Steve and Sandy go back to Silver Dollar City for Moonlight Madness. An event done every year in July and August. They extend the park hours, leaving more time for you to enjoy the MANY rides. Plus, take advantage of the many discounts available on food and merchandise. 

But that's not all there is to do. Silver Dollar City is a whole lot more than just rides! How about, relax and just enjoy the streets and try some food you've never tried before? Steve and Sandy do just that and bring to light a new way to view this AMAZING 1800's theme park.

This is the final of a three part series, Colorado "OH WOW!!"

In this episode, we discuss many things, including Marmot's and Skypilot's ... finally! What do we think is the best tea EVER? Hear Sandy's AMAZING Turkey call. AND we experience for the first time Garden Of The Gods, Pikes Peak and the Ridge Trail Road. 

 

Garden Of The Gods - 

This is a registered National Natural Landmark that contains 300 foot rock formations. Garden of the Gods is the top geological wonder in Colorado with incredible rock formations and an activity playground that lets people hike, bike, horseback ride and explore this free attraction in Colorado Springs. 

 

Pikes Peak - Is the second most-visited mountains on the planet, 

The safe and scenic Pikes Peak Highway provides you the opportunity to enjoy 19 miles of mountain terrain, with frequent pull-offs for you to get out, stretch your legs and explore all that America’s Mountain has to offer. You’ll be treated to breathtaking views, four different Colorado life zones and unique animal sightings, like the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, yellow-bellied marmots and (rumored) Big Foot. 

From the summit’s various viewing areas, you’ll absolutely want to snap photos of Pikes Peak’s incredible scenery. On the clearest days, you can see five states (Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Kansas) and even the curvature of the earth fading into the distance. (Info above provided by www.pikes-peak.com)

 

 

Ridge Trail Road - Covering the 48 miles between Estes Park on the park's east side and Grand Lake on the west, Trail Ridge Road more than lives up to its advanced billing. Eleven miles of this high highway travel above treeline, the elevation near 11,500 feet where the park's evergreen forests come to a halt. As it winds across the tundra's vastness to its high point at 12,183 feet elevation, Trail Ridge Road (U.S. 34) offers visitors thrilling views, wildlife sightings and spectacular alpine wildflower exhibitions, all from the comfort of their car.

Welcome to Episode 50, The One About Colorado ... Oh Wow! part 2 of 3. If planning a trip to this amazing state and looking for things to do, we've got ya covered. 

This episode....

Sandy's mom, Donna, showed us where she spent part of her childhood; in Golden Colorado. For her birthday gift, she got to see the home she hadn't seen in almost 60 yrs.

 

Arapahoe Bar Gold Panning Park - Charlie, Sandy's step-father, has gold fever! We all went panning for gold in the Clear Creek stream, that passes through Golden Colorado. Did we find gold? Listen to find out?

 

Buffalo Bill Grave and Museum - 

On top of Lookout Mountain rests Buffalo Bill. Why is Wyoming mad about that? Why is there money thrown on to Buffalo Bill's grave?

 

Lookout Mountain - 7,379ft high and we saw Coors Brewery, BUT can Donna see her home from there?

 

Stanley Hotel - A Ghost Tour that's listed on our Bucketlist can now be scratched OFF! Sitting in the middle of the Rocky Mountain National Forest Park is a little town called Estes Park Colorado. In that little town of Estes Park is the Stanley Hotel. Built buy Freelan Oscar Stanley, American architect and inventor in 1909. 

Its mysterious rich history and beauty has captivated and inspired many people. Just to name one, Stephen King. Ever heard of "The Shinning"?

We decided to take a Spirit Tour of this infamous hotel. We ain't afraid of no ghosts! 

 

Manitou Cliff Dwellings - Hands on history! These are AMAZING pueblo cliff dwellings left from the Anasazi people over a 1000 years ago. 

Just a quick observation. Speaking from experience. The entryways of the the cliff dwellings were designed for much "smaller" people. Steve was challenged, by his daughter Olivia and niece Hannah, to go climbing where "hefty" people shouldn't. Did he get stuck? Listen to find out! 

That aside, this 40 room site (with tiny doorways)was originally located in McElmo Canyon, which is in the southwest corner of Colorado near Mesa Verde and Dolores. The process of relocating, brick by brick, of these cliff dwellings began in 1904 and was completed in 1907 and opened to the public. Its been attracting tourists for over a 100 years. It's really worth the visit!!

 

Red Rock Amphitheatre - "Oh the chaos!!!!" Listen to find out what happened?
