Amber
A Colorado native born and raised just outside of Denver, Amber currently resides in Fort Collins with her husband and two furry companions. She frequently travels all over Colorado visiting friends and family, trying new places to eat, running local 5Ks, and gathering experiences to share with I Heart Colorado. When she’s not in the classroom teaching, she’s out exploring CO!

Ashlee
After spending her childhood in California, Ashlee finally heeded the siren call to Colorado, where she worked as a whitewater raft guide for six summers. She and her husband live near the Arkansas River, where they love to raft in the summer, hike in the fall, and play with their two dogs year-round. Ashlee teaches middle-school English and enjoys bringing her travel experiences to her students.
