When I said I'd write this up on Yelp, she said her name was Mary. She met us at the flagpole outside of Union Station right on time. One of our party was late and therefore we got a little late start. Once on the road, we got a little history of Denver in general. Informative. We stopped along the way in St. Vrain. Small town. We stopped at a general store for a potty break and of course to purchase. It smelled delicious in there. Sausage, baked goods, etc. Once in the park we had lunch. Turkey sandwiches from the Farmers Market. Good eats. We drove to different spots in the park. Fall colors at the end of their peak, but still gorgeous. We saw many elk. It's rutting time and it was interesting to watch the males steal the women from each other. The elk 'bugle' is kind of neat and creepy. Returning to Denver we were taken through Boulder. Quite the bustling city. It was a great time. Michelle had her iPod filled with various playlists. Most enjoyable. Thanks, Michelle. 10/06/21 Today we tour the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. Our tour guide is Jim, a really laid back and just all around cool guy. We are being transported in a Mercedes Sprinter. Very nice and roomy. We travel through Colorado Springs, see the city and the Air Force academy. The first stop is the garden. Beautiful oxides formations of all shapes and sizes. The fun part was watching a family climb one of these large rocks. Actually, it looked like dad teaching the two kids and mom snapping pics. The kids were no older than 5-8 years old, but they were climbing little monkeys. It was mom making me nervous as she backed up to take the pics. Didn't want to see her topple over the edge. From here we go to Pikes Peak. What a difference in scenery and temperature. The garden was warm at about 75, while the peak was about 38. At the top there is a cafe where you can purchase drinks, food and the best thing of all - daily baked cake doughnuts. Cinnamon sugar or chocolate glazed. 'Chocolate glazed' doesn't do them justice. The icing is thick fudge-like and just awesome. When we checked in at the entrance gate, the ranger said we wouldn't be able to go to the top because of pending weather. But when we got to the point she said we could not go beyond, there was nothing to stop us so we went to the top and doughnuts. Yea!! But mother cold and windy, making the temp feel even colder. But beautiful views. Of course the obligatory souvenir shop is attached to the cafe. Ha, ha. Fun, fun. Jim got us to the top!

One of the most memorable memories that we made in the Mile High City was the excursion to the…read morenearby Two Mile High Country. This review shares our four star experience on the Gray Line Rocky Mountain National Park tour. It was a tour where $125 paid for a million dollar experience. The duration of the tour was ten hours of my life that added at least a year to my life. When it comes to seeing Rocky Mountain National Park this tour literally rises above it all in height. We would reach a height of 12,183 feet above sea love. The tour uses the Grand Circle route of seeing the park. From Denver, we ascended Interstate 70 westbound into the Rocky Mountains. We followed US 40 northbound over the Continental Divide where a right turn onto US 34 brought us into the park. Trail Ridge Road led us to the high summits in Rocky Mountain National Park. We exited the park at the Fall River Visitor Center where US 34 and 36 brought us through Boulder then ultimately southwest into Denver. The adventure began at 8:30 when the tour bus picked us up near the hotel. It would stop at a couple of more hotels before taking us to the ticket center in the Cherry Creek Mall. After paying the $125 we returned to the bus. Normally I am close-dephobic on a bus. This luxury bus was anything but uncomfortable. It felt like I was in a first-class airplane. The bus even had a restroom. Exploring the Colorado countryside from the luxury bus benefitted the experience. Darcy controlled the bus and the tour. He is a knowledgeable tour guide and safe driver. His narrative told the story of the rolling Aspin forests, mountain summits, ski lounge hamlets alongside US 40, and landscapes with the pages of the tour. Using the analogy that the tour is a book each stop was the start of the chapter. Here are the stops, the chapters of the tour in chronological order: *Downieville Truck Stop off I-70: Home of the 5 Cent coffee and a hydration/ snack stop. *Berthold Pass: Where US 40 transverses the Continental Divide. *Shadow Mountain Lake: One of the northernmost Colorado River reservoirs. *Buffet lunch in the Grand Lake Lounge. *Photo spot at the Rocky Mountain National Park sign. *Fairview Curve (in the park): Overlooks near the headwaters of the Colorado River. *Millner Pass (in the park): Where Trail Ridge Road crosses the Continental Divide. *Alpine Visitor Center (45 minutes): The Alpine Ridge Trail reaches the 11,796 feet high tundra. *Lava Cliffs (in the park) *Rainbow Curve (in the park) *Fall River Visitor Center: In Estes Park. *Bonus stop: A photo opportunity of an elk grazing near the Fall River Visitor Center. In the near future, I will be reviewing some of these stops where I spent time. These reviews will provide deeper insight with pictures. In regards to this review proper, I appreciated that Darcy made the additional stops when he spotted the elk, moose, and big horn sheep. I further appreciated when he took the time to hand us the park maps when we entered the national park. It is important to bring up a couple of other things. The tour included the park admission. And the buffet lunch was unexpectedly good. The tour concluded with Darcy dropping us off at our hotel around 6:30 pm. He had been our tour guide for a ten hour tour that added at least a year to my life.

Darcy, our driver for the tour itself, was a font of information, full of dry humor. Could not have asked for a better driver. Very competent behind the wheel (I guess over 30 years of military service gives you a cool, competent temperament). He made some unscheduled stops when he noticed wildlife, so the group could get some cool pics. Lunch was included, buffet style at a resort just outside Rocky Mountain National Park. Very tasty. All in all, well worth the $120 per person price tag.

What a unique experience. Our daughter signed us up for this tour before we came out to visit and…read moreit was a highly anticipated event. Having tied our munchies on at the local Blue Moon Brewery (lunch) we made our way to a very non-descript warehouse location and started checking in for our tour. With medicinal and recreational marijuana being legal here for years now, these folks gather people together for a friendly tour of a few of the dispensaries and one of the indoor grow rooms (farms). Weed ranches? There truly is quite a science behind all of this. We were given very clear rules, do's and don'ts for the tour. Once we boarded the bus, there were two lights - one red and one green. Apparently there are times when you can and cannot smoke weed in the back of the bus. Our guide, King Kala being a very petite lady with quite an outsize personality made the tour very memorable. During the times the green light was on, various smokes were passed around for those who were to partake. Yours truly was a spectator with all of the reason in the world to get a contact high from my co-easy riders in those close quarters. There was actually lots of room. 9 were in our van, which could accommodate 12 so it wasn't really so close. The rear view was a projected image of the traffic following us. There was no tobacco allowed on the bus. If one wanted an actual tobacco cigarette, it had to be done when the bus was stopped and of course, outside. A lot of explaining went on and then there were bags of chips and cookies passed around as well as bottled water. "One must stay hydrated." So we visited two different dispensaries and everyone was afforded the opportunity to check out everything for sale. And I do mean everything. Well, except tobacco. The tour inside the dispensaries was also guided by our very own King Kala who showed and explained the growing rooms and the different processes used to identify the medicinal from the recreational "product". The entire thing lasted a few hours and the trips to, from and between stops was just as cool as the stops themselves. People from all over the country. For more, you're just gonna have to check em out yourself, although I could go into quite a bit more detail. Enjoy your day!

Other lowlights were listening to the guide drone on and on about his life and opinions, pulling over THREE times as one lady thought she maybe saw some wildlife waaaayyy in the distant woods, and spending much too long in a small town where half the stores were closed so the gondola opters could have their unscheduled fun and the tour company could grab a few extra dollars.

We made several stops along the way, and every single one had amazing views. We even got to see some wildlife: bighorn rams, elk, and a fox! Aaron was great about pulling over so everyone could grab photos whenever we spotted something cool.
