The valley's great connector is its 40+ mile bike path, the Rio Grande Trail. Great for casual walks, too. From our house, go west on 8th Street (toward downtown) all the way until you reach the Roaring Fork River (you'll see (Farnum Holt Funeral Home on your right--it's about a 10 minute walk or 3-minute bike ride). There you'll be able to hop onto the trail.

Sightseeing

We love poking around the lobby of the historic Hotel Colorado--it feels like being transported back in time to the days when Teddy Roosevelt stayed there on his hunting expeditions. It's fun to grab a drink in the bar and sit in the courtyard for people-watching, too.
