Look for afternoon/evening rain at this time of year, and don't be surprised if it's snowing in Breck.

Good point. They got about 8" of snow in some areas yesterday, and it's supposed to snow again this weekend.

So is it like here and everything closes when they get that kind of snow?

It's a little closed right now.

Go to Manitou Springs (about an hour south) and take the cog railroad to the top of Pike's Peak.

Estes Park is indeed very nice.

Those would be my top three recommendations for one day in Colorado.

Or drive up Pikes Peak. Cool......and scary as hell.

Yep. I understand that they are running the cog RR year-round now, too. I've only ever done it in non-winter. It would be pretty cool. It will be much colder at the summit.

I think this is what we are going to do. Oh, and burn down Mile High. :evil:

I'll second the notion about Manitou Springs. It's just a very neat, eclectic town that has quite a bit of shopping and some sights nearby, IIRC. Garden of the Gods is amazing, too. A must see.

I'm not kidding when I say it will be cold. Take multiple layers. Oh, and make sure that you stay hydrated.

Na, Breck got 500" of snow this year. They're used to it.

seaofred 04-28-2011 11:26 AM

Thanks for all the feed back on this and Yes, Donger my wife and I will dress warm.

Be careful that you don't trip over any of the trustafarians in Manitou or Breck.
