Head south for a magnificent drive to Glenwood Springs, past Colorado’s best known ski resorts, continue south to Gunnison along the Top of the Rockies Scenic Byway. Gunnison is an old mining town at heart….

South East from Gunnison is Alamosa near to the Great Sand Dune National Park, a real curiosity in a land of 14,000 ft peaks. Head back North East through old gold towns to Manitou Springs, from here you can catch the train to the top of Pikes Peak the most renowned of Colorado’s 25 fourteeners, or explore The Garden of the Gods a wonderful “city” park close by in Colorado Springs.
