Armed Eye Doc Posted July 20, 2014 Report Posted July 20, 2014 My wife and I are going to Colorado next week. I have a conference to go to in Estes Park starting Thursday. Then we are going to go off-road, camping, and other things that strike our fancy. We may make it to Mt. Rushmore and to Sturgis the week before the rally. I've heard there are quite a few vendors that set up early. We rarely make definite plans for vacations. Anything else in the area that we should consider? I know that I can only carry a gun with a magazine with 15 rounds in Colorado. Are there any similar restrictions in neighboring states? I know I could look it up, but it's late and I'm being lazy.
98Z5V Posted July 20, 2014 Report Posted July 20, 2014 I have a conference to go to in Estes Park starting Thursday... We may make it to Mt. Rushmore That's another 350 miles, right there - I'm just sayin'... If you're going to make that trip for that distance, hit Devil's Tower. Yep, no joke, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" Devil's Tower. That thing is a sight to behold, in person.

I hadn't even thought of that. Thanks
unforgiven Posted July 20, 2014 Report Posted July 20, 2014 There is Pikes peak,Crazy Horse,the Badlands,Deadwood the No# 10 Salloon where Wild Bill Hickoock was shot.
shepp Posted July 20, 2014 Report Posted July 20, 2014 Dead woods cool touristy but cool Devils tower was what I was going to say when I first read your post, clusters state park is nice too Mount Rushmore is cool, if I had to pick between it or crazy horse I'd go Rushmore (but I was there along time ago too)
shepp Posted July 20, 2014 Report Posted July 20, 2014 Also in co the Durango-silverton train, pikes peak I know I'm missing somthing but can't think of it
Armed Eye Doc Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Posted July 20, 2014 We have been to Pike's Peak. My wife got dizzy from the altitude, but no problem in the cabin we stayed in at 9500 feet. All of these are great suggestions. I don't know where we may end up. We may stay in CO if we find somewhere we like. Any unusual concealed carry restrictions in adjoining states I should know about?
edgecrusher Posted July 20, 2014 Report Posted July 20, 2014 I have no suggestions, but can sympathize, my wife gets the same way when we stay in Breckinridge
unforgiven Posted July 20, 2014 Report Posted July 20, 2014 We took the cog-rail up Pikes peak wife was short of breath also.The thing about Crazy horse is it will take generations to complete,and it is privately funded.

All of these are great suggestions. I don't know where we may end up. We may stay in CO if we find somewhere we like. Things way up high over there get strange, like starting a fire, or boiling water. It's one thing to read about these issues, but totally something else when you're trying to do 'em.
DNP Posted July 21, 2014 Report Posted July 21, 2014 Well Doc, don't start any fires....and hopefully you won't be making any hard boiled eggs on your visit. Sounds like that would be a pain in the rear. DO try the brownies for us though, and report back. I haven't been out that way, so I have no suggestions. A lot of these mentioned sound pretty good though. I can't wait to get out on the road with the family someday.
shepp Posted July 21, 2014 Report Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) My old man loved going "out west" went to Colorado in 1st grade actually remember a lot of it, then in my teens SD and the last trip I went on with them I was 16 we went to Montana and up into BC I always tell people skip yellow stone go to glacier much cooler less busy park. I still say the hottest girl I ever saw was in ID at a lil gas station in bfe lol. Edited July 21, 2014 by shepp
