We have made it to Denver, Colorado! Colorado was a new-to-us state, so when we were notified of non-stop $138 round-trip tickets from Seattle to Denver, we couldn’t resist! And we are so glad that we took this trip.
We got to experience a tiny tasting of Denver’s incredible beer scene, take a scenic tour through the Rocky Mountains, and see some of the Colorado wildlife. #denver #denvercolorado #denverco

Wasn’t sure if the rage room was something I’d be too interested in…but then…. At 20:29 I FELT THIS 😆🤣👊🏼 loved the vid guys!! Sooo many unique places I haven’t even heard of 😍🍻🍦
This convinced us that rage rooms are the best type of therapy 🤣
You guys are really showing what travel is like: picking a hotel, searching for fun activities and then planning your trip around those. Loving these vids!
Thanks! Glad you like the vids. How much goes into the logistics often get overlooked
I’m a Denver native and definitely didn’t know we had a rage room, a hostel, or a Little Man location with a plane/baked Alaska 😂. The Beer Spa is great and we always recommend the Arsenal! Thanks for showing off some unique things about our city and doing more than just the Denver Biscuit Company (I swear that’s all CZcamsrs highlight in their Denver videos).
Thanks for watching! We noticed that too and while we usually do touristy things as well, we almost try and go out of our way to find something unique and different in a place. Also, if you have the time try that rage room. 🤣
You guys are really fun to watch!! I hope you stay on recording with Faredrop as part of the team!! You have a fun chemistry. Tell us more of your history. How did you meet? ❤️❤️
Thanks. We hope so. Maybe we'll share how we met in an upcoming video
These two are literally the cutest. Thanks for exploring my home state!
Aw. Thank you, and thanks for being so welcoming
Big fan of Kara and Nate since 2020 and now also loving the FareDrop videos with Sara and Tony! ❤
🥳🤗
Buick's new tag line, "Ain't she a beaut? No, she's a Buick."
Lmao it's a good one
I’m enjoying this new take for fare drop! Very refreshing and y’all bring such positivity. You guys seem so joyful and grateful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, and thanks for the kind words
Thank you for visiting my city!! I am so glad you had fun!
We loved it!
I love watching your videos!! You are both so much fun!
Thank you so much!! 🙌
You guys are truly showing different things and places v touristy WELL DONE 👏 👍👊😍
Thanks! Yeah, we try to have a good mix. We're stilltouristst after all, so we're not opposed to doing touristy things. But we will go out of our way to try and find something unique to that place.
What a great adventure y’all had! Love the mix of nature adventure with indoor activities. Never been to a spa, but a beer spa sounds right up my alley 😂
When we were looking into it I was like a tumbler of beer in a hot tub? Yes, please!
Loved the video! It was so great to see y’all enjoying CO!
Glad you enjoyed it! We didn't know what to expect honestly, but it was so much fun
I’m from Colorado! Thanks for this video! ❤
Thanks for watching! This has made us want to see more of Colorado for sure!
We are so happy that you were able to spend some time in Denver! We may be biased, but we sure love Colorado. Also, it was fantastic to finally turn our instagram friendship into real life friends! We can't wait to see where you are off to next.
Same. Next time we meet we should go on some crazy adventure
I LOVE your energy!! These videos are entertaining and informative…. I can’t wait to see where you go next!
We have some really great places booked!!
I just found your channel and binge watched all 3 videos! I am loving the content so far
Glad you like them!
Thanks for this video! Denver is on my bucket list!
Any time!
What a fun trip! Thank you for showing that travel does not have to be so complicated and expensive. I'm looking forward to the video you make after the faredrop deal to Vancouver! You know you want to do it.
funny story we might actually be in Vancouver soon. Don't know if we have time to film there just yet, but we just might be taking a flight deal out of that airport.
You two are such a fun vibe!
Thanks 🥳
❤ these 2 are awesome at these adventures
🙌
Always watch the videos. My favorite travel channel.
Wow, thanks!
Aloha guys, glad you had fun here in Colorado! Cool video =)
Thanks alot!
Love these two!!!!
🙌
Fun video! Love you guys!!
Aw, thanks!!!
Your videos are always so fun 😊
Yay, thank you!
Rafting is the most fun thing I’ve ever done. I can’t imagine how you did it with a camera. Awesome job guys!
haha it was not easy. That's why that segment wasn't longer. It took a lot to scrub through and pick good shots.
i laughed so much ! you two are great !
🤣 Thanks!
We did the Royal Gorge train and did the dome car too. It was a super chill ride. Cause most things in Colorado aren't chill. We white water rafted down the river by the train a few days before we rode it.
Seeing all the people rafting is what made us want to try it ourselves.
@@faredrop We love Colorado winter is fun too cause we like to ski.
Yeah we can't ski, but we would definitely come back to learn.
16:39 gives new meaning to the term “break room”! 😂😂😂 Imagine if the break-room at an office was set up like this! Bad day at the office? Visit the break room! Frustrating client meeting filled with unrealistic expectations and deadlines? Visit the break room! Long commute in rush hour traffic? Start your day in the break room. 😂😂
Great idea and a good way for your coworkers to know not to bother you. Might have to sound proof it though 🤣
I live in Conifer Colorado, so cool to see how you guys highlighted Denver!!
Stay you✌🏼
Trying our best! Thanks for the support
❤ you guys! Keep up the great work. Love from Nova Scotia Canada
❤️ thanks!
Another great video guys! It seems every time you go somewhere that we haven't we end up putting it on our list of to-visit places 🧐😂
lol. We gotta team up for one of these adventures
Yes! Hostel was terrifying! I’m with Tony for now. But, I like the locking door and lack of bunk mates. Way safer. Love ya’ll!!!
Right! I look at it now and laugh at how cheesy the gore is, but that film set me back big time! I still haven't overcome that part about hostels. The ones we've stayed in have all been private rooms. No bunkmates for me. I snore anyway. lol
for sure! 😅
Love the video! Wonder where you are going next??
Good question! 🧐👀
I’ve travel to Denver to head into the mountains skiing. Now, I want to try some of these places!
If ever we learn how to properly ski we'll come back for some skiing
Stay outta LODO try The Sand Dunes in Southern Colorado
Love this new channel, i usdd to binge watch Kara and Nate's old videos now this is the new spot! Jeep up the good work. Btw definitely visit us in Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤❤
Oh it's on our watch list for flight deals!
You guys are so cool. I love your energy. Do t listen to haters. Their just jealous that they’re not out doing the same thing. Traveling is fun, I love to travel, learn, different languages, and cultures and history. You guys are having a ball. And you’re taking us right along with you. That’s cool! I like Kara & Nate, but you guys have a lot more energy than they do, and it’s fun. Safe travels.
If you do go back to Canon City, to check out the Royal Gorge Bridge (Try to go there when Nature's Educators is doing their presentation),I have to recommend two local restaurants,
The Owl Cigar Store which is a local favorite for burgers, shakes and fries.
El Reynaldo's (We still call it Alfonsos when it was called that) which is a gas station mexican restaurant, but that's the go-to spot for Breakfast Burritos. I think the owners opened another one downtown called Julian's.
Glad you enjoyed the small town I grew up in!
Thanks for the recs. We actually wanted to go to the bridge after the train, just didn't have the time
Great stuff! Looks like Kara & Nate travels in 2018, which is a good thing!
🙌🏽
Loved the video! Would love to see more food/exploring the town and a few less paid for activities
Noted!
I'm with Sara on the controlled adventure! Make me feel like I'm doing something wild and crazy, but really it's safe and controlled (except, you won't find me bungee jumping or stepping off the Strat no matter how safe anyone says it is... I don't want to tempt fate too much.)
Yeah, me either. No chance I'd ever do that!!
We had the SAME experience finding our car in Denver through Turo!
😅🤣 glad we weren't alone in that
Definitely baked at 11:40 😄
My eyes do look red holy hell! But no, definitely not lol
Mer-in-gay is the dance! What you had was mer-ang, sugar whipped with egg whites :)
Thanks for the correction
Tony same thing with the Hostel thing for me! Redrum!
lol
Found you through @KaraandNate and am loving your videos! By the way, Tony, you might want to check with Nate on how to pronounce "merengue" - LOL!
Thanks for the tip! lol
That ridge across from Red Rocks is Dakota Ridge with Dinosaur Footprints a gret hike
Yeah we actually walked over there briefly but out flight was that same day and we didn't want to get dirty and smelly beforehand
Stare Dealicis! Let the deal decide!
I honestly might use this next time we do a last minute trip. With your okay of course.
@@faredrop I would be honored! Please do use this.
@@faredropmodeled after the Latin based legal term “stare decisis” which means “let the decision stand.” And I’m a lawyer so naturally butchering Latin legal terms makes me laugh! It’s kind of saying “let the deal stand” as in “let the deal’s price be the basis”. And there I go over explaining. Sigh 😔. It’s a job hazard as a lawyer. 😂😂
I love watching your trips and also employ a process of saving money where I can, so later I can spend 💸on things that mean more to me later.
The Royal Gorge is in Cañon City.
Yup. And we mentioned that
Sara and Tony! LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! 🎉🎉❤❤
🥳
Well blurring out the license plate didn't work to good😂. When you first walked up to the car it was in full view.😂😂
Well oops. Must not have re-rendered that clip. We can't all be perfect. 🤣
Should do MANITOU INCLINE in Manitou Springs next to Colorado Springs Super Easy 1 mile hike
❤❤❤❤
😊 Thanks
@@faredrop great video. Omg that Ice cream 🥰
Right! There was no way to eat that and look presentable 😅
@@faredrop lol🤦🏻♀️😂😂
Hello from golden Colorado 😉 😂👋🏻
Hello!
"That rage back there? It's every negative comment we've ever gotten."
😂👀
Hey! Love your videos, their really fun to watch and I’m glad you got this job! I do have one ask: can you not put horror movie clips in your videos? I watched this with my 5 year old and didn’t realize that would come on the screen and then I had to apologize to her and make sure she was okay🥺 or at least a disclaimer, or a time stamp so I can skip those parts in the future please 🙏 ❤
Oh no! So sorry. We tried to blur it out so nothing was shown, but we'll be more careful next time and throw in a disclaimer too
@@faredrop I appreciate it!! And your right, it did have a bit of blur on it, which I am grateful for, Thank you 🙏 I really do love your videos 😊 (I voted for you guys) ♥️ I look forward to watching more 😁
Thank you for bringing it up.
This was a good video and very enjoyable to watch. But I feel like it should have been divided into 2 parts. It felt like you guys did so much, but we viewers only got a brief look into it. You could have expanded more, especially in the train ride and the rafting parts.
Solid point. Thanks for the feedback
Should have done Wrigleys field
they weren't home when we were there
Should have drove up Lookout Mt
it was closed. we wanted to
Wait, what days were you in Denver? I was just there and saw someone recording on the tram at the airport. Was that you???
it's possible. We were there the week of the 20th.
You two are so good at this. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you!
This was great, gave me some ideas for next time I visit Denver and Colorado Springs, and very happy that you two are representing Fare Drop.
Awesome! Thank you!
Stay out of LODO try Red Rock Origins Hotel with the bus to Red Rocks
Excellent video. Perhaps I need to go to Denver.
You should!
But don't go to Lodo...try Arvada or Golden
Should have saved money and down Golden rafting down the river much cheaper
I also thought hostels were like murderville. Not quite like the movie but I did also think you always had to share a room with randos and that was a big no-no for me.
Same. Just thought nothing but weird things happened in them. The movie was just added trauma. Turns out most offer private rooms and it doesn't cost much more than the bunk rooms. This one was more like a hotel than a hostel.
So, I really want to visit Colorado!!
You should!
But stay out of Lodo try Golden or Lakewood
Always get out of LODO cause it sucks way overpriced Yuppyville...and Dakota/Dinosaur Ridge is a great hike with the side trip to the Dinosaur Footprints
Thanks for the videos. You guys are really cute together, which is why I voted for you! Do you live in Washington like I do? Don't need the name of the city, Just wondering if you live in WA. I live in the southeastern part of WA.
Thanks! Sara is from Washington, and her family still lives there
I said the same thing about Royal Gorge lmao! It’s like Thunder Mountain IRL lol
exactly!
can Canadians use fare drop yet?
Yes! We send deals from the US and Canada
I can’t believe you got the Wynkoop pronunciation factoid in there lol that’s some NICHE Denver stuff. Most denverites dont even know that or get it straight!
had to after butchering the pronunciation the first time. Had to bring in the experts 😅
Go rafting on Arkansas River in Buena Vista. You guys really didn't Colorado properly.
👍
7:40 when you go to Italy, or England, it will feel like you’re at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg.
For sure! That's kind of embarrassing on our part 😅
Sign us up for a beer spa ANY day! 😁
right!!
RED ROCKS IS NOT IN DENVER AT ALL, welcome to border of Morrison/Golden
👍
There was a train less than 2 hours away. A few. One in Golden too. Could've taken one from Denver to "Glenwood Springs." *_These people don't know how to Colorado_*
👍 Thanks for watching!
I don't get the "Someone is going to yell at me for airport clothes" thing....
Some people think it's a bit unsanitary to hop into bed wearing the clothes you've worn all day, especially if you've been traveling. It's similar to how people feel about putting your bags / suitcase on the bed
@@faredrop thanks for the update, if anyone thinks the bedspread is clean.. 😎 Think again. 😎
Lol fact
Fun fact, Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge is located where it is because it was a chemical weapons manufacturing plant opened during WW2 that was eventually closed and declared a Superfund site. This was long before the population of Denver exploded and they built neighborhoods all around it. I’ve lived here for 15 years and I still think prairie dogs are cute, even if some of them are carrying the bubonic plague!
Woah!
Facts aren't fun and Arsenal normally doesn't have animals...try South Table way better
Royal Gorge is to Denver as NYC is to Kansas City.
👍
Nope
As someone who lives in Colorado, I highly recommend spending your time in any other city than Denver. It’s a very unsafe and dirty with horrible food choices. I recommend staying in somewhere like Boulder, Golden, Fort Collins or Evergreen. These cities offer so much more of the Colorado lifestyle and are far cleaner and safer! Also, make sure you rent a AWD/4WD vehicle and take the train Georgetown instead! Way better views and you get to check out the cute downtown.
That was not enough blur. I'm traumatised. Hoping the rest of the vlog distracts me.....🤢
My bad 😅
Yo. That clip of the little girl and eye was NOT IT.
lol, It was a bit much. She was an adult, but still that movie set me back 😅
EoV comment: You barely did anything in Denver in this video. Stop calling most of Colorado Denver. You're why Colorado folk hate transplants that move down here. You saw all those houses next to the refuge right? Let's make people more knowledgeable, not look like boneheads and call all of Colorado Denver.
👍 Thanks for watching!
