Notes From the Road

DISCOVER COLORADO…. FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES!

RAILS & RAFTS * JEEPS & WAGONS
TRAMS & GONDOLAS * ROADS & FOOTPATHS

Last summer, a group of seniors from Aspen Club/Poudre Valley Hospital discovered southwestern Colorado… from a variety of perspectives. Departing Fort Collins by motor coach, we traveled to Pagosa Springs. With the hint of sulphur in the air (from our dip in the hot springs,) we continued on to Mesa Verde National Park. Our guided tour took us along the same footpaths once traveled by the ancient Anasazi. Alll..aboard the Durango/Silverton steam train to the old mining town of Silverton. In Silverton, we picked up our jeeps and guide/drivers for an amazing trip over Ophir Pass. We stopped for a picnic high in the San Juan Mountains. Food just seems to taste better with that view! We continued on to the mountain resort community of Telluride. A gondola ride brought us into town within one block of our hotel! After a leisurely ride in our motor coach, we arrived in Fruita. We boarded rafts for a leisurely float and picnic lunch on the banks of the Colorado River. WOW! Many people said they had visited these same places, but this provided an entirely different view!

With the same goal of seeing Colorado…from new perspectives, this summer we’re discovering Salida, Buena Vista and the San Luis Valley. We’ll-

• Raft (float) the Arkansas River putting in at Buena Vista
• Take a jeep tour to the historic ghost town of St. Elmo
• Enjoy a horse/wagon ride to dinner at Mt. Princeton Stables
• Ride the Monte Vista Express train to Monte Vista (dome car seats and on board lunch included)
• Watch the drive-in movie…from our hotel room in Monte Vista
• Explore the Great Sand Dunes National Park via dune wagons

Join us for the adventure!
