Make Sure to Check These Out This Summer!
With April
flowers blooming, it gets us thinking about one thing, and that is trail riding
and vacation season. With all this excitement of getting ready to vacation this
summer, we thought it would be a wonderful time to mention some of our amazing
attractions to check out while your visiting us in Colorado.
One of our favorite spots to tell our customers about and to check out is the Royal Gorge. This high suspension bridge is breathtaking and for anyone who loves the thrill of heights, they will definitely want to put this on their list of attractions to see. The 956-foot overlook of the Arkansas River is simply amazing and there are several ways to take in the view. One way is to walk across the bridge or you can opt to take a gondola across it. If heights aren’t your thing, then there are a few additional ways to see it. You can go by train or see it while whitewater rafting to take in the view from below. I have walked across it and seen it by train, either way that you decide to see it, it’s worth every cent to see something so beautiful. We highly recommend visiting their website to learn more about this vacation hotspot or to see some amazing pictures of the bridge, but I can honestly say pictures don’t do it justice after seeing it in person.The second place we highly recommend is Seven Falls. It’s 224 steps of peer beauty. In my opinion, it’s also one of Colorado’s little secrets. This magical waterfall has seven falls that cascade down a steep canyon wall. I have been there a few times and well, yes, one of those times was in the winter, and to this day my husband and I still laugh about it. Even though the frozen falls were gorgeous, I highly recommend this as a summer visit. One more little tip when visiting the falls, is that you should try to make this a nightly outing, as they light up the falls with some beautiful lights at night. Seven Falls is also the only waterfall to be recognized in the National Geographic’s list of international waterfalls. What an experience this would be for you to be able to say, you’ve seen it.
A final little attraction idea we really recommend visiting before you vacation back home is taking in some of the natural hot springs that Colorado has to offer. It’s a terrific way to end your day relaxing in the hot springs after a busy day at the ranch. One of the hot springs we recommend is SalidaHot Springs Aquatic Center. Here you get the poolside experience with all the benefits of the hot springs. If you’re looking more for an outside hot springs experience, one we can recommend if you want to take a little drive is JoyfulJourney Hot Springs just outside of Moffat, Colorado. It offers a beautiful mountain view while your soaking away, and this will definitely provide the rejuvenation you’ll need after a long day on the trails.
