Denver-Style Resolutions for 2025

Kick off the new year by making resolutions that are uniquely Denver! Here’s a mix of adventurous, health-focused, and just plain fun goals to inspire your 2025:

1. Get Outside More

• Resolve to explore Denver’s stunning backyard with 12 new hikes in 12 months. Start with an easy winter trek, like the Cherry Creek State Park trails or Red Rocks Trading Post Loop.

• Try snowshoeing at Brainard Lake Recreation Area for a snowy adventure.

2. Support Local

• Pledge to dine at one new Denver restaurant each month. Start with Water Grill for fresh seafood or head to Work & Class for comforting Latin-American dishes.

• Shop small at places like Stanley Marketplace or Talulah Jones.

3. Boost Your Wellness

• Mix fitness with fun by joining a goat yoga class or trying a bouldering session at Movement Denver.

• Check out the Denver Botanic Gardens’ Winter Wellness Yoga series to de-stress in nature.

4. Get Cultured

• Hit up a different Denver museum or gallery every month, starting with the Denver Art Museum’s art deco exhibit or a quirky spot like Meow Wolf.

5. Say Yes to Adventure

• Try something bold like ice climbing in Ouray, or keep it local with a llama hike (yes, it’s a thing).

• Plan a weekend to ski a new mountain or even take a hot air balloon ride over the Front Range.

6. Take a Social Leap

• Join a fun Denver group, like a running club or a book club at Tattered Cover.

• Attend quirky events like the January 2025 Llama Parade or a live music session at Nocturne.
