Colorado

The Rocky Mountains form the backdrop to an historic and adventurous journey through the state of Colorado. Enjoy the wildlife and scenery of Rocky Mountain National Park. Take a ride on the cog railway to the top of Pikes Peak where “America the Beautiful’ was written more than 100 years ago. Visit Colorado Springs Garden of the Gods. Discover Denver…the “mile-high city” for a “Taste of Colorado” food fair, and visit Winter Park where ski runs become mountain bike trails in the summer. In the small town of Meeker, join a Sheepdog Championship that pits man and dog against some tough and wily competitors. Take a guided tour of the sandstone cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde. All aboard in Durango for a journey by steam locomotive through the mountains to an historic railroad festival. Catch spectacular trout and experience whitewater rafting in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. CO REVIEW: Discoveries...America: Colorado "The latest entry in award-winning filmmakers Jim and Kelly Watt's high-definition-filmed series that takes armchair travelers on an eye-popping tour of the United States, visits Colorado's well-known sites (Pikes Peak, Mesa Verde National Park, etc.), and uncovers some "hidden treasures" (such as Winterpark, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison River, and the Durango Railfest). Boasting outstanding cinematography coupled with informative and entertaining descriptions of each of the profiled attractions, this is another winner that is sure to be a popular addition to travel collections. Recommended."
