated each day as new spots are posted. If you know a fun place I should check out, I’d love to hear from you—comment on one of the videos, send me a DM, or email me your recommendation. I always enjoy exploring places you suggest!

If you enjoy my content and free bucketlists, here's an easy way to support, fuel my adventures and keep the new recommendations coming! Thank you!
