Anyway, I made arrangements for Leslie and I to spend the week after our wedding in the Rockies. We're flying from Lexington to Montrose, CO the day after the wedding, renting a car, and spending three nights at Dunton Hot Springs. What a few years ago was the dead shell of an old mining town is now a small (fewer than 50 people at a time) all-inclusive luxury resort with 12 refurbished cabins. We'll be staying in the Echo, pictured below.
In addition to relaxing in the natural hot springs and doing some self-guided hiking, I'm hoping we can take a guide out for a day of fly fishing. Dunton has exclusive rights on nine miles of the Delores River and June is supposed to be a good time for trout.
After leaving the springs, we're going to Telluride for a couple of nights. While based in Telluride, we're hoping to do some sort of river riding (either kayaking or rafting), a bit of climbing, and perhaps a mountain bike ride.
Our last night will be back in Montrose before an early departure to ensure we'll make it back to our friend Gulu's wedding on the 26th.
I'm totally stoked--it's going to be the best week ever.
