Spirits soared at the inaugural
Hearts & Trails festival, February 24, 2018, at Mile High Station. Fifteen years ago, there were no distilleries in Colorado; today there are close to a hundred, putting this state on the map. The
Colorado Spirits Trail, to be precise, is a map created by the Colorado Distillers Guild that links seventy distilleries across Colorado, many of which poured their products at this first fest. All photos by Danielle Lirette.
