My husband and I did the waterfall ride with the guide Casey, and it was phenomenal! They did a good job of pairing each rider with a horse who was appropriate for their experience level. The horses were sure-footed and navigated the difficult terrain well. The sites along the trail were beautiful, the guide was kind and thoughtful, and you could tell he really enjoys his job. It was a great experience overall and I would absolutely recommend to anyone interested in a mountain ride. Enjoyable for beginner to experienced level riders. We will definitely be planning rides here again in the future.

Agnes Vaille Falls

Reviewed By Passport159297

Took our kids ages 8 and 9 on this hike. Beautiful views and great scenery. Kids found the length perfect and held their interest the whole time. You gain a fair amount of elevation, so adults feel they are getting a bit of a workout too. Trail was severely damaged when we went due to recent flash floods, so couldn't get as close to the falls as we would have liked - but was still amazing. In fact, made it quite interesting, seeing how the flash floods changed the surrounding landscape, brought down giant trees, and tossed large boulders around. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time at the hot springs. The combination of hot pools and river hot spots was both enjoyable and relaxing as well as fun for the kids to build damns to keep the cold water out and hot water in. Definitely recommend it!

General Store at this historic town is the center for information and snacks and memorabilia and books. Hiking trails and feeding the chipmunks from your hands is the fun and relaxing thing to do in this beautiful and quiet place of Colorado.
