One of my favorite childhood memories is finding eggs every Easter and then opening them all up to find out what kind of surprises they hold. Now that I have kids of my own, I try and carry on the tradition each year by hitting up a hunt or two.
Here are the Easter egg hunts we know about in Southern Colorado (If we missed yours, email us at ShawnPatrick@iHeartMedia.com, and we'll add it);
