TreadShare: The Ridesharing App for Outdoor Adventures in Colorado
Spring is well underway, as we slide into the magical month of May. Though the ski season has passed once more, we certainly will not be heading indoors. Okay, I’ll stop with the rhyming. But seriously, the summer fun has just begun. Okay that was the last one, promise.
TreadShare is ready to ride wherever this Summer takes you. Trips to hiking trails, reservoirs and concerts or festivals are expensive. So utilize TreadShare to split the cost of the ride with other people heading to the same place! Drivers are compensated for driving to a place they were already planning to, while passengers are saving on the overall cost of the trip. Plus, who doesn’t love riding passenger on a road trip?
If you’re looking for some outdoor activity inspo, we’ve got your back. With five outdoor activities to check out this season, all you need is a destination! Whether you’re passenger royalty or the driver of the group, these ideas combined with the ease that TreadShare provides, are sure to get you and your pals on the road asap.
We Love A Good Beach Day
Laying in the sand, sun on your skin, and the crisp water at your reach–a beach day is a no brainer. If you’re like me, you love a good mix of relaxing and sunbathing, and being out on the water. Bring a couple snacks for a picnic, and a small speaker to keep the good vibes flowing all day.
Visit a man-made lake like Union Reservoir, where they offer paddleboard and kayak rentals during their open season. Already own a water vessel of your own? Head to Horsetooth, where the water is such a beautiful blue, all year round. Once you’ve picked your spot, post a ride on TreadShare and split the cost of the ride with some companions heading to the same destination.
Take A Hike! But In A Good Way…
We talk about hiking constantly here, but that’s because we, like most living in this glorious state, are nature lovers! Hiking is the perfect outdoor activity for those who love adventure and exploring nature. With TreadShare, you can easily access some of the best hiking trails in your area without having to worry about transportation or parking.
The obvious spot for me to recommend is Rocky Mountain National Park. Glorious views, a scenic route and plenty of other hikers to meet along the way. The Emerald Trail is always a good choice, with a 3.6 mile round trip and stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Another great option is the Hanging Lake Trail is a super unique and challenging hike in Glenwood Springs. The trail is just about 1.2 miles long and gains over 1,000 feet of elevation.
What’s Summer Without Red Rocks?
Or any festival of your choosing for that matter! Attending outdoor concerts and festivals can quickly become expensive when you factor in ticket costs, food, drinks, and transportation. Thankfully, TreadShare offers a cost-effective transportation solution by allowing you to save a little cash to put towards a different aspect of your concert-going experience.
Going to concerts and festivals as a whole is always a social experience, and sharing a ride with other attendees through TreadShare can lead to new connections and friendships. It's also an excellent opportunity to meet people who share similar interests and create memorable experiences together. Arguably, making new pals while also reducing the number of cars on the road? Sounds like a win-win to me.
How About Some Farmer’s Market Fun?
I mean one of my favorite ways to spend Saturday morning is buying fresh, local produce from my neighborhood Farmers Market. Farmers Markets have been a staple of sustainability since the first fresh lemonade stand was started at the street corner. By shopping at farmers markets, you can enjoy the taste and health benefits of fresh, seasonal produce.
Supporting small businesses, having access to high quality fruits and vegetables at a fair price are just a couple of reasons to venture to the Market for your next grocery haul. Most TreadShare drivers will indicate whether they have room for an amount of luggage for their rides. This way, if you take a rideshare to and from the market, you’ll have space to pack some away some goodies from your adventures!
You can easily find other adventurers to share a TS ride with to some of the best lookout spots in CO. One of the most popular spots is Mount Evans Scenic Byway, located just outside of Denver. The scenic route alone offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges, making it an ideal spot to watch the sunrise or sunset.
Another great option to catch the big star in the sky is the Maroon Bells in Aspen, which offers the most stunning views of the iconic twin peaks reflected in the crystal clear waters of Maroon Lake. The drive to the Maroon Bells can present some rough terrain, but with TreadShare, you can easily find other adventurers to share the ride with to make the journey more enjoyable.
