Traveler advice
What to pack
remember to dress in layers and drink lots of water!
the weather changes very quickly and can be completley different when you head up in elevation..wear layers and drink lots of water!
Getting around
Pike Ride -rent E-Bikes !
Pike Ride is a non profit that places E-Bikes (Electric Bike ms) around the area. closest to house to s in Bancroft Park in Old Colorado City (about 8 blocks from home) you can use your credit card to unlock bikes and rent hourly. ride thru sweet neighborhood into the Garden of the Gods... ask Kimberly for a map if needed.. Absolutely one of my FAVORITE THINGS TO DO! Inexpensive and easy!
