Colorado Outdoors




 This trip was to scout for a potential location for an Outdoor Television Show.   Dianne, my wife, and I headed for Colorado in search of some “Action Outdoors”.
We were interested in Mountain Biking, Hiking, Fly Fishing and White Water Rafting.   Not too ambitious….. Right ??  Well, we  went to the Right Place.  We traveled to Denver Colorado and then headed out to Vail and Glenwood Springs, Colorado.  That was the ticket. 
Have you ever thought of going to Colorado, Vail, with no snow.  That is crazy, you go here when there is great powder and you ski the black diamonds,………………Right ??? 
Well not us, we hit the trails and the Rivers for some Excellent Fun.  As I always say……………….Let’s Get Out There !!!!!
We will be back with our HD Video Cameras and we will make a “Most Excellent Show”.  You can bank on that.
Outdoorsman Note:
Try 28 miles on Mountain Bikes along the Colorado River.  Then go for some Level 4 White Water Rafting, (remember Level 6 is all there is for Commercial Rafting Cos)…The water was super cold and very rough----------------NICE !!! 

 





 





 






We then went on some Strenuous Hikes up into the Mountains to Alpine Crystal Clear Lake ending points…..Very Sweet !!!

 











Not done there………..We then when Fly fishing on the River with a guide named…..Jack Bombardier………No really we did, he runs Confluence Casting in Gypsum Colorado.  He was great, he gave me a casting lesson for the 15 mile per hour wind and then we were off to get some nice trout who sip the surface to eat surface insects.   





It was a finesse game with false casts to dry the fly so it will float on the water longer.
All in all……..”Smoking Hot Fun in Colorado in the Summer Time”.    You really have to try it……… Really !!!!!


Thanks for your time today and I’ll See You in The Outdoors !!!
