Absolutely incredible and wonderful jeep tour experience! Breathtaking scenery and unforgettable moments. Upon arriving Sam treated our group like long lost friends. Could not recommend highly enough and cannot wait to return!

Couldn’t recommend this company enough. As soon as you drive up, “ you’re part of the family.” Our guide Jerry was knowledgeable in every aspect. The owners Sam and Dustin are two of the nicest people you’ll meet. Thanks again for a wonderful trip and experience P.S. Sam has beautiful wood burning artwork in the inn at raspberry ridge 😎

Sam was friendly and informative. She got us booked last minute and met us ahead of our tour to ensure we were well prepared. Our tour guide, Jerry, was a pleasure. Not only is he an accomplished outdoorsman, he was the perfect mix of corny jokes + local history + personal anecdotes. We felt totally safe with him behind the wheel and thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him for the day. Both Sam and Jerry frequently offered to take photos of our group and checked to make sure everyone was comfortable. If you are in the Marble area, this is a must do!

Crystal river Jeep tours is hands down the best money spent on an adventure. Don’t hesitate to book with Sam , all her staff are so delightful and a joy to ride with . Let them take the stress and anxiety of this intense 4x4 trail and just relax and take a ride with them . The crystal mill is ICONIC and a must see, the history is fascinating. Memories made with crystal rivers jeep tours .

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Definitely the BEST way to visit the Crystal Mill! Marble Jeep Tours returned my call after hours and accommodated my family for a tour the next day. We were so grateful and had a blast! Sam (the owner) was so helpful and great to work with and Colton our tour guide was fantastic! Our boys (ages 12 & 6) loved it and my husband enjoyed not having to drive and enjoying the scenery. Thank you Marble Jeep Tours!!

I went into the jeep tour with my boyfriend and best friend a little nervous but the anxiety quickly faded as our tour guide, Jerry, talked us through everything and provided both a good history of the town and prime scenic shots. He kept us informed if there was a tricky section coming up and I felt totally comfortable to look around and enjoy the amazing views and experience. It was his birthday, which he chose to work because he loves his job that much, so we all sang happy birthday on the summit, in the snow, and then started our way down. On the way down we saw some beautiful waterfalls. Jerry also helped pick the perfect place for lunch, which turned out to be the perfect spot for my boyfriend to propose! Needless to say, Jerry will be getting Christmas cards and postcards and everything in between for years to come - he truly is a gem and the tour was spectacular because of him.

This was an amazing way to see part of the Crystal Mill, Elk Mountains and surrounding wilderness that many don't see. Elle was an amazing guide and made the experience so enjoyable. Highly recommend when visiting the Carbondale/Aspen/Crested Butte area.

I had an incredible experience at this mountain resort! The snowboarding conditions were perfect, with well-maintained slopes and plenty of variety for all skill levels. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the overall experience even better. The resort’s facilities, including equipment rentals and après-ski options, were top-notch. Definitely a must-visit spot for any snowboarding enthusiast. I’ll be coming back for sure!

They only rent out the 4th floor & there is NO elevator! Plus, it's 2 flights of stairs to the bedrooms upstairs! I counted 88 stairs from my bedroom to the parking lot! I had a total knee replacement a few months ago & was barely able to survive 3 days here. My aunt who is a senior also had a difficult time. I would NOT recommend this place unless you are fit. Also noted is the fire station has put a ban on the livingroom fireplace & our TV upstairs wouldn't even turn on.

Crested Butte is absolutely beautiful one of the most stunning ski towns in Colorado. The mountain itself is known for being steep, deep, and challenging, which makes it an amazing destination for intermediate and advanced skiers and snowboarders. It’s definitely not the most beginner-friendly resort, but if you’re comfortable on the slopes or looking to push yourself a bit, Crested Butte is 100% worth the trip. The terrain is legendary, the views are unreal, and the whole vibe of the town is welcoming and laid back. A must-visit if you love real mountain skiing and want something a little more rugged and thrilling than the typical resort experience.

Tougher location to get to if flying into Denver. We drove through pretty nasty snow storm. Can’t say anything about the rooms or service as we stayed at a Vrbo but the mountain definitely has some tough terrain. The double blacks kicked our asses! Great ski spot. Just be cautious of the rocks. We got to see some paragliders take off which was pretty cool!

This is the 2nd year in a row we have been skiing here and we absolutely love it. The snow and slopes are very good. There is a big variety of green, blue and black level terrain. We love staying at a hotel right at the base so we can walk to everything. There is a decent amount of restaurants and bars in the area. The mountains are beautiful!

I bought an Epic pass with the intent of going all over the place and I only went here. I'm not mad about it! Crested Butte is the best and will always be the best! The fact they are now owned by Vail resorts is the only downside (screw you Vail! Treat your employees with some respect!). Despite that, they are still the best place in Colorado for resort skiing, but don't tell anyone!

The mountain and facilities are great from the start of the day. Everything took a turn for the worst at the end of the day upon arrival to the car. We parked at the main lot, and since it was our first time to CB we asked for information upon arrival to the lot. We were instructed to pay upon exit at the manned guard shack. Apparently the staff is not trained on the policy and procedures. We arrived to a $75.00 parking ticket. Upon arrival to our car, with a parking ticked, there was no staff to be found. Captive audience with no one to appeal to. Thanks a lot CB for the lack of assistance and a simple "pay me more money." I will remember this experience as I frequent many mountains and interact with many patrons. I hope you remedy this situation with your staff as too improve your guest experience moving forward.

The road to the mill is beautiful but a bit scary at times, definetly worth it though, be sure to check out the town of Crystal too ❤️

This is an epic adventure with a beautiful destination. 4x4 high clearance vehicles required. If you are going to do the entire loop do it clockwise, counter is more difficult. Lots of shelf road and very bumpy and rocky road.

This place is absolutely beautiful! We did the Jeep Tour up here and glad we did. Our Rav4 wasn't going to get up there lol. The small jeep compass that was behind us on the way back down, rode high and center, scraping the front end and undercarriage to pieces and popped a tire. Good luck getting a tow truck to come get you and not pay under 1k for it. Be smarter when attempting the drive. Getting there is one thing, coming back down is another.

Love the views nice hike amazing river . Get ready to walk 5 miles up and 5 miles down. But it’s worth it.

Easy, but long hike. Gorgeous all the way though, so definitely worth it. Driving is possible, but high clearance 4x4 is the only way

Stunning views. Just make sure you have a decent 4X4 vehicle

The rain poured for most of our four-mile trek to the Mill. Fortunately, it eased up for a quarter of an hour, and I used every second of that fifteen-minute reprieve to snap some quick photos.

Had the pleasure of working with Desiree for the group rates. The customer service was AMAZING. She was able to meet all of the needs of our group including switching ski days for some of us who became sick, sign some of us up last minute for ski schools, and refund lift tickets and rentals for some of us that got injured. Ski conditions were awesome! No lines for the lifts, rentals were very nice, trails had fluffy fresh powder. This place is a real hidden gem!

I love this place. We come back almost every year. It’s far enough away from the really big resorts that it feels like you get. Local vibe, and usually the mountain is not too crowded. Great spot for beginners or advanced, as the lifts are super easy and the mountain has lots of great trails. Absolutely recommend taking a day or two here!

Great place to ski with a family. Very affordable and close to Glenwood. We had a group of 6 kids and 4 adults and everyone enjoyed the snow. Snack bar had very good food and was cheap!!! I highly recommend the Chicago hot dog. Delicious. All the staff were so friendly and accommodating.

Locals ski mountain with ample tree terrain for those who want to adventure. Great for families. Lodge has food and beverage, feels a bit nostalgic in ways.

Best run of the season for us, myself with beginner 5 and 13 year old. This place was perfect. Long nice slopes. There weren't many people in the slopes. Beautiful views.

Sunlight is a beautiful gem! Has all the views and great CO snow but isn't crowded. The lifts are definitely a little ancient but our family had a blast at this resort. Everyone is so nice! Has runs for everyone! We stayed at the Gnarly Inn at the bottom which is an experience in itself. About 20 min from Glenwood Springs.

I give this resort 4.5 stars! It would receive 5 stars if the kids in the rental shop were a little better trained. This resort shined in other areas though! First, it's very uncrowded and has some great long runs. The lifts were not the greatest but so many times I would look ahead and behind me on a run and...I was the only one there. The staff was super friendly, from the lift attendants to the lodge cafe workers to Bill in the locker office. The food was great and reasonably priced compared to other resorts. We did not have great snow unfortunately and there were some icy patches but did I mention that I had the mountain to myself many times? I improved so much. We put a 13 year old in ski lessons the first morning and not only were they super reasonable, she graduated to blues by the second day. We visited NYE weekend. The first day we arrived at 8.30 and parked right in front of the entrance. Second day we arrived at almost 10 and had a 1 or 2 minute walk. We used our Indy passes and it was super easy. Just show them at the lift ticket window in exchange for lift tickets. Only once was the beginner lift busy. Again, the lifts could themselves could be better (my boots and skis felt like 500 pound weights without foot rests) but if you want wide open spaces to ski, this is the place!

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.

Lovely, smaller amusement park with plenty to do. Our group went during the week (Thursday) and had a blast. Line wait times were short and all the rides were exciting. The food was also pretty decent (burgers and chicken tenders - as to be expected with these locations). I highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance and paying a little extra ($10 when we went) for preferred parking. It's absolutely worth it as you can park right next to (if not very close) the gondolas that take you to the park.

Took my dad and my son here. My dad loves these rides. They’re unique because they’re hanging over the mountain, which adds a little extra thrill. It’s a great place not a lot of lines. We usually go in September October. Beautiful view from the mountain tops and the food is not that bad. The Cape tours are pretty cool too. The people that give the tour seem like they really enjoy it and are very knowledgeable about how caves work and all of the formations..

The views are stunning. The prices are reasonable. The coaster is probably one of the funnest things I’ve ever done and the cave tours are absolutely amazing if you have kids or even just if you’re an adult, the gondola ride is really fun and just the views when you come out of the caves or up top I absolutely love it here and if you’re visiting, you should check it out and do all of the rides and all of the cave tours, the guides and the tour guides are absolutely amazing extremely knowledgeable extremely funny. I absolutely love every time I come to visit going to Glenwood Springs and go to the adventure park.

Being a park and coaster enthusiast I’ve been to many parks. I had heard mostly good things about Glenwood Caverns and decided to take a day trip up there with a friend. I was thoroughly impressed with the park! The pricing felt reasonable for the attractions offered, service and staff were excellent, the atmosphere was quite nice, the food was decent, and the rides were of a good quality overall! I especially enjoyed the cave tours and 4 coasters! The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made for a fun experience inside both caves! I do wish they had a few more rides with more variety, but what they have is great!

After I got around the hiccup that was me figuring out the free parking, the GCAP was a excellent addition to my Glenwood experience. The views up there are hard to beat, and while we intitially were up there in nothing but rain and fog, when the clouds finally parted it was truly magical. It is to be noted that the adventure park is a bit limited to what younger children can do (think 10 and under) and some of the rides are a bit too high intensity for those of young age and wrangling any youngsters in caves can also be a hassle. I wasn't wrangling children myself but parents be aware. The caverns are absolutely stunning but the Fairy Cavern miiiight trigger the unknowning claustrophobic (don't find out the hard way folks) Overall - lovely experience - definitely recommend.

Yes you can drive up on Transfer Trail, up to the lot where I took these picture. Transfer Trail is a free public road. There is a separate back service only private road with restricted access to Glenwood Cavern Adventure park that is not open to the public. It is gated with no trespassing, but all other roads are free and open to the public. It is a totally free drive, mostly gravel, but no need for a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Nice place to stop, enjoy the views, enjoy your picnic lunch. If you like, you can also visit Glenwood Adventure Park, ride the Gondola up and enjoy all the park has to offer. Gate passes run from $37 to $84 per person per day. I didn't see any family friendly pricing options on their website. Enjoy.

We visited a weekday at the end of October and it was fantastic. Only one food vendor was open at this time but that’s the only downside. The rides are fantastic for adrenaline junkies and there were little to no lines. We love a good cave as well and the tours were great! Highly recommend the black light tour of fairy caves.

First time on the mountain and what a great time it was! Came out for a bachelor trip and it didn’t disappoint! The weather was warm but there were a couple nights we got snow and really brought some fresh pow onto the mountain Didn’t get to ride all the mountains but highly recommend! Will be back!

I love this ski mountain. It has a variety of runs. Amazing variety. They have all kinds of national or like world wide competitions from time to time. Mountain is huge with so many different lifts. It’d take like 30 mins to traverse from one side to the other. The blue/black runs are on the easy side. But double blacks are standard double black difficulties. Mountain is not crowded at all. There are many many food options. Even a decent proper restaurant on the top of the black run area on the bottom left. Pretty decent views. Parking lot could be hard to find unless paid parking. Then there’s public transport which people take but it’s super slow compared to driving yourself. I also love the Aspen logo cap. I bought 3 in different colors 💀 after I left. The downtown is nice too. Many boutique stores like almost anything you can think ofz Only few months to go till the next season🙂‍↕️what can I say I love this place.

Beautiful place to go with your family! It has many things to do including rental of ski and snowboard, they also offer classes until 3:30PM to teach you how to ski or snowboard, it has many restaurants to eat with your family or friends and many stores to look around for something interesting, it also has attractions for the little ones. Tamarack, it's an amazing place to stay, super clean and comfy, I recommend. Overall and amazing experience with astonishing views and a lot of fun the only bad side is that everything is overpriced so if you want to have a great experience save some money and pray to not spend more than 2000$ a day with restaurants and ski rentals.

Aspen Snowmass is hands down one of the best ski destinations our family has skied! From the breathtaking scenery to the perfectly groomed runs, every aspect of this resort exceeded our expectations. The variety of terrain makes it ideal for our families varied skill levels. The lift system is efficient, minimizing wait times even on busy days, and the staff is friendly and helpful at every turn. On-mountain dining options are fantastic, with plenty of cozy spots to warm up and enjoy a great meal. Après-ski in the village is just as magical, offering a perfect mix of lively bars, upscale restaurants, and boutique shopping. Aspen Snowmass truly has it all—world-class skiing, stunning views, and a vibrant atmosphere. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable trip!

Loved my second visit! Great trails with bars along the way, awesome music from the DJ, beautiful snow, and so much fun snowboarding. 😊

Aspen Snowmass is truly one of the best ski resorts out there! While the prices can be on the higher side, the amazing experience you get makes it all worth it. The resort takes great care of its groomed pistes, with most slopes being maintained daily to ensure you have fantastic skiing conditions. At Snowmass, you’ll find a fantastic variety of trails to suit all skill levels—whether you’re just starting or looking for a thrilling adventure on double diamond runs. One of the best things about Snowmass is the super short lift lines! This means you can spend more time enjoying the slopes and less time waiting. The spacious pistes allow for plenty of room to ski at your own pace, and the trees around help with visibility too. Plus, the staff are incredibly friendly and always ready to help, which makes for a warm and inviting atmosphere. Overall, Snowmass Mountain offers a ton of activities and experiences. In my opinion, it really outshines Aspen Mountain, giving skiers a more well-rounded and enjoyable skiing adventure!

One of my favorite place to ski and spend my winter vacation. It’s got all level Of slopes for all skier. Staff, coaches and all people in town are so super friendly and nice. The town is beautiful and clean love coming back always!

Beautiful place to visit and photograph. You have to ride the gondola, the views are spectacular. The ski patrol group was particularly helpful with our group. Such nice folks.

Fantastic skiing and fantastic vibe (and absolutely stunning) — I only warn that it is a more difficult mountain for beginners If you’re a beginner, maybe start at Snowmass or Buttermilk (which are just a brief shuttle/bus-ride away)

Aspen is one of my favorite places to ski, because of the abundance of snow and challenging terrain. Some of the best powder I have ever skied in. The snow is incredible. Only downside is the scarcity of real ski in-ski out accommodations. I recommend the Shadow Mountain condos which are truly slope side. You can ski up to the condos, within 10 feet of the door.

This is a very nice area with gorgeous views. You can see for miles. We had lunch at one of the little cafes and the food was delicious. The staff was very accommodating and the area was clean and well kept. We had an enjoyable day at the top and would love to go again.

Very nice ride to mountain top. The mountain top restaurant is a excellent place to enjoy some wine. During inclement weather the ride stops for several hours so plan accordingly.

Very nice ski resort, with helpful and friendly staff. The Gondolas were well maintained and clean. As well the ride to the top of Ajax mountain was very pleasant with the breathtaking scenery all around you. The Sundeck restaurant at the top is a great spot to warm up or take in a luncheon as you overlook the city of Aspen and all the beautiful surrounding mountains.

I'm from Kentucky. Not as much fried chicken as I would expect... But I came here to ski. The app is great. The employees are very helpful. The resort is currently respectfully of covid protocols. Much appreciated. Great lifts and diverse terrain.

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.

It wasn't as bad as thought. Even though it's a 1000 ft of climbing, the steps are spaced out at just the right amount of distance for your muscles to relax a little...I'm 150lbs and in my late 40's and completed it in 2.5 hrs including many stops for photos"

To state how beautiful the lake is, it would oversimplify how the mist from the lake gently sprays on the skin, cold air blowing after an exhausting hike many steps up. I had to wake up early to arrive there around 8 with my family. For entry, a reservation is needed to be permitted in; lucky, we were prepared with one. Before entering the trail, there was construction happening to the parking lot and parts of the trail that were blocked off. Near where the hiking trail begins, a section of the sidewalk is blocked, and we walk where barriers are connected to the other side. There are no struggles that happen at the beginning of the trail, thankfully. When hiking up, I thought it would take many minutes to get to the lake, but it was shocked when I saw the last stone staircase under 30 minutes. I am amused how the trail, known to be really rocky and loose with rumble, was a simple journey to walk through. Now, the lake itself is gorgeous to look at and take photos, but the path too has delightful details that make the journey already worth the visit. Honestly, writing a review on this location is a favor to go outside and take a break from the clutter-y week. Take care of yourself ❤️

The Hanging Lake Trail is about 2 miles long with some elevation, but it’s an easy hike thanks to the steps along the way. The lake at the end is beautiful, and the view is absolutely spectacular. We’ll definitely do it again!

Nice little hike. Very scenic at the top. Don't give up. If you can do the Manitou incline this is a piece of cake. Very rocky wear shoes with traction.

Beautiful, well maintained trail. Recommend getting permit beforehand. The steps were quite a workout but doable with lots of breaks in the shade. Bring extra water! We ran out near the top of the trail. My 10 year old with asthma made it and said it was absolutely worth it ! The lake is gorgeous, dreamy, better than expected. Absolutely worth the hike. Bring a snack to lunch at the lake before heading back down. In total took us 2.5 hours round trip moving at a reasonably slow pace.

This hike was beautiful. Trail is well maintained, and the payoff is worth the climb. I would definitely recommend hiking boots for this trail.

Awesome lake to check out! It’s a punchy little climb up but once there the mystique of the lake is worth it. We came on a weekday in October and it wasn’t too bad busy-wise. On weekend I can see this place being way too busy. Also note $12 pp entry fee.

Fantastic service! Camelot Balloons was by far the most fun I have ever had in any sort of recreation aviation! The service was superb, the staff were delightful and cheerful, Merlin was spectacular and a true flying ace, the whole experience was magical! Bring an extra $100 for the pictures and slide show because you'll be begging to get a copy from their professional photographer, Scott. Again, I can't stress enough how amazing this experience was, I would go again in a heartbeat.

We had a nice experience though we did not venture far from the take-off spot through out our entire flight - a little disappointing but likely necessary given the terrain. There was a nice post flight champagne gathering with other patrons with some fun story telling by the pilot of ballooning history and personal flight experiences.

What a great morning. My pilot Bruce was really great providing history and interesting balloon related facts. Worth every penny

This was a fun, relaxing, beautiful and unique experience. Definitely one I will never forget!

An experience of a lifetime. Beautiful views, safest inhave ever felt in the air.

Had a terrific Hot Air Balloon experience! Great service and lots of fun.

Qq

I have been trying to schedule a trip. I filled out the online form, but it wouldn't send - kept giving and error. I left a message, and they did return my call. However, I have been trying to reach someone this week with questions, and the phone line is engaged no matter when you call. The online form still isn't working. No email listed on their website. They don't appear to be on any other platform. No idea how to reach them.

Great float trip down the Roaring Fork. Paul is an experienced guide, and great teacher. Very enjoyable trip. Highly recommend CRO.

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.

One of my favorite ski resorts - we were so blessed to have a late season snow that brought amazing powder in April - absolutely love the tons in McCoy Park! They are really mellow and were covered in powder

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!

Beaver Creek is an incredible destination for both beginners and expert skiers. With a variety of trails and off-trail areas, there's always something new to explore. I've skied here all season and never got bored. Snow conditions are consistently good even better in the expert glades, with excellent grooming in the mornings. Lift lines are rarely long, and all of the resort's faces are easily accessible. The main village at Beaver Creek is smaller compared to nearby resorts, but it offers a charming, family-friendly atmosphere. It's a quiet and beautiful resort, ideal for families seeking fewer crowds and plenty of activities.

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.

Such an amazing experience! My partner and I have been snowmobiling a few times in Washington and this one was the best experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made us feel safe while giving us a really fun tour. The grounds are so beautiful. We stayed in vail and booked the PM half day and it was such a great day. Left the hotel right before noon and made it back around 6.

Our ATV guide Shane was superb! He explained everything beforehand and was very careful with us. During the stops, he described the mountain ranges and areas so we could learn more about our surroundings. He was fun, friendly, and professional. Definitely an asset to your company.

We had the best time on our 4-hour, Side by Side, self-guided tour! We were greeted by a friendly and helpful lady (unfortunately I did not catch her name) and she got us checked in quickly and fitted us with our helmets and goggles. We received a safety briefing from Nico and he gave us detailed information on the trails, which ones we could drive on and what type of trail we could expect. Some are smooth and easy and others are much rougher and rockier. My husband and I both said it was worth every penny. The views are stunning and we saw lots of deer, marmots and chipmunks. We recommend going in the morning when the animals are more active. The history of Camp Hale is interesting too. Imagining the training that the 10th Mountain Division went through while driving in their "shadows" was exciting to think about. We HIGHLY recommend the Nova Guides tour as it was one of the highlights of our entire trip.

What a wonderful experience. One warning: don't settle for two hours - go for four hours - you won't regret it. We rented the side-by-side for two hours, took a picnic lunch with us, headed to the top of the mountain, sat on the log rail and ate at the top of the world. I got to drive the entire time and wow, what fun! Speed up a little bit and enjoy the ride. I kept steering into the divots to get more excitement. What a rush! Don't skimp, don't go too slow, enjoy the ride, the scenery, and the fun. Wish we had the time to go back the next day to cover some of the trails we missed!

My wife and I had a fabulous time riding snowmobile we rented from Nova Guides! From the onset, the reservation agent provided a wealth of information regarding the snowmobiles and mountains we would be riding and made suggestions to allow us an opportunity to have a great experience. The tutorial of the snowmobile provided by the instructor was helpful as was the map to navigate the mountain. All the staff were very friendly. Needless to say, we had a wonderful time on the unguided four hour excursion. The scenery was amazing! Breathtaking! We look forward to returning and highly recommend Nova Guides snowmobile rentals!

AMAZING TIME! We did the 4 hour unaccompanied snowmobiling and it was perfect!! We were able to go at our own pace and revisit trails that had awesome views. My wife and I had a two person sled and loved the heated handle grips and the seats were super comfortable. We highly recommended this activity and this company for your next adventure!

The rental team was very helpful. The trails in good shape. Overall a very nice time on ATVs.

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 boat lake. Very nice swim beach. We walked around a tiny trail and it was beautiful.

Very clean lake and great spot for family to enjoy the swim beach and water sports. We brought paddle boards and went fishing. Very little shade on beach so get their early to grab shaded tables or bring a canopy. Showers and bathrooms nearby with campground. $10 entrance fee unless you have a state park pass. Enjoy!

Great winter camping option with hook-ups at reasonable rates not too far of a drive from ski resort. Only a few sites so be sure to book online. Vault toilet only in winter is a decent walk from campsites. No AT&T cell service.

Great State Park! Very nice staff. Totally quiet at night, too. I recommend site #92 in McKindley CG (basic) - awesome view of the lake & valley. And away from the boat crowd :-)

Pretty place and quiet. Some bugs mid September ever with cooler temps. RV spots are moderately level with notes about near full exposure. Great for solar but winds can be high. Saw a beautiful fox and lots of chipmunks, please do not discard food or feed wildlife. Lake and hillsides provide nice views as well. Water IS available despite website not indicating in the amenities list.

We love stagecoach State park. It's far enough away from steamboat to be peaceful and quiet. Butt close enough to go into town when you want to. Very close to some of the best fishing in the state. Also, very near some of the best hiking and mountain biking trails around. Most of the camp spots are well spaced out and very well laid out.

We spent 4 days here in a camper, in early August, 23. Except for the weather, things were nearly perfect. Fishing, paddleboarding, biking, are all available. There is a marina with a little store, rentals and fishing excursions are available. Cell reception was spotty (Verizon) but wifi is available at the marina store. There's also a nice beach area... perfect for kiddos. Water-skiing is possible though we didn't see any skiing during our stay. The reservoir was pretty quiet mid-week. Our campsite was Juniper 005, at the west end in the no-wake area. The sites there are more widely spaced and more private than those near the marina. Electric is available. The shore is easy to access, though fishing was difficult as you have to wade in to get past the foliage in the water. Restrooms are available, though not all were clean. Multiple picnic and day camping areas are available, and there is a group area with water access for day rental. (See pics) The campgrounds are dog friendly ❤️🐾 There's a nice dirt trail around the reservoir...we rode it on gravel bikes, and took the trail up to the overlook. The weather was decent at points during the day, but very stormy at night! When the reports call for late night thunderstorms, they mean it! It's not like the foothills or Poudre Canyon where you get a brief sprinkle. We didn't go into Steamboat Springs, but in hindsight, because of the iffy weather we wish we had.

Nice little town with LOTS of shopping and eating. If your passing the area you must stop by for a walk and explore the scenery and shop!

Lovely place to walk around! My kid loved the train and the little exhibits inside the buildings. I enjoyed the wonderfully preserved buildings and history. Love that it's free and in a great location in the cute old downtown Frisco. Highly recommended for a historic picnic stop.

Frisco's gem is a wonderful public park and historic buildings museum. Outstanding exhibits, audio assisted, well researched. A community pavilion for events. The biggest plus is that the Frisco Historic Park and Museum is free. Everyone is welcome. Especially families. Free admission allows everyone accessibility. The park is beautifully landscaped, paved side walks, and disability accessibility. The Town of Frisco, the Park and Museum staff, and volunteers shine as an outstanding example of what a small town can achieve and be proud of. 👏

I’m so glad we stopped at the Frisco Historic Park and Museum during our trip! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and walking from historic building to building was such a unique and fun way to experience the area’s history. They even make it engaging for kids with a passport book to get stamped at each building. We learned a lot about Frisco and its past—highly recommend!

Quaint Historic Town with lots of shops and good places to eat! Beautiful.

Loved the entire village. Great for all ages free for everyone. History of Frisco founders and residents from 1800s until 1940s. Loved it such a nice place to go for locals and out of town folks who want the Colorado pioneer history. Frisco is such a friendly and fun place!!!

This was a really nice museum, especially for being free! There are 9 different buildings you can walk into, which all were historic buildings, and had audio information. We spent about an hour walking around, it was really interesting and educational!

As an intimate wedding and elopement photographer, I'm always looking for new locations to share with my couples. And let me tell you, the Wedding Ceremony Overlook site at Frisco Adventure Park does not disappoint for your ceremony, especially during fall when the surrounding trees turn vibrant shades of gold. Additionally, the nearby Frisco Day Lodge offers a budget friendly reception space with all of the amenities you'd expect from a luxury venue for those looking to host a dinner after their celebration!

That was so much faster than I thought it would be!! Definitely fun for everyone of all ages. Facilities and grounds were well maintained and pretty, the staff were great too! That was seriously faster than expected though. I don’t even do baby roller coasters and that totally counts as one. Super cheap especially for how much fun and how accessible it is. Highly recommend coming here!!

Went tubing. We'd go again, very fun. $40/ person for 1 hr and we got to slide 6 times. Great activity if you want something passive vs. skiing or snowboarding. Caution: if your butt is touching the bottom of the tube you will feel some of the ridges on the slide and may get a bruise.

This city is a Hidden Gem inside of Colorado it is one of the few locations that no matter where you're at, you have a 365 ° view of the mountains on all sides. Another beautiful aspect of this city is the fact that the center of it is a beautiful Lake and there are lots of outdoor activities to do all year long The city is a hub of activity and it is not far from Denver and is a good rest stop if you want to head to Brackenridge Vale or any of the other ski resorts in the neighborhood

Great experience, first time skiing with a couple of falls but nothing major, Priced at 55$ per adult and 15$ rental for the baby carrier it’s well worth the experience , signing the waiver was not hard at all , and Front staff was very kind and helpful including the staff helping put on the equipment. Trail is about 1 / 1:30 hrs long depending on routes taken. Lots of activities for kids. Highly recommend for family and friends.

Super fun and clean. Kids and doggies had a great time:) plus it’s FREE! Like, you can’t pass that up

As a traveler on vacation (literally drove 17hrs from Texas) this place was highly recommended and has great reviews. The only downfall is that no one told us that we would have to make reservations in order to do anything. (Mine and my husbands fault for not checking) My family of 6 was so disappointed that we were not able to go tubing, skiing, or anything. My four boys did find a brightside and just played in the snow, seeing how that was our first time seeing snow. So from one visitor to another please call and make reservations for your families spot to do activities.

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.

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.

We had a fantastic time doing the Upper Colorado with Mad Adventures. We were vacationing in Granby, CO with another family. We had kids that were ages 8 to 14 with four adults in one boat. Big Ben, our boat captain was great! He made the trip so easy. He knew all the history, told us all the wild tales, and was fantastic with the kids. He also was a great guide and captain, as he knew exactly where to go to keep the kids safe, but also let them play and have a wonderful time. It was clear he had over 20 years of experience in whitewater rafting. Highly recommend the trip for kids and beginners, and ask for Ben. He Really did a wonderful job and made it a great day.

Great activity for the whole family. While staying at a local dude ranch (Drowsy Water Ranch), I went on a float trip with two of my kids (13, 10). Everyone had a great time. Tex, Sophie, and Mán were excellent guides. Highly recommended!

We had the best time ever. Our guide (mon maybe.i forget his name):was super attentive and great with the young ones 7 and 9 on board with activities ,water fights, jumping the cliffs, spinning the raft. Total fun.

Great time! Elliot was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable, fun and we felt completely safe. Highly recommend.

We had the best time with Big Ben as our guide! He was so funny & very knowledgeable of the river. We will definitely be back!

The team at Mad Adventures were great. Such a easy going, fun, and energetic team that made our trip (2 Adults/3 Kids (10, 8, 7) such a success for our girls first time white water rafting. Special shout out to Ben our guide. He ensured everyone had fun and making the girls feel safe as well. We will return.

Fabulous experience! We opted for the more mellow ride, upper river, because we were traveling with younger kids. It was the perfect level of excitement for our crew with kids ranging from 6-12. Our tour guide threw in some fun games and we all stopped to jump off a rock.

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.

This trail ride was simply amazing. We did the two hour ride with myself, my husband, and two daughters (13 and 8). I am the only one with horseback riding experience and we all did totally fine. The horses are so well behaved and know exactly what their job is. The guides are very knowledgeable, do a short demo and give instructions before the ride, and are sure to point out sights to see along the way. And oh, THE SIGHTS!! It just does not get better than this. The ride takes you through trees, open fields, up and down hills, and treats you to the most magnificent views of the Rockies. We saw everything from Aspens to the Continental Divide. Highly recommend if you are looking for a true trail ride through the beautiful Colorado mountains.

What a wonderful stable this is! My daughter and I booked a last minute trail ride and they were able to accommodate us. Dakota our trail guide was so sweet and very knowledgeable. We learned so much about Colorado nature from her. If horseback riding through the Rocky Mountains trails is on your bucket list this is the place I would recommend! Thank you Dakota and Rocky Mountain Stables for an amazing experience. We will be back for sure!

I had a great time at Rocky Mountain Stables! For a beginner the horses were all really easy to work with and remind me a lot of dogs—they may want to lead or catch up or stop and eat grass. I had the pleasure of riding T-bone who has a bit of a mind of his own but was such a sweetheart and with our guide Rachel. I think the 2hr ride was the right amount of time (for my hips/knees/butt). I wish I had the chance to come when the aspens were changing so I’d recommend riding in September or 1st week of October for some of those IG pics but we still had a beautiful ride with a little snow from the night before and some sunshine to keep us warm. It’s the perfect fall activity and apparently they do winter sleds and snow rides as well. The staff were all kind and knowledgeable and great to the horses (making sure not to overwork the older ones, managing the ones who spook easily, and giving them breaks in between rides). With my job I have to book last minute but I actually recommend doing so 1) because the weather can change a lot, 2) because they’re one of the few places you can book last minute online, and 3) if you’re traveling solo or as a couple because I lucked out with a small group (just me, our guide, and 1 couple). Overall highly recommend. Don’t forget to tip them too!

We had the pleasure of riding out with Johnny as our guide. He was super knowledgeable on the homesteads, the mountain peaks, antler scrapes and just about everything out there. He was very personable and respectful and made the ride a fantastic experience. Even though the aspens had dropped Johnny was able to take us through serval little pockets that were just clinging on. He pointed out beautiful picturesque scenes to make sure you got the best shots and even borrowed a phone to catch more photos of riders in the moment. Our horses Winter and Gus were fantastic partners and we would absolutely ride again. Overall we highly recommend riding with Rocky Mountain Stables.

I had the most incredible horseback riding experience! From start to finish; the views are immaculate, horses are beautiful, the staff are great. Johnny fed us a bunch of interesting facts about the trees and some history behind the land. I’m absolutely in love with this place and will be back for every season! I can’t wait for Christmas to take a sleigh ride!

Great to get back on a horse again! It's also great that Grand County has Rocky Mtn Stables available for horseback riding and sleigh rides. Wrangler Dakota and Travis led our group up into the hills at Snow Mtn Ranch. Was beautiful! Living here you don't always appreciate what we have out our back door! Our group was fun and the horses were perfect.

This was the perfect time to ride through the mountains and see the leaves changing. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-hr ride and our guide, Johnny, was great and took lots of photos of us during our time on the trail. My husband is new to riding and a bit nervous, but the horses were well mannered and he had no problems. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

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 .

AMAZING spot! Clean, quiet & the view is so pretty. Saw mule deer, hummingbirds, a fox & gold finches. A nature lovers dream! Camped in the Bockman campground & drove to the N Michigan lake . We will be back & for longer!

Camped at state forest state park in our 38' motorhome had plenty of room, electricity and water but no sewer. Shower house is amazing. Nice quiet place to camp will definitely be back.

If you are looking for a park with lots of great trails, views and excellent facilities, this is it! I had an amazing time camping here. All the fecilties I visited were clean and well maintained, the trails are in excellent conditions and the staff were very helpful. Of course, the views were great at every turn!

Beautiful park! Saw 4 moose on the drive. Amazing fall colors and snow all in the same trip.

This is a very odd State Park. There's graded dirt roads circling all over the place, that don't go anywhere. The RV dump station is miles away from CG. And I don't recommend sites 201 - 205... they are just wide spots on the heavily travelled main road. There's odd buildings with work trucks scattered all over by the entrance. Very odd place.

First time there....fall colors were popping! Drove to the Moose overlook and had lunch on the small deck. Little bit of everything for everyone. Yurts, cabins, campgrounds and lakes to fish, canoe in. Lots of hikes and 4wd roads to explore. Mountain ranges to admire and supposedly the best spot in Colorado to see moose. Will be back! Comparable to RMNP but less crowded! Dog friendly as well!

A beautiful state park! Visit the Moose Visitor Center where there’s free wifi. There are several campgrounds with various amenities. Ranger Lakes CG has three nice fishing lakes with well kept walking trails. Northpark CG now offers full hookups at some sights. Michigan Lake has some lakeside sights and the lake was nice to kayak on. Hike the .8 mile trail to Agnes Lake, at around 10,500’ elevation. Close by the park is the Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge with a nice visitor center and a 1/2 mile raised boardwalk with many informational signs about the area’s waterfowl. There are over 600 moose now in the area of State Forest after being introduced in the 70’s and 80’s.
