This Independence Day weekend had me thinking about Colorado, which, as Megan and I wrote last year, is the ultimate 4th of July destination. When Tyler and I were visiting for the holiday in July 2019, I made sure we stopped for Voodoo Doughnut before we headed out to the Garden of the Gods. Are they the perfect hiking food? No. But we made it work.
Generally when I go to Colorado, whether that’s for a wintery adventure with snow tubing and ice castles, or a quick visit with a spontaneous road trip to Wyoming, I try to make a stop at one of the Voodoo Doughnut locations in Denver. This is because, when I made my first visit to Colorado in April 2017, Sara and I decided that we absolutely had to go (this was before they had a location at Universal CityWalk in Orlando, Florida). We were without a car, so we probably walked about a mile each way to get there. It was worth it.

If you’ve never been to Voodoo Doughnut, this is definitely a stop to make on your next trip. They currently have four locations throughout Oregon; two in Denver, Colorado; three in Texas; and one at each Universal Studios theme park. The locations are so fun with great vibes – perfect for photo opps – and great donuts. Their flavors go way beyond traditional, with options that include Guava Colada and Old Dirty Bastard (one of my favorites). And you obviously need to get the Voodoo Doll: a yeast donut filled with raspberry jelly and topped with chocolate frosting (as well as a pretzel stake). They also come out with specialty and limited time flavors, so there’s always something new to try.
Since I used to work at a donut shop, I can be a bit of a snob about them; you can trust me when I say these are decadent and delicious. You can commit to a box of them, though whether you share with friends is up to you. 😉
Don’t miss out on the chance to add some more fun dessert into your life – as one of their tees says, it’s “worth the weight.” Get more information about locations and flavors on their website.
