Colorado
We have four choices for a free trip we won to Colorado. They are Frisco, Avon, Breckenridge and Steamboat Springs. My husband and I are seniors in our 60's and don't really hike much. But can do short hikes depending on what what body part hurts that day! Anyway, which of these do you recommend? Steamboat Springs appeals to me for the for the various hot springs you can soak in. We also would be going in September unless you all recommend a better time of year.

How are you getting there? Transportation included in your prize package? Steamboat sounds almost as good as my favorite - Glenwood Springs. Hike as far up as you are comfortable with from town and then come back down and soak in the hot spring. Early September (Labor day weekend?) sounds like a good time.

Thanks Jean. I wondered about the acclimation issue. My sister and her family stayed in Denver about 15 years ago and took a drive in their car up to about 1.5 miles or more and they did indeed suffer a bit from being that high. They got very tired and then my sister felt a bit nauseous for a while.

The Ruby Canyon is one of the 3 beautiful daytime sections on the California Zephyr route.
Rental cars are available in Grand Junction.
