The energy here is electric, the scenery is stunning, and it’s easy to imagine how powerful the acoustics must be when a concert is in full swing. Highly recommended for nature lovers, travelers, and music fans alike! 🎸✨

Wow. Wow. Wow. First time here for a concert, and this place is BONKERS cool! Great views. Obviously. Great sounding show. Good food and beverage access and options. I need to come back during the day and check out the museum and the surrounding areas. Sooo cool!
This was easily one of the best stops on our trip. The views were absolutely beautiful. We had a tour guide with us who was very knowledgeable about the area and the theatre itself.
It's a bit of an intense hike up, but it's well-worth the climb.
Gift shop is at the top as well as a wall with everyone who has performed there, and a history section.
It was really fun and I would go again. Definitely something everyone should see.
Incredible landmark. The layout is amazing even if you are just visiting for views or exercise. The trails around the park provide great views all around. The inside has a lovely gift shop, nice restrooms and awesome museum style set up for education on the location. This place was so awesome, I visited twice this trip.
A Must-See Colorado Gem!
I visited Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre at the end of summer, and it was absolutely breathtaking. The natural rock formations are stunning, and the views of Denver from the top are incredible. The amphitheater itself is iconic standing there feels like being part of music history.
The hiking trails were well-maintained and offered a great mix of scenery and exercise. Parking was easy, and the staff were friendly and helpful. If you go, make sure to catch a sunset; it’s magical!
Whether you’re here for a concert, a workout, or just to soak in the beauty, Red Rocks is an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Colorado!
Magnificent amphitheater from the surroundings to the engineering and design. If you ever get the opportunity to see a concert or service….go. Amphitheater looks to the east so sunrise services are spectacular and one is not looking into the sun for evening concerts. We were there and they were testing the sound system…. Quite impressive in an empty amphitheater. Take a look at the museum below and see the hall of fame performers.
Always delivers! Visit and experience the museum! The restaurant is also really good with plenty of outdoor seating. Love the history and that it is completely accessible to the public. There are also miles and miles of trails to enjoy the stunning beauty! If you are lucky enough to go to an actual concert, it is super!
One of the best live music venues ever. It’s amazing. The scenery. The venue. The sound. The camaraderie. Likes attract likes. Good people everywhere inside. Music brings people together. Bucket list trip. Get here if you can. You will remember it all.

The Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave
Mentioned on
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave, located in Golden, Colorado, is a park-based tribute to the legendary cowboy and his impact on the American West. The museum offers exhibits showcasing Buffalo Bill's life as a skilled buffalo hunter, his transition to showbiz with the Wild West shows, and his lasting legacy. Visitors can enjoy beautiful mountain views from Lookout Mountain where the museum is situated.
Spent the day at the Buffalo Bill Museum + Grave, and it felt like stepping into the pages of all the Western stories I grew up loving. The sights, the stories, the spirit of the frontier—brought back so many memories of dusty trails, cowboy legends, and a time when the West was still wild. A truly unforgettable visit. Loved it! Wish the gift shop was open.

Great little museum that highlights Buffalo Bill, his shows and his positive impact on the people around him. Great displays of saddles, cloths, guns and guns from his colorful life. Cost is very reasonable and The Cody burial site (he and his wife) is just a short walk up the hill.
The museum was interesting and the tickets were extremely reasonable at $5/piece. Gives you access to real bathrooms as well, which was better than the porta potty options outside. The museum had a lot to see and read, along with the gravesite outside. Spent about 30-45 minutes here. The view was nice from up there as well.
I was driving along I-70 W from Denver when I spotted the sign for Buffalo Bill’s Grave and decided to take a spontaneous detour . One of the best road trip decisions I’ve made!
The drive up Lookout Mountain took about 10 minutes and I even made a quick stop for amazing ground coffee at Et Voila French Bakery nearby.
There’s no admission fee to visit the grave and the site has plenty of free parking. You can easily walk around or just stop at one of the scenic overlooks for a breathtaking 360 degree view of the mountains and Denver below.
It’s immediately clear why Buffalo Bill himself wanted to be buried here the view alone is worth the trip.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to visit the museum, but the historic grave, the peaceful setting and the panoramic views made it absolutely worthwhile. A real piece of American history, beautifully preserved and easy to access. Perfect quick stop for anyone traveling along I-70!
Tip: Bring a camera — the views and the monument are incredibly photogenic.
Happened to see the sign for this when traveling to Idaho Springs so I went to take a look & was not disappointed!
I had heard the name Buffalo Bill but certainly did not know what an impact he had on this area. it was a lot of fun to explore the museum and see the mountain towns from the overlook.
Very cool little museum. Tons of personal artifacts from the Cody family and lots of good Buffalo Bill history. Wish the gift shop and cafe were still open. Good little stop outside of Denver and you can explore the Denver Mountain parks.
Before visiting I had a good idea of who Buffalo Bill was but after visiting here. Wow, this guy was something truly amazing and lived quite the life.
The museum had a ton of amazing artifacts, guns, Native American artifacts and even stuff to keep the tweens busy.
I would visit again if I come back to Golden again.
Highly suggest checking this out and the view is quite amazing up there! 😎
Our first trip to Denver, and this was a must see. The museum is quiet, clean, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the museum and the surrounding area. The view was breathtaking, literally. If you have ANY sort of fear of heights at all, I don't recommend the trip up, or the lookout area. For us though, it was great and I do think everyone that can handle the height should experience this.

Mountains
Lookout Mountain, a 7,377m-high peak located in Lookout Mountain Park, boasts stunning views of Denver and is home to the final resting place of Buffalo Bill. While it may be considered a foothill of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, this majestic mountain offers an abundance of hiking trails and fascinating attractions that make it hard to miss when visiting Golden. The 110-acre park provides visitors with interactive exhibits and opportunities to reconnect with nature.
Ended up being an easier hike than I expected. Even out of shape 54 year old me could do it. Glorious views!
Tim S — Google review
Easy drive to the top of this mountain with phenomenal views of the greater Denver area! Also enjoyed our visit to Buffalo Bill's museum at the top.
The views here left us spellbound! I loved the sight of downtown Denver from such a height. We took loads of photos and saw Buffalo Bill's grave. Heard the sunset here rocks!
The view are magnificent. View city of Golden and the mountains are gorgeous. Has a Buffalo Bill museum there along with his supposedly grave.
You can see eastward towards Denver and beyond on a clear day (unfortunately, it rained as you can see in the photos).
Great view of Downtown Golden, though.
Visited July 2024. The views are fantastic at the top of the mountain. There is a big parking lot so you can drive up, park, walk about 5 minutes to Buffalo Bill's grave, and then visit the museum or gift shop for an ice cream break. It's a bit of a drive from the other big attractions in Denver, but it's worth the visit if you enjoy history.
Great view of the city, easy to access with drive to the top. Cool history with Buffalo Bill's grave nextdoor.
This is a VERY beautiful place. You can see Golden, Boulder, Denver, and probably more. We did this as part of the Lariat Loop (HIGHLY RECOMMEND). It was a great place to take in the scenery. The gift shop was closed when we were there, which was a bummer. We were looking forward to that, but can’t complain about the rest!

Carousel of Happiness
Mentioned on
Water & Amusement Parks
Amusement park ride
Nestled at the edge of a supermarket parking lot, the Carousel of Happiness is a delightful slice of history that promises joy for visitors of all ages. This charming attraction features 56 meticulously hand-carved animals on a beautifully restored 1910 Loof carousel, accompanied by the enchanting sounds of a vintage 1913 Wurlitzer organ. For just $1 per ride, families can experience this nostalgic gem while soaking in its rich backstory.
My son and I absolutely love this! We went two times. The story of this carousel is so amazing, I saw it on the CBS Sunday Morning show, or trumpets as we call it. The animals are lovely, the shop is lovely, the staff is lovely. What a wonderful place to visit, it was so fun.
Aubree D — Google review
What a beautiful place with an amazing history! Knowledgeable and helpful people at the front desk and at the carousel ride, an interesting museum/gift shop, and it is accessible for people with sensory issues – – they were happy to give us over that ear headphones to wear on the ride (the music is loud). At only three dollars per person, this place is a must visit if you are in the area.
A truly charming and inspiring little stop in Nederland. The hand-carved animals on the carousel each have their own personality and story, and you can feel the love that went into creating them. It’s not just a ride—it’s a piece of art, and a reminder of joy for less than a cup of coffee!
I went on a weekday and it wasn’t busy, which made it even more magical and peaceful. The whole place has a quaint, nostalgic vibe, and it’s hard not to leave with a smile. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and want something uplifting.
The story behind this beautiful piece of craftsmanship is touching. A Vietnam Vet built the piece for people to enjoy just so his mind would be at peace from the rigorous of combat. A must-see experience.
No need to notify your face to show the world your smile, as this Carousel of Happiness may well remind you that happiness is here for the taking, so do enjoy the ride! The Wall to Somewhere Else holds the space for a beloved, The stained glass windows (Artist Cypress Willett) above the carousel are gateways of color to spiritual mystery, the hand carved creatures (Artist Scott Harrison ) are sure to see you safely on your journey around. One more ride on the Merry Go Round!
Speaking as a full grown middle aged man, if you can ride on this beautifully restored antique carousel and somehow manage to NOT smile, you are too full of negative energy and need to go on another ride. Such a cool thing to see in a cute little mountain town, A+, 5 stars, would recommend visiting.
Absolutely beautiful artwork and an incredibly kind and most patient staff. My daughter took three rides and I adored listening to the pristine sounds of the Wurlitzer band organ. What a treasure this carousel is!
Such a cute stop! The hand carved animals are really beautiful and there is a lot of info on the history of the carousel. $3/ride and kids under 1 are free. We rode twice and my 6mo old had a blast.

Bear Lake Trailhead
Mentioned on
Hiking area
Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Bear Lake Trailhead serves as the starting and ending point for a short nature trail looping around a scenic, high-altitude lake. Due to limited parking, access to the Bear Lake Corridor may be restricted during peak times, requiring visitors to use a hiker shuttle from Estes Park Visitor Center. The area offers several popular hiking routes, including a challenging four-mile hike up Flattop Mountain and an easier trail leading to Nymph, Dream, and Emerald lakes.
I really don't know how I've always overlooked Rocky Mountain National Park. I know this is a review on Bear Lake the wild the entire park is amazing. Bear Lake is what you make of it easy or to the extreme there are so many different areas to hike from here. Great for couples singles families or even small little groups. The lake is very easy to do .8 miles it has different scenes at every corner you turn. I did the loop and then headed out to Emerald Lake I'm so glad I did.
LAUS D — Google review
Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park is absolutely stunning and a must-visit spot. The lake is surrounded by breathtaking mountain peaks and tall pine trees, making it a picture-perfect place for nature lovers. The trail around the lake is an easy walk, suitable for all ages, and offers beautiful views from every angle. The clear reflections of the mountains in the water are especially magical in the morning. It can get crowded during peak times, but the peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty make it worth the visit. A perfect place to relax, take photos, or start your hike deeper into the park.
With postcard worthy views throughout the easy walk around this picturesque alpine lake it's quite easy to see why there are such stringent timed entry constraints for the Bear Lake Road corridor. It only takes about fifteen minutes to walk around the trail is flat and very well maintained. Definitely suggest it if you are short on time or just don't feel like going on a multiple mile long hike. As far as the timed entry permit goes if you visit during peak season and plan well enough in advanced then permits can be secured starting a month in advance. Or a limited few are released the night before. However if you cannot secure a permit you can still work around the timed entry hours either arrive early (before 5 a.m., or visit right after 6 pm.) . I would love to visit during the fall, and winter as I'm sure both seasons add their own personal beauty to the already pristine lake
We had a wonderful time here. The trails are very, very smooth. they do have a couple little rocks in them, you could probably get a large wheeled stroller through here, but I would probably still recommend a carrier if you have young kids instead. This is a very kid, friendly trail, too. Beautiful and lots of great views and picture opportunities all the way around the lake. It’s about a mile around. There are lots of people, but it doesn’t really seem like it once you’re on the trail.
One of the most popular starting points in Rocky Mountain National Park. At 9.475 ft (2900m) elevation, the air stays cool even in summer. From here, you can hike to Bear Lake Loop, Nymph Lake, Dream Lake and Emerald Lake. Parking fills up quickly for those with cars but shuttle buses are available for visitors without one. Surrounded by pine, spruce and fir forests. It's a beautiful trail.
Super easy trail that is basically paved and flat the whole loop. Took the shuttle from park n ride to make it even easier and not worry about parking. Also did the Emerald Lake trail before hand. So this is a good add-on hike if you still have energy from Emerald.
Great place for hiking, no matter what level you're at. Plenty of parking and a free park and ride system, restrooms and as always knowledgeable and helpful rangers on hand. We did the hike up to Emerald lake via Nymph lake and Dream lake, and also to Alberta falls, then out through Glacier Gorge trailhead. Excellent trails and amazing scenery! The must visit one stop destination fo hikers of all ages and abilities.
The trail to Lake Haiyaha has an unmarked corner on a switchback that, if snowed over, would be missed leading off trail since there is no deterrent. It is beautiful and very windy up there. The bridge noted as under construction on the NPS site is complete to Emerald Lake.

Bear Lake Trail is a highly popular 0.8-mile loop in Rocky Mountain National Park, featuring 30 interpretive markers and breathtaking scenery. It's perfect for those with limited time or seeking an easy stroll with stunning mountain views. The trailhead is located at the Bear Lake parking lot, making it easily accessible. This family-friendly hike allows strollers and wheelchairs, offering plenty of opportunities to admire the beautiful alpine lake at over 9,450 feet elevation.
You need timed park reservations to get here. Make them 30 days in advance. Remember that you are starting this hike at 9,475 feet above sea level. Know your limitations. It is a half mile loop and pretty easy but even on June 6, there were places with snow.

August 13, 2023 Hiked from Bear Lake Trail head to Nymph Lake to Lake Haiyaha trail in RMNP Colorado
It was a bit too early in the season to do the walk around the lake. There was packed snow all the way around.
Great views great hiking
Worth noting that when I visited on June 1 2022, I was unable to complete the trail because some sections were so snowed over. I’m sure people with the right equipment and hiking attire could make it through. But be prepared for snow even well into spring.
it is so beautiful!! I can’t wait to visit on summer to see different view! you can walk around the lake( or even on top at the time we when) there are several trail you can go, we didn't complete it but it can be a short walk or long! People also go there skiing, so cheap that you don't need to pay for the ticket to resort and not much people there which is surprising, I was think it will be a lot of people bc spring break. Overall is a great place
Love this place
(Translated by Google) In general it is very nice to visit. I recommend it more in summer. However, in winter the journey is also pleasant

Argo Gold Mill and Tunnel
Mentioned on
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Argo Gold Mill and Tunnel, located in Idaho Springs, is a historic former gold mine and mill that offers guided tours providing insights into the area's rich gold mining history. The tour includes exploration of the tunnels and showcases the equipment used during the mining operations. Visitors can also engage in a gold-panning activity as part of the tour experience. Additionally, nearby Clear Creek offers opportunities for whitewater rafting amidst stunning natural scenery, catering to rafters of all experience levels.
Touring the Argo was an experience we won't forget - our tour guide was incredible, and was very knowledgeable. Touring the entrance to the Argo and the mill was fascinating, especially seeing one of the first circuit breakers by Tesla himself in person (which was very fun to review with my electrician husband). I've been to many mine tours but the Argo is one that will stick with us! There is gold panning at the end of the tour, and gemstone panning for the kids. Guaranteed gold flecks. Truly would recommend!
Miranda B — Google review
This was great for a day trip and I can say as a native had never realized they did tours! We walked in on the hour and were able to join the tour group but after us it was full so I would recommend getting there 20 min early or on weekends making a reservation. A short bus ride to the tunnel entrance and then a tour from the top to the bottom of the mill. We learned A LOT. I would say if you have mobility or breathing issues this isn’t the place to go. Your time in the mine tunnel is short as is the distance you can travel inside it. The mill is dusty and there are tons of crazy old stairs. The price for the tour was a little steep $30 for adults and $20 for kids plus they state the tour guides work on tips. It was a full 1+ hours with the tour and the gold panning. I would totally recommend but there are going to be people who don’t feel the price is worth it. Also note that no gold was found here it was merely a tunnel for transporting it to the mill. There are lots of other mines to visit in the area too.
Overall a great tour! Understanding the logistics and economics involved, considering halving the maximum tour size. Our guide would start talking in the next area before half of the folks on our tour were able to get there. But he was very informative and knowledgeable. Also, think about adding captions to the video tour show before the tour ends.
Such a fun and unique experience! You get to explore a bit of the mines and learn a lot about the history of gold mining in Colorado along the way. Yes, you do get to look for gold. A slight disclaimer, you will only find 1 - 3 specs and it is in a separate basin. However, it's fun and informative nonetheless.
I had an absolute blast at Argo Mill & Tunnel in Idaho Springs! Our tour guide Sam was fantastic knowledgeable, engaging, and full of enthusiasm. He brought the history to life and made sure everyone was included. The tour was hands on and fun, from the breathtaking mill structure to gold panning in the final pit. If you enjoy local history and a bit of adventure, this one’s a must do with an awesome guide at the helm.
We were provided information on the mine, mining process and gold processing. You will walk through the old gold mill and get a glimpse of the ARGO water drainage and cart train tunnel. You are also provided a pan of sand to pan for some gold flakes you can keep. While interesting, I'm not sure it is worth the $30 a piece for entry.
Fun experience, different from other mine tours. Kids loved that gold panning was a part of it. Running water and bathrooms before and after tour.
FYI- with the ongoing construction and updates, the roads in may differ from your gps/map.
It was a great time. Got to learn a lot about the area and the mine. Thomas was our guide and really helped make the experience that more awesome with all the knowledge of the site new and old. I wouldn’t skip the experience and can’t wait to come back and see the expansion of the Argo going up the mountain.

Indian Hot Springs is a simple resort located in Idaho Springs, offering basic rooms and log cabins. The resort features a mineral water pool and a spa, making it an ideal place for relaxation. Guests have praised the accommodating staff who allowed early check-in after being stranded in a snowstorm. The pool is described as an awesome perk, resembling a giant hot tub. Visitors also appreciate the new renovations, private caves, and mud baths available at the resort.
My dad and I have been here a few times and I keep forgetting to write a review. Or it's been a while since I have... anyway! I love the old building. It's certainly old, but it's very clean and nice. The staff are friendly and gave us a good dinner reccomendation for the Cider Brewery in town. My dad and I got one of the outdoor private tubs, lovely quiet place, nice little "yard". Truly relaxing. The tub was super hot and a hour long soak was more than enough! We showed up without a reservation, and even though we got a private tub still, I think next time we will follow as the staff reccomend and make a reservation for a tub it we go later in the day. *they said earlier there is less people typically, more people come after work etc.
But it was a lovely night for a hot tub, cool but not freezing, (though, there was an umbrella which I assume will be nice if it's snowing) but the strem running out front and the calm music they had playing, this place is lovely!
(We didn't stay in the hotel itself just here for the hot springs)

We came from Denver to celebrate a friend’s special birthday—a place we’ve enjoyed visiting every other month. Unfortunately, traffic on I-70 was unusually bad that day. I called ahead and left a voicemail to let them know we were running late and asked if our one-hour bath time could be shifted slightly.
When we arrived just 15 minutes late, I politely asked if we could still have our full hour, provided there was no reservation after ours. The staff declined and insisted we pay for an extra hour to extend our time. I asked to speak with the manager, hoping for some understanding, but she repeated the same answer—without any flexibility or consideration, even though it was a weekday and the facility was not busy.
It was disheartening to see walk-in guests being accommodated while our paid reservation left us with less time and more stress. The staff even reminded that we have 35 min and we will be fined if we are late. I found that rude, extra time that we spent to talk to the customer service wasted our paid time. As regular customers who came to celebrate a special occasion, we expected a bit more understanding and goodwill. Instead, we were met with rigidity and rude communication that cut into our celebration.
We left feeling disappointed and taken advantage of. We won’t be returning, and I hope the management reconsiders how they treat loyal guests in the future.
I rented the outdoor cypress soaking tub, and it was so fabulous that I rebooked it before I left. I was so happy and excited that I left my favorite tote bag, with my bathing necessities. Good thing I’m going back in a few days. The minerals in the water were extremely soothing and rejuvenating.
I didn’t check out the rest of the facilities, only the outdoor bath. Five stars!
I have been coming here for 30 years. This is the 1st time I have been extremely disappointed with my experience. The room prices have increased but they have not been updated. You now have to pay for the caves even when you stay at the resort. These used to come with the rooms. When we checked in we were told that we now have to pay separately. I was will to do that and with out complaints. When we tried to pay for them on the 2nd day of our stay we were told, you now have to make reservations and you are given a hour and a half only. If you want more time you have to pay another 40 or 32 dollars (price difference when staying at the resort or not staying). We booked massages for 1 day of our stay and we cannot use the caves before hand because they are "booked" for that time slot. I am extremely disappointed. My mom and I have been coming here to relax and use the caves, nap, get a massage and more for years but now we are no longer able to do that without being scheduled. We will not be coming back.
I came from out of state to find out this place isn't working because of water pipe problem. The manager was a nice person, and he was working hard to fix it. I came later at night when it was fixed and I enjoyed the place. The pool is cool and the caves were great. I see a lot of exaggeration in the reviews. I just recommend making it a booking only visit, so that in case something happens, all potential visitors get notified by email and they don't travel to Idaho Springs. If bookings are not needed, some people like me might show up on a bad day, and the resort won't be working, so they get disappointed. I checked the mineral content of the water, and I hope they are accurate, as one of them seems too high. Otherwise, thank you Justin and the rest of the team! I hope I'll be able to visit Colorado again and come to IHS!
Worth the price. We got a 50 min couples massage, which wasnt bad, but definitely not amazing. It came with a pool pass though, and the water was clean, and all the plants were beautiful and well kept. Easy to book/ check in, did not stay overnight*
Overall, we enjoyed a relaxing hot mineral springs experience.
None of the negatives would prevent me from enjoying the place again, and they should not deter you either. But they DO prevent me from giving all five stars.
First, the staff overall were friendly and helpful, but there were exceptions. Those exceptions were youth/youthful who responded with mild snark and/or condescension (probably in exacerbation from repeating themselves) that has no place in a service business where comfort and relaxation are what’s on offer.
Second the website did not inspire confidence. What are we buying? How does it work? Are there other fees? How many people does this reserved tub accomodate? Sadly we resorted to calling when the website reservation system proves too opaque.
Third, the facilities are … tired. The tub we reserved wasn’t quite level. The decking was sagging away at the back edge. Everything was CLEAN and sanitary but not maintained to resort standards. Everything worked however. To be fair, the springs were first opened in 18xx!
Big picture though? We had a good time. It was safe, clean, and had friendly staff, and we will come here again.
Water is super chlorinated in the main pool. The front desk was unclear that the entire building was without water, the way that they made it sound there were only 2 bathrooms that had the water turned off. After we paid and went downstairs it was made apparent that no showers, changing rooms were closed, no drinkable water, and no bathrooms. They were totally fine with charging us full price though. The plants surrounding the pool do make for a cool experience. Also, there seems to be a communication breakdown between the pool staff and the front desk as the front desk guy said we can stay in the pool until 9 and we were getting warned that we needed to leave at 8:40. I’d give them another try as I understand the water being turned off was a (hopefully) temporary issue, but definitely just rent a private pool hoping to have less chlorine to deal with.

Mount Blue Sky is a breathtaking high-altitude peak nestled in the Rocky Mountains, offering an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Accessible during the summer months via a well-maintained paved road, this stunning destination provides panoramic views that are simply awe-inspiring. The drive is surprisingly manageable, especially on weekdays when crowds are thinner, thanks to a reservation system that helps reduce traffic and enhance safety.
Amazing place to go. If you are anywhere near this place make the climb. Road views are awesome and plenty of mountain goats and their babies are usually around. The goats also give free carwashes
Alec K — Google review
Really beautiful scenery. We stopped here pretty briefly, and unfortunately the peak was closed so we didnt go very far, but gorgeous nonetheless.
Wonderful spot. Biked to the top ages ago. Evans having been the territorial governor and perhaps having acted to cover up the needless loss of life of indigenous people, then lost the mountain that bore his name for over 100 years. So it goes.
One of the most incredible mountain drives you can do in Colorado. It truly was the experience of a lifetime. The sights were breathtaking, from the mountains, lakes, valleys, to wildlife, couldn’t recommend more. At one point we drove into a thunderstorm, then above it. I would do this every day of my life if I could.
Beautiful getting up to the road that takes you to the top but that's as far as you can get. Road is closed but there are other parts to see while in that area
We did a ride up for sunset and during the day with a reservation. The views were beautiful and sunset was absolutely amazing! Great drive although the road near the top is in need of work that is scheduled to happen end of July 2024 and last about a year
Drove up around 10am on a Sunday. Beautiful day, lots of bikers riding up (kudos to them!) and relatively low traffic. Saw a herd of goats approaching the parking lot. ‘Hiked’ the summit trail and had some gorgeous views to go with the easiest 14er.
A great and easy way to experience a 14er! Purchased tickets in advance and drove to the top parking lot. There were many pretty views along the way. At the top we ran into so many mountain goats and marmots! We hiked to the top, which was a short trail with some mild elevation gains. The elevation definitely made a huge difference. At the top, we were roughly at 14,225 feet!

Great resort , people are friendly and service was professional. We were there in the summer and rode the gondola ride! Lot of fun and cool place on top to eat and drink. It was opening day for the summer so we got to see tons of mountain bikers riders. Watching them was really fun. Cant wait to come back this winter!

Day visit during the Summer ... Only 1.5 hrs from Denver. The drive is breathtaking. Great customer service. We decided to book an e-bike tour the same day, last minute so we had to call. We did the Riverside tour but the mountain tour was also an option. If we had arrived earlier maybe we could have done both. Included with it was a day pass for the gondola and $12 drink voucher (can only be redeemed on resort owned restaurants. Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. The bikes were pretty comfortable. The only disappointment was the food options after.
Rooms were very nice. Not a hotel but hotel-like. Multiple restaurants were shutdown during our stay (the one we wanted to go to was shutdown for a private event) & restaurant shutdowns weren't mentioned when we booked. One of the 2 mountain slides was also shutdown. Other than that a nice place to visit.
Winter Park is a great family ski resort. Nice accommodations and cute little village. The stores do close down by 6pm or so, not a lot of nightlife but great for families that like to hang out.
Winter Park is perfect for people of all ages and skill levels. They are skilled at providing for an extremely large number of people all at once. Everyone was very, friendly, helpful, and understanding. We attended the beginning ski school and were expertly matched with the best instructors for our needs. My instructor Gordon was extremely patient with me and made sure that I had the best experience possible. My husband's instructor Diago was awesome too.
We had such a fun and organized experience at Winter Park! The ice tubing area is very well managed, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. They also have hot cocoa and snacks available, which made the whole experience even better.
Don’t forget to take the gondola to the Winter Park Village for beautiful scenic views, great food options, and access to skiing. Perfect winter outing for families!
Spoke with Nikki in Customer Service at 4:58pm (they close at 5pm). Was thankful she answered the phone and was extremely helpful! She stayed on the phone with me and tried to find an answer to my questions. Can't said enough kind things about Nikki and the team at Winter Park. We are headed there this summer for a concert and had some questions. We always have a great time skiing, but had a few questions about summer activities. Thank you Nikki!
Be aware if you are coming from out of state I’m extremely disappointed with this company’s lack of transparency. * THERE IS NO DISCLAIMER ON WEBSITE * what’s so ever They failed to inform us that a required lift ticket was not included in our ski reservations , only telling us one day before, which forced us to pay over $400 unexpectedly. That we simply can not afford When we asked for a refund, they refused, citing their “8-day window” policy—despite the fact that they didn’t provide the necessary information before that window closed. This was inconsiderate, poorly handled, and shows a lack of responsibility toward their customers.

What a hidden gem. Love this place… no lines (unless New Year’s Day, but even at that min wait time 5-min)… the staff here is so friendly, kind and very helpful. My family and I have enjoyed not only our summers here but also winter. The restaurant is really good food, compliments to the chef. The employees here are incredible in all faucets ranging from the ski/bike rental, equipment sales, restaurant staff and especially all of those whom work the lifts and safety patrol. Keep up the great work everyone… looking forward to many more great experiences and memories!

Great place for trail running during the summer. Fraser Canyon to Nature's Way makes for a punishing ascent with rewarding views at the top before a leisurely downhill run back to the base. (Also a great place for skiing in winter)
Since I cannot directly respond to your review comment, yes you may use any of those photos.
Advanced Beginner hill. Not a ton of really hard runs but it was perfect for me. I loved the glade runs off of the green runs. Plenty of snow here and groomers were really nice in the early morning. RFID gates work well with a pass in your left glove or sleeve. Everyone working here was pleasant to deal with and pricing was fairly reasonable compared to some of the other mega resorts nearby. I looked at VRBO for rooms and they were really reasonable. Parking is well lit and there is plenty of it.
There are a bunch of ski in ski out condos/houses.
Love that they are on Indy Pass!
I didn't stay in any of the rooms but can't imagine there are anything less than five stars. I really like the bathroom sink handle....you get to choose the temperature of the water and turn it on and off when you want to.
We had a great time skiing for our first time! The weather conditions weren't that great, but they got snow the day after we left. Lol. We went with family who have been here several times & they love it! The green lines are difficult for beginners, but that could've had a lot to do with the ice. The staff and facility were wonderful! The pizza oven was incredible! Can't wait to go back and conquer those green lines & advance to the blue!
Granby Ranch is a small but fun ski resort with a laid-back vibe. The lifts are definitely on the slower side, but the upside is that the lines are never too bad, so you still get plenty of runs in. It’s a great spot for families, beginners, or anyone looking for a more relaxed day on the mountain without the crowds or high prices of the bigger resorts. If you’re staying in Winter Park, it’s just a short drive away and totally worth it especially for night skiing, which is a rare find in Colorado. Not the most extreme terrain, but a solid mountain with beautiful views and a great atmosphere.
We love Granby Ranch! An easy drive up from Denver. The kids absolutely loved the ski school and the instructors. I hate writing this review because then more people will find out about our hidden gem! We do truly love it. The entire staff is so nice and the mountain is so family friendly! Having fewer people than the big mountains makes it easier to ski with littles without as many worries. To top things off, the valley is absolutely gorgeous and you have killer views from either chair and coming down most of the mountain as well.
I wish there was a hotel at the bottom of the mountain, but love that you can park close to the base and not worry about shuttles or anything like that.
This is not an expert terrain mountain by any means, but perfect for families!
Loved this place. Slightly less touristy than Winter Park where I went last year which was nice. Small town homey feel.
Weather got bad and the roads were treacherous so recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle for sure.
Definitely coming back here. Would have gladly stayed if I had a remote job !!
Friend and I rode DH at Granby Ranch today. Trails were great for early season and the staff really smashed the button on customer service. Anthony and Tom in the bike shop ROCK !
Took the Littles up first week of Jan to ride snow and you CANNOT find a more family-friendly place . From the parking to the lifts, it just cannot be beat. The other resorts are so over crowded. Granby Ranch feels like a private country club in comparison .

The first colorado ski resort to check off my list; I spent two days here and it was awesome. My snowboarding instructors Casey and Philip are amazing. 10/10 thanks for everything, guys! 💙
If you're a beginner snowboarder, request them for sure.
Check in and rental process was quick and easy. Good atmosphere and terrain was well groomed. Beginner friendly runs, as well as challenging ones. Lift attendants were helpful. Not too busy and no long lines on a tues-thurs. Love the tail-gate vibes and music.
Lastly, if you go to the restaurant, order the Hot Apple Pie. You're welcome.

Fantastic and has the best spring skiing around considering how late they stay open! Might be the only place around, but it presents fully open as if it’s the middle of season. Friendly and helpful staff, easy parking and shuttle, quick access to restrooms, food options, and almost a beach like atmosphere at this stage of the year!! (May-June). Reduced pricing too- can’t beat great skiing, short lines, low traffic!
It's a great place to ski. The ski area opens in late fall all the way to early summer. Great view at the mountain top and good live music at the base. Parking is limited because many people will be there. Go there early to get parking closer to the lift.
Great mountain for skiing or riding. Good people good vibes. Lots of special events throughout the year with music and shenanigans. Ropes course and plenty of hiking and biking trails for summer activities
We had a great time visiting A-basin in late May- after Memorial Day! So excited they were still open. 🎿 The rental shop was great- personalized service by Nick & Rebekah. They set us up with some great gear to use. 🎿 It’s been a while since we’ve skied, we loved the convenience of keeping our lift ticket in our pocket, vs the old skool tags that were scanned at the lift. Great prices, no crowds & free parking for Spring!!!
Legendary for a reason! Was able to snowboard here in June and October. I really like that there isn’t a resort type of vibe here. Just people that come to enjoy the sport.
Skiing here over Memorial Day weekend is an amazing experience. The two open lodges serve food that surpasses the quality of most other ski resorts, adding to the enjoyment of the trip. Even in late May, the snow remains in excellent condition, making for a fantastic ride down the slopes.
One thing to keep in mind: ski lifts may shut down for 30 minutes after a lightning strike. If the weather is unforgiving, you could end up waiting half the day with your boots on. But beyond that, there's little to complain about when visiting the only ski resort still open at the end of May.
Went two years ago. Will go back hopefully soon. Had a great time on the mountain, but the prices definitely sting if you’re buying day tickets. Passes and multi-day deals are the only way to make it feel reasonable. The vibe is more laid-back compared to the bigger resorts, which I really liked.
Just keep in mind there aren’t any hotels right at the base. We stayed about 15 minutes away, and there are plenty of options in the nearby towns. It takes a little extra planning, but it also keeps things feeling less crowded and more authentic.

Amazing ski resort. Coming from a greenhorn, the mountain and everyone on it were very accommodating and kind. Many paths to take. After hitting the bunny slope with the kids, I got the courage to hit the greens. Very forgiving and wide. I can not wait to return, improve, explore, and take in the beautiful surroundings. The staff was super friendly, talented, and educational. The lifts were fantastic and plentiful. After our long day, we took advantage of the lodge. Lots of food items, atmosphere, and IPA's.

I returned home today and I really didn't want to leave that paradise. It's a mixture of fun, tranquility and overwhelming scenery. The route through the mountain is challenging for those who don't know the place but are worth every minute in it. The people who work in this place are formidable . . and if they want to have a good, tasty breakfast, visit (Steep Brewing and Coffee!!!.
Keystone Resort in Colorado is the perfect destination for a Christmas or New Year vacation! The atmosphere is absolutely amazing, filled with holiday spirit and breathtaking mountain views. The ski trails are beautifully maintained and offer something for every level, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced skier. The vibe here is festive and welcoming, making it the ideal spot to celebrate the holidays with family and friends. Between the gorgeous snowy scenery, fun activities, and top-notch skiing, Keystone truly delivers a magical winter getaway. Highly recommend!
This was my first visit to a bike park, and I LOVED it! Great green trails for skill practice and a few fun blues to finish the day. All the staff we interacted with were so friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back!
Went on a pre-season sunday. No lines, but the only open piste (schoolarm) was crowded.
The chairlifts, gondolas and bars are well equipped.
Being a intermediate, I had loads of fun on 3ish mile run. Highly recommend if you have an epic pass, otherwise I wouldn't pay full day price for pre-season times
Well it’s been about 5 years since I did some downhill biking at Keystone and I can say without a doubt, it’s an absolute blast! All the changes and improvements have made this place a killer park!!
Great for family’s. Has everything you need. I would give it five stars, but there’s a lot of other resorts in Colorado. I would pick over Keystone.!
For early season skiing, with zero natural snow, they did a great job of covering Schoolmarm. Little icy, lots of idiots going too fast, but still a great day.

We stayed at the springs resort when we were visiting the Rocky Mountain National Park. Rooms might seem dated, however it was comfortable and clean.
The highlight was the 20 hot springs were hot and comfortable. The springs and pools were not too crowded during our stay in the summer. The springs were still very comfortable since the weather was quite cold.
They offer basic grab to go breakfast and oatmeal and coffee in the morning. There isn’t much businesses in town. However, the grill next to the resort offers excellent burgers and Mac and cheese!

The natural mineral hot springs were exactly what we needed—peaceful, relaxing, and rejuvenating. The pools are naturally heated and vary in temperature, so you can pick your perfect soak spot.
The resort has a charming, laid-back vibe—nothing overly fancy, but that’s part of what makes it so wonderful. It’s cozy, quiet, and surrounded by Colorado beauty. Our room was simple but adorable and just steps away from the steamy springs.
We didn’t take many photos because we were too busy relaxing—and that says it all. If you’re looking for a peaceful, no-frills, soak-the-road-dust-off kind of stop, this is it. We left feeling like melted butter. 🧈💛
Would absolutely come back again!
Soul rejuvenating. We came for the day and didn't stay at the resort. Loved the magnesium pools, the lower private overlook and the waterfall pool. The drive there was also super beautiful and only a 2 hour jaunt from Denver. All in all they had about 18 pools of different sizes & temperatures. Plenty of choices for private soaking. Going to make this a monthly stop on my wellness routine.
Is this place the fanciest? No. Is it modernized? No. If you want this experience, go to Iron Mountain in Glenwood Springs.
This place is legit. As natural and real as it gets when it comes to hot springs. 30 bucks is a steal to stay for as long as you want. We almost didn’t come because of some super negative reviews we saw online. Ignore those. Will definitely be returning!
So the people were nice. So my issue is the pools. The pictures on google don’t say the size of pools. These pools are small. Anyways just for y’all to know the pools are small. Nice scenery. Thirty dollars each. Not updated buildings either. Little expensive but it’s for the experience too.
Hidden Gem, and so affordable ! My very favorite hot springs in CO. The property is absolutely gorgeous it’s like walking around in a fairytale, so many tubs to choose from. The minerals in the water make my skin so soft and the smell isn’t bad at all. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, definitely worth the stop if you’re near WP!!
Pools 10/10, mineral content of hot springs 10/10, variety of pools 10/10. The waters here are amazing, my 2nd favorite in the state behind TSR in Pagosa Springs. However I don’t think I could do more than 1 night here because the town isn’t really a town, only 1 liquor store and 1 food option unless you drive to Granby. And not a ton of hikes close to the hotel unless you go towards Steamboat and Grand Lake. The rooms are totally fine but as others mentioned they’re pretty outdated. Nonetheless a great spot and hot spring off the beaten path that everyone should check out, just don’t expect any amenities in town!
Can only comment on the springs, but omg. Wish I could move here, it's so good for my muscles and skin. People seem pretty nice. Wish they had memberships of some kind so I could afford to come all the time! The sulphur makes the springs pretty stinky, but I've never been to a hot springs that didn't smell. There are a number of pools, and several of them get higher than 105! Highly recommend.

I truly cannot express enough how amazing this experience was. Coming in the off season (late October), we decided to go horseback riding to make up for no snow activities. I would almost say this was better! It was an extremely laid back experience and completely worth every penny. Our guide Luke was awesome, and it’s always nice when you can tell people love their jobs. He made us feel comfortable as inexperienced riders and promoted spacing out throughout the ride as opposed to nose-to-tail. Our horses Daisy and Fairplay were very smart and well-behaved. The scenery was stunning, and we even got some snow during the ride. We did the 2 hour ride and highly recommend. We’re so happy we chose to do this activity on our trip, and will happily return next time we come back to CO. Thank you guys at ASR!
We had a wonderful experience recently at American Safari Ranch. The facilities themselves are rustic and what one would expect at a horse ranch (not a dude ranch!) The horses were well trained and well matched to us. Luke and Billy, our guides, were very experienced and patient and made the 90 minute ride extremely enjoyable. Being able to ride side by side as opposed to nose to tail made the ride even better. We highly recommend American Safari Ranch!
We decided to spend our last day in FairPlay at American safari ranch and we were not disappointed! We booked a morning horseback ride that was beautiful and the staff was friendly and extremely helpful. We came back later in the day for an atv tour which was also amazing, I had never driven an atv but the tour guide showed me the ropes and I was good to go! Another helpful and friendly group of guides, I would highly recommend this place!
Went on a 2 hour ride with Billy as our guide! He was helpful, personable, and overall wonderful. And the trails were so fun to explore, even though we missed most of the changing leaves; the aspen groves were still so pretty. This was my first time here and I so hope I can come back! Thanks to the team there that makes it happen and takes care of the horses. Bonanza (aka Turtle) was stubborn but we got along like apple pie by the end :)
The horses are absolutely behaved and exceptional, the guides are always friendly and helpful, the views are stunning horseback up in the free range mountain, and the prices are the best I have ever seen. Just go! ❤️
I took my 8 yo daughter here for basically her first ride. They care about children and help boost their confidence and love for horses. Very kid friendly! Would give it 10 starts if I could!
Last time I was here we had Giselle as our guide (who was awesome!!) but this time we had Billy and he was great! He would tell us fun facts, tell us we were doing great and made it fun to be out on the trail. After we rode, we asked if we could stick around to pet the horses for a bit and they didn’t mind at all! Very lovely place, definitely want to come back!
We visited in late October, our guide was Billy the Kid. He did an excellent job of helping us learn to control the horses as well as safety.As well as explaining the area from dangers to what to look for. He was also nice enough to take some take pictures for us.(Harder than you think to take a picture while riding a horse)The Ranch is beautiful to say the least. Going up and down the peaks and through the Ash trees. Absolutely recommend.

Breckenridge Ski Resort
Mentioned on
Ski resort
Nature & Parks
Breckenridge Ski Resort is a full-service recreational facility offering ski lessons, rentals, and terrain parks. The resort features on-site lodging with ski services, concierge, and activities desk. Guests can enjoy fully furnished accommodations with full kitchens and mountain views. The property also boasts indoor and outdoor pools as well as outdoor hot tubs for relaxation. In addition to skiing, the area provides access to trails for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and fat biking.
I visited Breckenridge Ski Resort in late April and early May, during the second-to-last week of the season. At that time, only Peak 6 and Peak 7 were open—unfortunately, Peaks 8 through 10 were already closed, which was a bit disappointing. 😕 However, because it was the end of the season, the slopes were pleasantly uncrowded and peaceful. ⛷️
One day during my stay, it snowed about 2 inches, which made for great conditions! Except for the last day (when the snow was a bit slushy), the weather and snow quality were excellent. According to the forecast, they were expecting 6 more inches of snow the following week—snowing in May is pretty wild! ❄️🌨️
Most of the chairlifts on Peak 6 and Peak 7 had footrests, which made the ride up much more comfortable—no need to keep holding up your board the whole time. 👍
The staff were also incredibly friendly. One of them even lent me his personal screwdriver when I couldn’t find the right tool to tighten my snowboard bindings. 🛠️ Really appreciated that kind gesture!
Usually, parking 🅿️ at the resort isn’t free—weekday or weekend, you have to pay. But during Locals Appreciation Month in May, parking was free, which was a nice bonus! Breckenridge also offers a free shuttle bus around town. It runs about every 30 minutes and, while not super frequent, it’s still a convenient option if you don’t want to deal with parking.
Overall, despite some terrain being closed, it was a great late-season experience. I’d love to come back earlier in the season to explore more of the mountain! 🏔️

Fun for all ages; cold on top of the mountain, a light garment is advisable. Gondolas are free to hop in and out, coaster was great. A place for families with dogs, young and old alike. Love it!
We took the gondola up to Breckenridge Ski Resort — it’s the third stop — and when you get out, even in summer, there’s plenty to do. You can ride the mountain slide, play mini golf, or check out a few other fun activities. There’s a nice outside restaurant and bar area where you can relax, and I loved that they had big chess set up too.
Being up there was gorgeous — the mountain views are amazing. If you want to go even higher, you can take a chairlift up to the very top. I really enjoyed the whole experience. It’s a great spot to spend time in the summer, not just winter.
Favorite place to take the family skiing!!
The double black diamond trains are the best with breathtaking views.
Even during holiday weekends, this resort does not feel crowded at all.
Highly suggest getting an epic pass and pre-purchase your lift tickets
Trails are very well groomed, and average snowfall Here is perfect.
It's our first time in Breckenridge (my husband and I) and we're in love! We're definitely coming back. We don't ski, and we like to travel off season. We're here in the fall and loving every minute of it. There's so much to see and so many places to visit and drive through, it's never a dull moment. You don't want to drive anywhere? You can always hike the slopes and enjoy the views from up above. It reminds me of my childhood spent hiking in the Carpathian mountains. If you have a chance to come here even off season, take it. You won't regret it.
Fun summer day on the mountain, plenty to do for all ages. The gravity coaster is a blast as was the slide. Taking the chair lift to the top, and back down, gives you awesome views of the mountains and the valley.
Fun activities, alpine slides and alpine roller coasters, along with some other stuff like bungee trampolines. The alpine slides were very fun but the waits made them almost not worth it. And it was very expensive. Expect at least ~$100 dollars unless you only want to go on one ride (which would be ~$45) We also skipped lunch because of the crappy food that was also incredibly expensive, so bring your own.
So overall:
•Rides (Alpine slides specifically) - 5 stars
•Waits - 3 stars (An hour sometimes)
•Food - 1 star, didn’t even eat, too expensive for what they offered
Personally I would’ve gone on a beautiful hike for free but it was still a great day.
We loved this place, I can't help but to be honest that the people at the front desk are super friendly, but the maid service and workers doing renovations are not. Not 1 of them. My suspicion tells me it's because of their ethnicity and aren't treated fairly or equally. The resort itself is pretty beautiful with great amenities. My only advice would be....don't forget the people on the front lines.

South Park City Museum

Open air museum
Sights & Landmarks
South Park City Museum is a historic 1880s Gold Rush town turned museum, boasting over 40 buildings and 60,000 artifacts. Originally created in the 1950s to preserve old mining ghost towns in Park County, it offers a glimpse into the past with its recreated mining town featuring furnished historic buildings and old equipment. The museum stands as a living monument to days gone by, accurately restored and preserved to showcase the everyday life of that era.
I thought we would be in and out of this place within an hour and ended up staying about 3 hours when we should have been driving home. So much history and so much to see. It's definitely worth a stop! My wife FaceTimed her sister and showed her parts of it. There are over 30 buildings to explore complete with furnishings from the time period. Some buildings are original and some were moved from other local areas. There's a miniature mine, full steam train, all different types of wagons, just so many neat things to look at.

This museum was a real treat, and the ticket price was totally worth it! Seriously, they have a little bit of everything, which is super cool. It's like stepping back in time; the atmosphere really makes you feel like you're in the 1800s. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a fun and educational day out! You won't regret it.
Awesome! Must see! This is by far the most amazing representation of the old West, 1850 to 1880, I have ever seen. Extremely good price for admittance. Attention to detail is phenomenal. The museum is interactive, you can actually touch/ interact with some of the objects, go upstairs in some of these old dwellings. It really gives you the feeling of what it was like to live in 1850. And how horrible it must’ve been for these individuals to survive. How lucky we are to be where we are now. Not sure where you’re coming from, I would not want to live here. But this is an awesome reminder of a difficult and not so silver lined past.
"A delightful surprise! Even if you aren't a big fan going in, you'll be charmed. It's the cutest museum I've ever visited, packed with so many unique collectibles that make the visit worthwhile. Plus, they have a fantastic gift shop where you can pick up a souvenir or gift."
We loved this place! So much history to see and experience, it was fantastic getting to walk thru all the old historic buildings and see all the amazing antiques and artifacts. We were rushing a bit but still had a great time and got to see everything we wanted. Would definitely recommend a stop here when you’re in the area!
We came upon this on our way home. What a great museum. The 44 buildings and all of the history in this place was amazing. The great collection of time period correct pieces was unbelievable. Definitely worth a visit
Open between mid-May and mid-October located on old main street Fairplay. Hands down the best open air museum! Take the opportunity to stop by and soak it all in. They do allow fur babies, just keep them on a short leash. Do allow a solid couple of hours and when wrapped up, stop by and support the other local shops.
Beautifully kept and such history! It was wonderful to step back in time. The route is clear to follow. All the buildings are so well kept and dust free!

Rusty Spurr Ranch
Mentioned on
Horseback riding service
Outdoor Activities
Nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Colorado, Rusty Spurr Ranch offers an unforgettable experience for both novice and seasoned riders. The journey to the ranch from Breckenridge is a visual feast, showcasing stunning views that set the stage for your adventure. With knowledgeable wranglers like John guiding you through two-hour trail rides, you'll find yourself immersed in nature while riding gentle horses across picturesque terrain.
I cannot say enough great things about my experience with the Rusty Spurr Ranch. From the beginning, we were greeted with warmth and friendliness. It's clear that the owners care for and respect their horses as living beings and see them as more than just money earners. Specifically they limit how many days a week and hours each day the horses are ridden and the owners retire and keep most of the horses when the time comes.
Bailey, our guide, was great! She was encouraging and attentive without being controlling. The open ranging style of the ride (opposed to nose-to-tail) allowed for us to have more individualized rides and was really fun. The landscape ranges from open lands, to hill tops, to beautiful alpine forests. Our 2 hour ride was the right amount of time for our group - we got to see a lot without legs getting stiff.
Recommend dressing in light layers as there is elevation climb so it was breezy but not hot (in late May). Long pants that can brush against bushes without rips are ideal.
Worth the drive and money!!
Danielle K — Google review
A wonderful experience! 🐎 Riding across 10,000 acres of open space with breathtaking views - freely, without having to follow the horse in front. We were able to simply ride, practice the turns, and enjoy the scenery, the horse, and the company of other riders. We were lucky to have amazing weather, which was a bonus. The small group and our knowledgeable, engaging guide made it even better. A truly unforgettable two-hour ride. I want to go back already 😆 It’s a bit of a drive from Breck/Keystone, but totally worth it. Highly recommended!
5/5 for Rusty Spurr Ranch!! Absolutely worth the easy, beautiful drive from Breckenridge. Our 2 hour trail ride was nothing short of amazing - from the beautiful scenery to the well-taken-care-of (sweet and gentle!) horses, to the “free range” riding, all the way to the experienced guide, we loved our experience. We were even offered the chance to watch the herd be released for their days off, nothing like seeing nearly 50 horses run for fun! Couldn’t recommend this ranch more, we will be back!
What an unreal experience! We drove to the ranch from Breckenridge and the ride to the ranch itself was jaw dropping. My husband has never really rode before and John, our wrangler, could not have been a better teacher. He was not only so helpful, but he was full of great information and an overall joy to be around. The property itself is STUNNING and the views of the surrounding area were unbelievable. We always look for “ethical” adventures when traveling and this place is definitely that. It is great to see how well cared for and healthy the horses are, and their way of life on this ranch is hard to beat. 10/10 experience and we will be back!
Do not sleep on Rusty Spurr Ranch when you are in this area! The most beautiful and well done trail ride I have ever been on! This group of folks at Rusty Spurr loves and takes care of their horses and ranch, and it shows! Our guide, Jean, was so friendly and knowledgeable with our group and all of the horses. The 2 hour trail ride was the perfect way to see the mountains, and we were able to explore and do more than your head to rear trail ride. The views, pictures, and moments were beyond breathtaking, and we are so happy we made this part of our trip!
Wow. Not only is this place absolutely beautiful with mountains all around you, but the service and the horses are incredible! I did a 2-hour trail ride with my fairly inexperienced mom one day, and then I came back the next day for the cattle drive. Both were amazing in such different ways.
If you want a more relaxed, sight seeing experience: trail ride.
If you want a more active/adventurous experience: cattle drive. You’ll get more out of the cattle drive if you have riding experience and are comfortable on horse back; moving side to side quickly at times and going up and down hills quickly at times. It might be a bit much for a beginner, but definitely doable. And they encourage you to not do anything you’re not comfortable with!
Highly recommend. Can’t stress that enough. I’ve got horses at home, but riding in the mountains and moving cattle was new for me and SO worth the money and sore butt lol!
I can’t begin to describe what an incredible experience I had today at Rusty Spurr Ranch!
I went on a cattle drive with Han as our guide. He was awesome. So knowledgeable and patient. And really taught us how to drive cattle.
For me, this was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. This is the real deal. 10/10 would recommend.
This was our second ride with the ranch and wonderful again! If you are looking for a ride that is NOT head to tail, then this is your place. Connie was knowledgeable, very kind and made sure everyone was safe and comfortable. We were treated with a bear sighting up on the mountainside.

Copper Mountain is a sprawling ski resort with an impressive 140 downhill trails and a network of 16 miles of cross-country routes. Offering stunning views and a variety of terrains suitable for all levels, the resort has something for everyone. Visitors can also enjoy an alpine slide as well as ice skating, shopping and dining options. Although some skiers may find the tree runs challenging due to their tight design, Copper Mountain provides a great skiing experience overall.
This place is stunning. We travel here each year for snow skiing. The mountain is great for families. All of the green runs are on one side and blacks on the other, with the blues in the middle. It’s nice to know your kids won’t make a wrong turn and go from a green to a black! There are also many very experienced skiers and snowboarders here for all of the jumps and “terrain park” areas. Center village has a ton of nice restaurants, ski shops and even a pond for ice skating.

Copper mountain is so beautiful in the summer time! Rising up the chairlift was incredible and the view from the top is breathtaking (literally). We went on the haleluya walking trail and it so nice! It’s a great summer visit for the whole family ❤️
The mountain terrain happen to be very organized starting from the west side (beginner) to the center (intermediate) to east side (advanced). The village is big with so many food spots and stores to explore. They have a demo center at the base, which is super convenient if you want to try out gear, you just rent and take 10 steps to the American eagle lift.
The mountain is pretty massive and most skiable areas on the front side are accessible by lifts. The lifts are pretty new.
The cliff dwellings tucked into the canyon walls are incredible. Seeing where the Ancestral Puebloans built their homes more than 700 years ago gives you chills. The ranger-led tours let you climb ladders into some of the dwellings, and it’s worth it for the experience. History doesn’t get more hands-on than this.
Ski there a few days ago, beautiful weather and snow. Their green and blue trails are wide and long, very suitable for carving. Went during midweek so literally no lift line. Parked in the Alpine lot - one of the two free parking spots. There are shuttle buses running from the free lots to all villages.
Copper Mountain is a combination of great terrain, good service and a type of clientele above many others. It’s a bit of a “locals” resort feel with great appeal beyond its vicinity.
My son and I have had some of the best times there. From the challenging bowls and seemingly unending mogul runs, to the smooth yet interesting groomers, to the terrain park(s) to play catching some air.
By all means, a great resort in the heart of the Rockies.
Copper mountains, a wonderful mountain to go to definitely family orientated. Lots of great runs. Friendly staff and very modernized way of getting through the lines. They have a wonderful lift with a canopy that comes down. The chairs are comfortable and yet the blue canopy that comes over you keeps you warm. They have lockers to put your stuff in, they have weekly and daily rents on the lockers. Great downtown atmosphere at the bottom of the run.
We went in the summer for their free lift Friday. The parking is free, the lift is free, the hiking is free. There were great views and hiking from the top of the mountain. The new Aerie building is beautiful, but I wish it had more outdoor seating on the downhill side to enjoy the views of the village, valley, and mountain. I July 2024 they were still working on some of the new outdoor landscaping g and features where the old building used to sit, but it is still very nice.
It was cool to see they still had two skiing/snowboarding areas and several people were working g on tricks. The village area itself was nice with multiple shops that were not overly priced as much as some of the other ski-towns. Of the 3 ski areas we visited, Copper was our favorite.

The setting is serene, with lovely pathways, water features, and mountain views all around. It’s a great place to stroll, take photos, or just sit and enjoy the natural beauty. The gardens are very well-maintained, and the staff and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable.
There is also a small visitor center where you can learn more about alpine ecosystems and conservation efforts. Whether you are into plants or just looking for a peaceful break from the hustle of the village, this is a must-visit spot in Vail and it’s free!

Peaceful quiet park and alpine garden. There is a cool gift shop near the amphitheater. Bathroom is available in visitor center and kids playground. We really enjoy the nice stroll through the garden and it was raining for a bit so we sat by the garden bench and meditated till it stopped.
Spectacular gardens, free and open to the public, dogs allowed if on leash. We visit these gardens every year and bring a picnic lunch. There is a park next to the Gardens with picnic tables. Also, a very informative visitor center and cute gift shop in a historic school house
While I didn't come at the best time of year for blooms there were plenty to see and the colors of the trees made up for it. The variety of plants here is stunning and the information is really nice I always learn something when I come here. Mostly just being in amongst the trees and plants and the sound of running water in the various ponds and waterfalls throughout the garden are so soothing and relaxing it really is beautiful. If you have any stress or worries what a wonderful place to come and they just wash away.
Beautiful gardens! Nice place to enjoy a relaxing walk. Good for adults, kids and dogs. Picnic facilities and large playground. Plenty of parking and accessible by bus.
One of the most peaceful and beautiful parks in the country. There was endless fun for the kids - we basically had to pull them away after many hours there. It’s a must visit for young kids in Vail.
The Garden was beautiful but the tour was not what I anticipated. I typically look for interesting information or tidbits that I could not have learned otherwise from a knowledgeable guide. The tidbits we did get were things that were not particularly interesting or helpful to except for you can snowshoe in winter.
Beautiful gardens and amazing flower varieties. It is free to enter the garden. The nearby parking lot costs $2 an hour so if you can park somewhere else try to.

This is a pretty cool thing to do. It takes about two and a half hours but you get to go on a nice train ride and the announcer is very well informed on everything about the town and surrounding areas. The seats are pretty comfortable which is nice. The staff on the train was very friendly and willing to help with anything you needed. You learn a lot of factual things on the strain right also. Lots of very cool scenery on this trip
Recently enjoyed a train ride on a sunny October day to celebrate our 21st anniversary (we rode it on our honeymoon). This adventure is worth every penny, but bring your coat and gloves! We highly encourage the upgrade to a lounge car in chilly weather but be sure to check out the concession care even though you have an attendant. Great photos and other surprises to explore. The bathrooms are an adventure unto themselves, so be prepared for a rustic experience in that part of the train.
We had an amazing time on the Leadville Railroad with friends. The views were stunning, the warm coach seats were perfect for the chilly October weather, and the full glass windows made the scenery easy to enjoy. They serve food to your table, and the standing area adds extra fun. A truly unforgettable experience!
This train is absolutely amazing! As a plus size person I highly recommend! The isles between the seats are really wide the door and the stairs to get in and out of the cars are also nice and wide. We took our two dogs with us and appreciate the fact that dogs are allowed to enjoy such a fun activity! The pretzels 🥨 are super good as well! The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable! I can not say enough good things about this train!! 🚂
The train ride was a great experience with absolutely breathtaking views the entire way. It was easy to find, and the free parking made everything even more convenient. The food on the train was definitely a plus and added to the overall enjoyment. The only downside was that I didn’t receive an actual train ticket like the others did, which was a bit disappointing. Other than that, it was a fun and memorable ride!
Taking this historic train ride is amazing for many perspectives. From the terrain you cover to the views you see all while getting a historic narrative from our Conductor Lanora. Lanora made the journey so interesting as she added so many historic details to what we were looking at. From mining for gold to Doc Holiday to geological facts her story telling ability is unmatched. Want to learn about Leadville and the surrounding area all while riding a train in the mountains of Colorado, then this is where you want to be.
One of the best railroad experiences in Colorado!
We rode the train this week (last week of August) and the Aspens are already beginning to change, if you're reading this and planning the fall tour, y'all are in for treat! The drive to Leadville from Denver is around 2 hours but beautiful the entire way, the town of Leadville is really really cool, not all blown up and commercialized like Golden. Beautiful brick buildings etc.
Anyway, back to the train... Best views are facing away from the station (left side). The covered car with windows can be a bit loud from rattling. If it's not raining (it rained before we boarded and dang you wouldn't believe how fast the crew worked to dry seats!), sit in the outside car or the covered car with no windows. Beautiful views and history the entire way. On the way down try and get closer to the engine...the diesel gets caught in the last car going downhill and it's a bit rough. Regardless, the staff is great and friendly and of all the railroads we did this one definitely has a special spot.
We look forward to returning some day.

Very informative ! This is a great place to learn about the history of mining in Leadville, State of Colorado and the entire United States. There is a lot of information for gold mining to coal mining and everything in between if your in Leadville and have an hour or so and want to check out the museum you won’t be disappointed. This is in the old school house we were told.
Such a neat place. You could easily spend a few hours here learning about history of the area and interacting w/displays. Staff is super friendly and happy to tell you anything you need to know about Leadville area.
As a descendant of an immigrant miner and also Baby Doe on my husband's side, the museum held a lot of significance. The interactive exhibits were very realistic. You can spend a few hours here and learn quite a bit.
Awesome old School Building turning into a Mining Museum and Hall of Fame. Lots of cool mining facts and artifacts to see. There's an awesome Miniature room, and several immersive walk through rooms that transport you under the earth. Also didn't trigger my Claustrophobia at all.
Just a perfect museum. Either a willingness one comes away with such an incredible treasure of new knowledge. Highly recommended.
Awesome place to visit! Really cool dioramas depicting life in a mining town. Walk through faux mines. Really affordable!
Very cool museum! Great for mining enthusiasts, but also a great intro to the history of Leadville and mountain Colorado.

I attended a conference at this resort during the month of June. They had plenty of activities and shopping available at the resort. I really liked the options of food and activities.
I could see where this would be a good destination during the winter time for skiing as well.

Beautiful gondola ride and scenic views from the top. I am not sure if It is year round or not but they have 5 person chairs and gondola cars running on the same lift. We had beautiful weather so we rode up on the open air chairs for the best view. I recommend that... weather permitting of course.
We loved our week long stay. Our son had great ski school lessons with Sean in level 5. Truly a magical place. Exceptional skiing as well as an incredibly beautiful setting. We can’t wait to return.
We just went to see Beaver Creek Resort for the first time. We walked around the Village. Very quaint, but a little expensive. I thoroughly enjoyed the art gallery, especially the whimsical photography. My favorite was the cowboy playing golf with a putter in one hand and a rifle in the other. His caddie was a buffalo with the bag of clubs slung over its back. It started to rain, so we ducked into Citrea for brunch. What a lucky break! Again, a little expensive, but very tasty. I recommend the French toast with berries, real maple syrup, and a scoop of maple ice cream. (I did gain three pounds over the weekend.)
Beaver Creek is a really nice, fancy, and luxurious place to ski or snowboard. The resort feels upscale from the moment you arrive beautiful lodges, heated walkways, great service, and a super polished vibe. The terrain is fun and well-groomed, and the whole experience is top-notch.
That said, I personally prefer Vail over Beaver Creek. Nothing compares to the back bowls in Vail they’re absolutely legendary and Vail can actually be more affordable, especially when comparing lodging and lift ticket options.
Beaver Creek is still an amazing resort, perfect if you enjoy a quieter, more luxurious mountain experience. But if I had to pick one… Vail wins for me every time.
Beaver Creek Resort is truly amazing any time of year! The beauty of the area is breathtaking, and we absolutely love the charm of the town and the village. In the summer, the hiking is fantastic with scenic trails, and in the fall, the vibrant leaves are a stunning backdrop. Winter skiing here with our family is always a highlight. It’s such a family-friendly resort with something for everyone to enjoy. The Red Buffalo Express is our favorite spot to ski as a family, offering awesome and varied terrain. Plus, you can’t beat the fresh baked chocolate chip cookies they hand out daily at 3 PM—such a fun touch!
1 of top 10 ski resorts in the world!
Beaver Creek is a great Ski resort with slopes for everyone and no lines as the lifts are fast, it also has an incredible village full of choices of shopping, restaurants and bars. It’s was a surprise to find lifts closing at 3pm as I’m used the 4pm close times…
Beano’s Cabin is a great visit for great creative food while skiing, Chase is an awesome server and GM Ben runs a great ski restaurant.
Check out the chicken pot pie
Beaver Creek Ski Resort is the epitome of luxury and family-friendly skiing. From the moment you arrive, the attention to detail is exceptional, making every guest feel special. The slopes cater to all skill levels, from perfectly groomed beginner runs to challenging expert trails like Birds of Prey. Even during peak times, lift lines are minimal, ensuring more time on the mountain.
The resort’s charm lies in its thoughtful touches. Daily “Cookie Time” at 3 p.m., where warm, fresh cookies are handed out, is a delightful highlight. The ski school is phenomenal, with patient instructors who build confidence and skills, making it perfect for families and beginners. The village is enchanting, with heated walkways, boutique shops, and cozy accommodations all within easy reach of the lifts.
Mountain dining is top-notch, offering gourmet meals in picturesque settings. The après-ski scene is relaxed yet sophisticated, ideal for unwinding by a fire or enjoying fine dining. Service throughout the resort is unmatched, with friendly staff who go above and beyond.
Beaver Creek offers a seamless blend of world-class skiing, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s an unforgettable destination for anyone seeking a perfect winter getaway. I can’t wait to return!

Had an amazing time at Zip Adventures. The guides were very professional and personable. The Zip lines are so much fun and of course the "Plunge" is a must do, total adrenaline rush and a blast at the same time. This is the best Zip Line tour I have ever been on (and I have been on a lot of them)

What an unforgettable experience! I wasn’t quite sure what to expect going in, but our guide Simon was incredibly helpful, informative, and made me feel completely safe and confident throughout the adventure. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much—our guides were absolutely hilarious and brought so much energy to the day. The zip line course itself was thrilling and so much fun from start to finish. I highly recommend this experience and will definitely be coming back for more!
We had the best time! I was very nervous and the guides were so friendly and encouraging! Jonathan and another guy, I sure wish we remembered his name! The photographer was so sweet too and the girl at the front desk. The waters and the snack and the places to rest along the way were an added touch! We felt very safe, but got that thrilling rush! We would definitely do it again!
Had an awesome time on the zip lining course! The course itself was beautiful, fun, and well maintained (thankful for the water and snacks along the way). Our guides, Simon and another (wish I remembered his name!), were awesome!—funny, patient, professional, encouraging. They helped make the experience smooth and enjoyable. Overall, a super fun time and one I’d definitely recommend!
Had such a fun time here with my daughters ages 11 and 15! Guides were entertaining, safe and knowledgeable. We had an A+ experience from start to finish, check in was smooth and easy, we played corn hole while waiting for the rest of the group to show up and then were treated to a ride in a really cool vintage military vehicle out to the zip line canyon. All of the zips were fun, they kind of start easy to hard. Views were incredible, they gave us plenty of cold water and snacks along the way. Definitely do the canyon drop, soooo fun, really gets the heart rate up haha! I highly recommend this, we can't wait to come back! A must do on any trip to Vail!
We had a great time ziplining here! 🏞️ The views were amazing while riding, and the guides made it a breeze! Our family felt very safe the entire time! #adventure #familytime
Really fun experience for a networking event I attended. The guides were friendly, offered facts about the area, and made jokes along the way. You get to drive to the course in some old historic military vehicles too that adds to the experience. They had snacks and water throughout the course too.
This trip was absolutely amazing! We were welcomed by the manager Eric and he gave us a run down of everything and invited us to explore the ranch (beautiful ranch btw). Then we played yard games and soon after our guides, Simon and Dustin got us ready for the adventure. I gotta say this guys really rock, they were entertaining, enthusiastic and overall they just made our day. The adventure includes a surprise that I promised not to spoil for others but I am definitely looking forward to do this again. Well done guys, me and my friends loved it.

A Beautiful Tribute to a Musical Legend
What an absolutely magical experience! The John Denver Sanctuary in Aspen is a hidden gem that captures the heart and soul of one of Colorado’s most beloved artists. Walking through this peaceful sanctuary feels like stepping into John’s world - each engraved stone tells a piece of his story through his own words, lyrics, and reflections.
The setting is breathtaking, perfectly positioned along the Roaring Fork River with the stunning Aspen landscape as a backdrop. It’s exactly the kind of place John would have loved - serene, natural, and inspiring. Reading his memories carved into the stones while surrounded by the mountains and nature he sang about so beautifully gave me chills.
The sanctuary is thoughtfully designed, allowing visitors to meander at their own pace and really absorb the words and music that meant so much to him. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering his legacy, this place offers a deeply moving experience. I found myself humming “Rocky Mountain High” as I walked the peaceful paths.
This is more than just a memorial - it’s a celebration of an artist who truly understood the beauty of Colorado and shared that love with the world. A must-visit for anyone in Aspen who appreciates music, nature, or simply wants a moment of reflection in a truly special place.
Highly recommend taking your time here and bringing a camera - the combination of meaningful words and natural beauty makes for an unforgettable visit.
Beautiful place. We had trouble finding the actual walk. There was a homeless guy sleeping in some trees by the river tho. But we had a short wander, cruised an old bridge, saw some art, said we would come back next visit.
I loved this place. Went there several times during my stay in Aspen. It is so well manicured and beautiful in the morning and sunset. I took a million pictures and became John Denver fan!
Very nice way to honor John Denver. The sanctuary is well thought out and a tribute to his love of nature. The rock garden can be emotional with the lyrics of some of his most popular songs on them. Parking can be a challenge. There were games going on in the adjacent park, so had to park down the street.
The John Denver Sanctuary is pure magic. Peaceful paths, inspiring words carved into stone, and an atmosphere that feels like shooting hoops up in the sky ⛹🏼 Everything here is serene, uplifting, and unforgettable.
Even in light rain this place is beautiful and Free.
Footing can be a little tricky when wandering. Not really wheelchair friendly.
As a John Denver fan, I figured I would love this place, but it exceeded expectations. The flowing water and manicured grounds provided by this little sanctuary are incredibly well conceived. The fall colors during peak week made the garden pop. Highly recommended during the first week of October for anyone looking to breathe in some peace and serenity, not just those who appreciate Denver's songwriting. Insightful quotes and beautiful scenery are a perfect way to reflect, regardless of your taste in music.

Maroon Bells is a must-see destination with iconic mountain peaks towering over 14,000 feet. Accessible via a shuttle bus, the scenic viewing area offers breathtaking views of rugged mountains, babbling streams, and fields of wildflowers surrounding turquoise blue lakes. Even a leisurely stroll around Maroon Lake, just 5 minutes from the parking lot, provides stunning vistas and opportunities to spot wildlife. For those seeking a short but rewarding hike, the approximately 3.
It is soooo worth the hike to Crater Lake! The trail is super rocky, good hiking shoes are a MUST but you will NOT regret the reward at the end. Reservations for the shuttle are easily made online and I highly recommend the shuttle.

Majestic and Family-Friendly Spot!
Maroon Bells is a truly majestic place with breathtaking views, scenic walking trails, clean restrooms, and picnic tables. It’s family and pet friendly; accessible for everyone. The main trail is suitable for walkers, wheelchairs, and strollers.
If you have a handicap tag or plate, you’re allowed to drive up to the entrance and purchase a vehicle pass without needing a reservation. You can go up at any time of the day — no advance booking is required for vehicles with handicap tags or plates.
For all other visitors, you must make a reservation in advance with a specific time slot. If you buy a shuttle ticket for a certain time and arrive late, you’ll need to wait in line and board a later bus only if there’s space available. Parking is paid and collected upon arrival. If you wish to drive your own car, make sure to arrive before 8:00 AM — after that, access to the mountain is only allowed via the shuttle bus.
Hope this helps anyone planning to visit!
We very much enjoyed the Maroon Bells - stunning views, the shuttles were great to get us there and back. Would definitely return again.
Great hike to Crater Lake. Try to get there early with the shuttle. It a moderate hike with some elevation a lot of boulders and rocks but it's worth while. It's like walking on the moon
A very beautiful place — definitely a must-visit! I recommend buying a parking ticket on the website in advance, as same-day tickets might be sold out.
Also, photos and videos are allowed after 5 PM.
If you want the sunlight on the mountain (not behind it), come in the first half of the day.
Maroon Bells is widely celebrated for its breathtaking scenery, tranquil atmosphere, and the variety of accessible hiking trails suitable for all skill levels. Visitors regularly describe it as “absolutely stunning,” “awe-inspiring,” and “one of the loveliest places on earth” due to the uninterrupted views of towering snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear Maroon Lake, lush aspen forests, and vibrant wildflowers throughout different seasons.
Reviews emphasize the well-marked and maintained trails, including the easy scenic loop for families and those with mobility issues, with more challenging routes leading to Crater Lake for adventurous hikers.
Wildlife spotting—including mule deer, moose, foxes, and beavers—is common beside serene lakes and meadows, enhancing the experience even further.
While the area itself receives five-star ratings for natural beauty, visitors express concerns over increasing shuttle and parking costs, and the need to plan ahead for entry passes, bus rides, and arrival times due to recent crowd management measures.
Despite the logistical hurdles, most reviewers agree the unique landscape, dramatic views, and peaceful ambiance make Maroon Bells a must-see destination in Colorado, especially during summer and fall
We were able to visit in mid October and took the help of the shuttle bus and it was a blessing in disguise. Crowd was less and was more enjoyable.
We arrived at Aspen Highlands where we parked the car and took a bus ride that took about 20 minutes to the site. There are several easy trails around the lake and also the option of more difficult treks. We traveled in June and the conditions were pleasant, a light jacket was enough. It is worth reserving a place in advance for parking or transportation.
I love it! It's an easy round trail. If you would like a more challenging hike, you could take the trail to Crater Lake. Before going, people should buy round-trip shuttle tickets online. Remember the last bus of the day.
