I will definitely be reaching out to them the next time I am in the area. Super friendly and helpful.

Something is clearly wrong with this operation, at least at the moment. I had a similar experience…read moreto the previous customer, the one who never got a rental confirmation, but worse. My first interactions with this shop (through a man named Mark, who I believe is the owner) were extremely pleasant, informative, and auspicious. This too was more than a month ahead of the rental. Mark promised to send a confirmation the next day, but it never came. When I called to follow up a week or two later, Mark said he typically doesn't send confirmations until a couple of weeks before the rental. (To be fair, he never asked for payment, so at least I wasn't getting scammed.) But still, this was a strange and highly unusual policy, which made me uncomfortable the more I thought about it. So a few days later I reached out, politely insisting on getting sent a written confirmation. No one answered. Over the course of a week, I left several messages, both by text and phone, to both Mark's office number and his cell phone. Never heard a word. I'm guessing Mark rented the vehicle to someone else, who perhaps wanted a longer-term rental, offered more money, who knows. In any case, I did not want to risk showing up to find no car available, so I rented somewhere else. Too bad. This shop's prices are good, and their jeeps are probably in good condition. Like the previous reviewer, I hope they fix their customer service.

This is my 2nd trip on Amtrak going from Glenwood Springs to Denver. The train arrived on time. The…read moreGlenwood Springs station is still the original building from June 1904. Beautiful wood accents with old style wooden bench seats in the waiting area. The station is handicap accessible with a elevator. But I did not see handicap or wheelchair passengers. I had no issues when the conductor scanned my QR code from the Amtrak app. The conductor gave me a seat tag in coach. I entered car 610, found my seat and waited. The train left on time. One of the advantages of coach is you do not have stay in your designated seat. You can walk around visiting the observation car, the Cafe on the lower level of the same car or when the dining car is open for breakfast or lunch you can show up to be seated. Dinner is more likely to be a private table and requires reservations. They accept cash, card or tap-to-pay in both the Cafe and the dining car. Passengers who book roomettes or private bedrooms get all meals included in the dining car. The Cafe is open more often with snacks, light meals, soft drinks and alcohol. Because they are going thru the mountains with tight curves and at least 38 tunnels speed is reduced. There was a straight section between Kremmling and Granby when the train was probably going 60mph. The trip had 2 stops before Denver. Granby for ticketed passengers only and Fraser-Winter Park where anyone can get off the train for fresh air or a smoke break. Winter Park resort offers a shuttle bus to the ski area.

There's something romantic about traveling by train-perhaps because most of us Americans only…read moreexperience that when we travel internationally or when we watch a movie. It's been on my bucket list to ride the Amtrak train and I recently had the opportunity to do so. The station in Glenwood Springs is just what you'd hope to see-wooden benches, overhead fans, musty air inside. This one even has some old-timey decorations that take you back in time. When your train arrives, the conductor will come inside and invite you to board. It's a fairly casual process-nothing as stressful as commercial flying. Some things to note about Amtrak in general: * The trains are often late-download the app to monitor it's status-that is usually pretty accurate * The roomettes are tiny, but private. If you want to sleep in peace without anyone around you, it's a worthy expense. * While they say that ID is required, I was never asked to show any. * There is no wifi on the train. Spotty cell service, depending on where you travel. Bring a book. All aboard!

The gentleman working behind the counter offhandedly told me some spots where people were getting in and out and then commence to tell me that we should not be fishing it as it's too hot to only fish it in the morning. As I was only stopping to find out where they're putting in and taking out, I did not need an education on when to fishing and how hot the water is as I practice safe practices when I'm Fishing anyways I would have purchased some flies and was actually looking at a new net. I do try and spend money at local businesses, but I will be spending my money elsewhere moving forward. Do not stop at this fly shop.

Ami's Acres - Glamping-adjacent with good vibes and surprise mirrors…read more This spot has everything you need to camp comfortably--and maybe a few things you don't expect, like giant bathroom mirrors big enough to check your aura. (Which is hilarious, because I left my makeup and vanity at home with my dignity. Just here to wash my face and vibe with the trees, thanks.) Ladies' bathroom: surprisingly solid. Two toilets, two shower stalls with hooks galore (finally, somewhere to hang the 57 things I bring into a shower). A bench for your stuff = chef's kiss. Double sink setup outside the stalls is a bonus. I didn't expect to have better lighting here than in my actual house. Campsite: long, shaded, and solar panel-friendly. No picnic table, which I did pout about for 30 seconds until I realized I never sit at them anyway. Full hook-ups for those of us who like our nature with a side of electricity. ‍ Staff was great--we got a friendly check-in call around 10am and were offered a personal site tour near Tractor Supply (iconic). Husband backed us in like a pro, no stress. Gold star to him. No individual fire pits at RV sites, which we get--it's dry enough to ignite a marshmallow by looking at it wrong. Communal pits by the office if you're feeling social or want to channel your inner cowboy. There are some long-term residents, which wasn't an issue, but might be nice to have visitors grouped separately--just for the ambiance. Birds and nature sounds = A+. Trains and road noise = present, but meh. By the time we hit the sack, we're toast anyway. Camping sleep hits different.

We went mid-February for a ski weekend with friends; unfortunately the snow was pretty abysmal…read more(very low snow base) but the resort itself was fun! We got the Monarch pass this year, which allows us three days at Sunlight. The mountain is pretty small, only 3 lifts I think, but it's a nice small-town family vibe. The prices are great too - $99 for weekend lift pass and something like $49 for weekday? Some of the runs were very skied out though and we had to be cautious of rocks/trees popping out - they did a good job with caution signs to alert for obstacles on the trails. There was a small lodge at the base with food and drinks which was very affordable as ski resorts go - $5 fry basket and $8 beers on draft! Would do another weekend here.

Visited with family who are late beginner to early intermediate skiers…read more First, a description of the resort. This is a small resort only 3 lifts. We arrived on a big snow day, and there were lines at the lifts. However, I have been to more crowded resorts in California where I live, so I thought the lines were ok. They moved fast but the lifts stopped often because of people falling off at the start or end. And about the lift, they move fast at the start and end. So be ready. They can be challenging for beginners. Hold on tight because they do swing you around quite violently at the start and I almost slipped off because there was a sheet of ice on the first lift we took and the swinging was quite vigorous. I disliked them a lot. The snow was great. There aren't that many green runs but the greens were fun with varied terrain, which were a good challenge. We did one of the blue runs which was pretty challenging for my party. The green runs had really great views especially those from the top of the mountain. We didn't have lessons but we saw many people lined up for lessons. We stayed for 2 days. But if we had stayed for 3 we might have gotten bored due to the limited number of green runs. Only one restaurant, so bring your own food if you don't want to wait to order, then wait for your food. There are lockers available which you rent via a kiosk. There's a QR code but it doesn't work. They are quite expensive: $10 for a small one that fits one backpack and $15 for a large on that fits 2 backpacks. We fit 5 winter/hiking boots in them, with space to spare for water bottles, sweaters, beanies etc. We saw lots of folks leave their stuff under benches, along the walls too. I think the restroom situation was fine as well. Didn't have to wait that long for restrooms. In fact, most of the time I didn't have to wait. There is a restroom right at the top of the mountain too. If you want skis, you can rent them at the resort, or at their shop in downtown Glenwood Springs. We opted to rent from the shop in downtown. There will be a separate review on the ski rental from their shop. Second, about getting there. You can drive. Or, you can take the shuttle which leaves from selected hotels in the area. As well as from the downtown Sunlight Ski and Bike Shop location at 8:30 and they will do more runs if there are more people needing it. Pick up is at 2:30 and 4:30 but they will add another one at 3:30 if it is a busy day. There's space for your skis and boots and poles etc. The shuttle drivers are amazing. They dropped us off at our hotel even though it's not "on the scheduled list". But they can pretty much pick you up and drop you off anywhere in and around Glenwood Springs. For this season they are free but they are working to get a system which you use your ski tickets to tap in from. Forget about Uber/Lyft. They don't exist here. And the only other taxi operator is apparently very expensive. Much better way to get up the mountain than driving after a snowstorm. We saw a car flipped over on the way up... If you do drive, there is a shuttle that takes people to the lower parking lot so you don't have to trek down. We had a great time at Sunlight Mountain. It may not have the most modern amenities nor the best runs, but the people were really friendly and helpful and it's not a complicated resort. The other plus is the ski shuttle which really made it much more convenient to get around with our skis. While I note that skiing is an expensive activity, Sunlight Mountain has really good pricing. Even better than my local California resorts and the snow is better. But due to the limited number of green runs and older ski lifts, I took one star off.
