My brother in law and I are planning a week long trip to CO this late May/early June. Basically fly into Denver and then do a large clockwise loop through the state hitting up disc golf courses, national parks/hiking spots, and breweries.
Our rough sketch of the trip goes like this:
5/26: Fly into Denver, pick up rental car, catch a Reds/Rockies game at Coors Field
5/27: Drive from Denver to Great Sand Dunes NP via 285 south, with a stop in Salida to play Poncha Springs DGC. Stay somewhere in the vicinity of GSDNP.
5/28: Spend most of the day at GSDNP then drive to Pagosa Springs.
5/29: Play 2 or 3 Pagosa Springs courses. (Elk Hill, Reservoir Hill, Cloman Park). Drive to Durango.
5/30: Spend the day at Mesa Verde National Park
5/31: Light hiking around Durango then drive to Montrose, CO.
6/1: Throw a round at Baldridge DGC in Montrose then spend the rest of the day at Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP
6/2: Drive back to Denver from Montrose. Possibly play CO Mountain College DGC and Ghost Town on the way back into Denver.
6/3: Fly home.
Any locals see any hiccups in this plan?
Restaurants and breweries worth hitting up?
