Colorado Tours & Trips
Imagine Colorado's imposing national parks, the Garden of the Gods' red rocks near Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak Cog Railway up to the summit, and Mesa Verde's incredible cliff dwellings. Rafting through Glenwood Canyon is something else, go hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park with elk everywhere, and enjoy everything Denver has to offer.

Visiting the National Parks of Colorado on a Southwest Adventure Tour was super. We take a Southwest Adventure Tour every year, and they are all wonderful. This time I even white-water rafted ... and enjoyed it! For this tour, every place our outstanding guide, Sarah, took us to, maybe it had been raining or foggy; we arrived and it was miraculously fine. We were really fortunate: with the lovely weather; with a knowledgeable, careful, caring and fun guide – who, incidentally, picked superlative restaurants and sandwich shops for our meals and picnics (e.g., the wonderful Blue Water Bakery in Grand Lake, CO); and with a friendly tour group. On our last tour day a foot of snow was forecast in the Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park, but it turned out that the precipitation didn’t start up until after dark so we even got to climb to Adams Falls (in the clear, warm morning sun) and to see Longs Peak (from a blustery, clouded overlook near that 14,259-ft Peak around 2:30 p.m.) before heading on to Denver and our flights home the following day.

A well organised tour, with great coverage (for a non-USA person). Heather's background details, and little quizzes, helped me enjoy the tour greatly. Driver Richard was very good and gave us no concern as regards safety - and he joined in the ambience of the group
