We had a group of 11 people and got to drive two sixers on a super fun adventure. Roger was great with making sure we had a fun and safe trip up and back, and even took extra care with our younger bunch. All the adults got a chance to drive and it was such a thrill! We made the 1.5 hour journey from our vacation home in CO Springs, and let me tell you... it was totally worth it. If you're looking for a scenic adventure with fun facts about the history of the land, go with PDAT, you will not be disappointed!

I spent the day in Canon City and was so glad that I decided to check out this trail! I absolutely…read moreloved walking it! Only wish I could've spent more time on it. I had to turn around because of an injury to one of my toes. I ended up walking a long distance but could've walked further if it hadn't been for my toe. Make sure that you bring water while walking the trail. Wear sunscreen and a good hat as well. I enjoyed the length of the trail and the view of the river while walking it. It was wonderful seeing fellow trail walkers as well! I love how the trailhead starts out paved and how you must walk a while up a winding incline. This trailhead is also sort of "off the beaten path" as well. I like that aspect of it as well. I'm planning on returning here again to walk more of the trail. I will definitely bring my Camelbak on my next trek. I also recommend wearing hiking shoes on this trail. Once you pass the initial winding incline, which isn't that long, this trail is completely flat. I'm recommending hiking shoes because the trail is dirt and small rocks. If you're ever in Canon City, check out this trail. You will probably like it or perhaps fall in love with it, like I have. Also, there are public restrooms at the bottom of the trailhead and there is plenty of parking nearby. The parking isn't a paved lot or lined spaces. There is just plenty of area to park at. Enjoy your visit here!

I took a group of 9 people to Music Meadows. Absolutely fantastic. Elin Parker Ganschow is a…read morefantastic guide and teacher. She custom tailored the ride to my kids' more advanced riding abilities, so I'm sure she can do the same for your group. She's a bit more expensive than the other ranch near Westcliffe (Bear Basin), but very worth it. Bear Basin would only do "nose to tail" rides where you're stuck in a line the whole time. Elin at Music Meadows encouraged our group to get to know our assigned horse, get them to do what we wanted and explore the open country. (I'm sure you can do regular trail rides in a line as well). Great variety of terrain on a huge, 3800 acre working cattle ranch. A mixture of open grasslands, rolling sage hillsides, aspen groves, water crossings and amazing views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. Also, each rider was given a very nice Music Meadows aluminum water bottle for the ride, and got to keep them afterwards (probably supposed to be a secret bonus at the end, so shhhhhh!). Music Meadows is home of "Sangres Best" grass-finished beef, and you can buy some on site to take home. Since I was already covering a ride for 9 people, we just bought some all-beef bratwurst and franks, and they were delicious. She also let us sample some of their new beef jerky, which only had a small handful of entirely pronounceable ingredients. Elin also gave us a tour of the cute (and surprisingly big) cottage on the ranch. It's beautifully decorated and can be rented out. It looks like it could sleep quite a few people. I've been on plenty of trail rides throughout Colorado, and Music Meadows is top notch. Hats off to Elin for working tirelessly to carry on Colorado's rich western heritage. The ranch is protected under a conservation easement through San Isabel Land Trust that ensures it remains in its natural state for generations to come. Dang it. I'm gushing. Give these guys a try. You'll be glad you did.

Nicole was so easy to work with and talk to when I was planning the trip. We were unable to do a full day of riding so the ladies were very accommodating and we rode from 9am - 12:30/1pm. This was the first time anyone in the group had the freedom to direct their horse where to go and to trot. We had all only been horse back riding when you ride in a single file line which is... fine. This was SO much better!! They give you a lot of training before you ride so you feel comfortable directing the horse on your own. 5/5 stars definitely recommend! The ladies were also fun to talk to while riding! And the kitties at the barn were cute.

Amazing Experience My first time skydiving and it was…read moreincredible. Signing all the waivers and the scary warning signs didn't put me off. The staff were incredibly helpful and enthusiastic. Lots of emphasis on safety. This was a tandem jump which was a good thing. I was enjoying the free fall so much I would probably have forgotten to pull the rip cord. They have a photographer jump with you, Rusty had done more than 7,000 jumps and took some great pictures and video which you can purchase after viewing on the ground. The small plane is packed with other skydivers and takes you up to 12,000ft above the ground, so a long way down! Jumping out the plane is not scary, the ground is so far away it doesn't seem real, and this is from someone who is afraid of heights!!! Aerin had no problem getting me out the plane, he took care of stabilizing us as we somersaulted out of the plane. I can honestly say I didn't feel scared at all, the staff were brilliant and engendered a sense of confidence. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat.

There are a few different ways to summit this beautiful 14er 10 minutes from the town of Crestone…read more I did the standard route from Challenger. I hiked from the parking lot up to Willow lake, up to challenger and then made my way. You'll do a bit of ridge walking and descend 100-200 ft to a clearing and the along kit Carson avenue. It's hard to miss and the trail is defined but make sure you stay on trail because a fall could be fatal. I actually diverged slightly from the traditional trail and took a short cut up "the crack" just after kit Carson avenue. They're both class 3, but this way is more fun and avoids scree. From there, it's an easy summit! Not much scrambling required and you'll be rewarded with stunning views of the crestones, humbolt peak and mount Adam's, as well as company from friendly marmots! To descend the standard route, go back to challenger and down the way you came. Round trip in one push from the parking lot for both peaks was 16 miles and over 7K elevation with class 3 scrambling and exposure. It was a beautiful and amazing adventure. I'd recommend this hike but be comfortable with the skills required.
