Spring is in the air and the weather outside is warm and delightful, which can only mean one thing… It is ice cream season! That’s right folks; we are giving you permission to go indulge in as much ice cream as you like and recommend you begin by taking this mouthwatering Colorado ice cream trail (Link to the original interactive map can be found here ):
1. Walrus Ice Cream (Fort Collins)
As you can see by the line of people in the first picture, Walrus is one of Northern Colorado's favorite stops for ice cream... but don't let the long lines scare you away or you may miss out on some of the creamiest homemade ice cream you have ever tasted!
2. Glacier Homemade Ice Cream (Boulder)
Fortunately for us Coloradans, Glacier Homemade Ice Cream is a small chain, so you can get your fix in not just Boulder, but also Denver and the Springs! (For the sake of keeping this trip as smooth as possible, we recommend checking out of their two Boulder locations.)
3. Bonnie Brae Ice Cream (Denver)
When it comes to unforgettable ice cream parlors, Denver has plenty of options; however, we have to recommend Bonnie Brae not only for its numerous flavors, but also for its charming storefront in the historic Bonnie Brae neighborhood.
4. Josh & John's Ice Cream (Colorado Springs)
Founded by two high school buddies, Josh & Johns is a true culinary experience that features "creamy, dense and full of flavor" treats that are slow churned with only the finest of ingredients.
5. Third Bowl Homemade Ice Cream (Crested Butte)
I mean, having a "Third Bowl" of ice cream may seem excessive to some, but after sampling one of their made-from-scratch slow batch ice creams, you may actually order a tenth bowl...
6. Chocolate Moose Ice Cream Parlor (Glenwood Springs)
There is more to this vintage-style ice cream parlor than *just* ice cream, including floats, (ice cream) nachos, and an assortment of other homemade sweets!
