Q: My family and I will be spending a few days in Denver, Colorado
next month and were wondering if you have any suggestions for excursions to the surrounding countryside without having to hassle with renting a car and finding our way around?
A: There is much to see and do just outside Denver without venturing into the thick of the Rockies. The Colorado Sightseer
organizes half and full day tours, many of which take you to the Western Foothills where you'll gain a true sense of these
majestic mountains and the rugged scenery that surrounds them. Highlights include visits to the gold mining country, Coors Brewery,
Buffalo Bill's Grave, Colorado Springs and the United States Air Force Academy, the breathtaking summit of Mount Evans,
and the historic towns of Central City and Blackhawk.
Tours vary depending on the season but you will always be accompanied by a friendly and knowledgeable guide eager to let you in on a secret
or two about the old ways of the West. Guided historic tours of Denver are also possible. For more information and a brochure, call (303)423-8200.

I participated in the tour to the Rocky
Mountains led by Heath. I loved, enjoyed and was profoundly enlightened by the
tour. Heath packs in a lot of enviable enthusiasm, knowledge, learning, humanity
and love into his talks. He is very patient with your questions. I have taken
many sightseeing tours all over the world. But this was different. It was an
EXPERIENCE, an ENLIGHTENMENT and an EDUCATION. It was great joy.
