    Steamboat Springs has gotten a lot bigger, but I still enjoy it and recommend a visit... I recommend heading up the mountains and if you like hiking, go walk up the trails by the ski slopes... you can mountain bike them too... had some great times elk hunting there

    Didn't get an elk :cry:

    got a deer once :P

    sylvan lake is where we are looking. just get away from everything, do some fires, some smores, tear up the roads, do a train trip (yeah, dorky i know) :lol: , maybe some fishing, just get away from people/traffic and relax.

    oh yeah...smoke a few joints :lol:

    Nothing beats the top of the ski runs looking down the mountain at the valleys below... I will smoke a lot of pot on that hill before I die. Mark my words :D

    Of the state is gorgeous. Especially Rocky Mountain Nat'l
    Park!ohhhj and if you're into that sorta thing, The Stanley
    Hotel, ( the one the book The Shining was inspired by) is
    in EstesPark Co. It's really neat to see, but man do they
    make a run off The Shining! Got this sweet Redrum shot
    glass when Iwent riding out there last year! Enjoy our
    Beautiful state. And if you're not going so far as RMNP,
    Check out Garden of the Gods! It's amazing! I ride out there
    rvery year too

    leadsville i think is the tiny town near where i plan on going. looking to get away from people and find some mountain roads to tear up.
    Well to be fair.. Your profile says you live at the bar!! How do IIIIIII know
    What town it's in??? :fp: and if you're up inDenver, check out the tremendous
    amount of historic sights! Too many to name! But they're advertised all
    Over once you get out there.

    Well...Morrison is about 15-20 minutes outside of Denver...(where Red Rocks
    Amphitheater is) and there's killer Museums, and old school
    theatre houses downtown. There's the Federal Mint downtown, and I believe
    it's Buffalo Bill that's buried out there, could be wrong on the
    person, but there's shit tons of Old West History out here! And if you're
    already in Denver, and want to go to the mountains, about three hours up
    the 70 w. is Glenwood Springs. There's an amazing lake just off the highway that
    you hike about an hour and a half to get to, called the Hanging Lake. It is
    A Geological anomaly that absolutely MUST be seen to be believed! And in
    Glenwood Springs, is a hotel with the HUGEST hot springs!
    Man made containment, natural springs! Totally badass!

    My family ended up out here in two shifts. My suster's husband
    Is in the Army, and got stationed at Fort Carson.
    My parents followed two years later when my Dad had to move out
    for Medical reasons. Then came me! Lol
