Creede is my new favorite place!

I want you to join me here and discover the beauty and magnificence it offers. I will add to this page as I discover more, but wanted to jot down my initial thoughts here so you can get an idea of why I love the place.

I discovered Creede in 2018 when I helped some friends sell their condo in another part of Colorado, and then they moved to Creede.

It only took me 15 years of living in Colorado to find Creede! -Kristin
