Howdy...I am in Colorado this Week on Vacation!!! June 4-11th
heading to Grand Lake for a few days and then a pass by Aspen and Vail.

any suggestions?

Any ideas?

I have little ones with me, and I would appreciate ideas that would apply to 7-10 year olds...

my little gal loves horses and wants to ride one...(I have no experience in this area).

My son loves native amercan stuff...

Right now I am in Boulder (People's Republic of Boulder)...and will be back after our Grand Lake excursion!!)

1. If you find yourself westerly
...Kids love the Ouray Hot Springs pool. Warm side, cool side, and two slides. Good little museum in town, too, and a couple of horseback outfitters that do nice day rides through the old mining country. Narrow-gauge train nearby in Silverton/Durango. :)

Have fun! :hi:

2. If you take Trail Ridge road to Grand Lake
You could ride in Rocky Mountain National Park.

3. The Georgetwon Loop Railroad
It's not a very long trip. Lots of fun for kids. http://www.georgetownlooprr.com/

Georgetwon is just west of Denver on I-70.

4. If you can swing by south..
Take the kids to visit Cave of the Winds in Manitou Springs. Always a entertaining visit

(Yeah, SP did an episode on this -- and no phallic staclitites are found there)
