10 Classes & Workshops in Colorado That You Shouldn't Miss

December 7, 2021 Diedre Savory

Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

We had Wes Fowler for 2 days of multi-pitch guided climbs. The first day was Pear Butress on Lumpy Ridge and the second was Petit Grepon. Wes was fantastic. He definitely pushed us outside our comfort zones, took the time to teach us the techniques we needed to have for the climbs, and was very safety oriented during the entire time. We would definitely have him guide us again in the future. Thanks Wes.
