This Christmas break, I went on a trip to Costa Rica! I spent 3 days in La Fortuna and 3 days in Tamarindo. La Fortuna is 4 hours away from San Jose and is surrounded by hot springs and the Arenal Volcano. Tamarindo is 4 hours from La Fortuna and lies on the Pacific coast. I had an experience with the jungle and the ocean aspect of Costa Rica and I loved both! Below are some pictures from my trip.

Travel Guide to Colorado
With our campus being in such a beautiful state, we thought that we should share some of our favorite places to go in Colorado. You might want to add these places to your Colorado bucket list.
Sarah Gomez:
A personal summer favorite of mine is Breckenridge, it's an hour and a half drive from campus but it is absolutely amazing. This is an autumn must see for the changing leaves, and if you're looking for a fun halloween activity, there are ghost tours offered both during the day and evening.
Amy Reglin:
If you are looking for a weekend getaway or a quick day trip then Leadville is the place for you. Once an old mining town, the feel is still there. I love Leadville for the fact that it is just over 2 hours from campus, and an easy drive. Mountain High Pies has some of the best pizza and wings I have ever had. Leadville is also home to the world's largest saloon. Check AirBnB for some super cute tiny homes, too.

One of my favorite hikes that I did this year was Sky Pond, which is part of Rocky Mountain National Park. We arrived early enough to see some amazing stars in the morning and watch the sunrise while on the trail, which I highly recommend for those of you with headlamps. To get to the very top, you have to climb up the side of a waterfall, but even as someone with a fear of heights, I consider the view to be worth the climb.

A fun place my roommate and I went to is the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. It is a beautiful area, and there are different trails and hikes you can go on depending on how far you want to hike and what you want to see. It was about an hour and a half from campus, so it is not too far, but makes for a fun day adventure. Bring some water and snacks, and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
