The authors guide readers through a nifty circular tour which begins in Denver, makes a swing through the mountains and ends in Colorado Springs. Along the way, readers will enjoy scenic drives, interesting museums, historic buildings, standing on top of a mountain, going deep into a gold mine, riding a narrow-gauge railroad, hiking part of the Colorado Trail, exploring a ghost town, driving across the Royal Gorge Bridge, a chuckwagon dinner and Western show, strolling around an alpine lake and through the Garden of the Gods, watching a Victorian melodrama, and learning about mining, wildlife, trees, fossils, Colorado history and mountain ecosystems.
The authors share plenty of options on where to go, what to do, and where to eat and sleep--including shorter tours if readers don’t have seven days. Everything is pre-tested to ensure reader enjoyment. This is the only resource that’s needed; but the book points to other helpful information.
