Glacier
Gorge
Estes Park, CO-In
my opinion this is
the most beautiful
spot in Rocky Mountain
National Park. Spectacular
scenery, beautiful
wildflowers, cascading
waterfalls, and beautiful
alpine lakes are what
you will find on your
hike into Glacier
Gorge. Bring along
a fishing rod and
a camera Hiking

Conundrum
Hot Springs
Aspen, CO- A secluded
collection of pools
in a beautiful wilderness
location. Essentially
undeveloped, wilderness
location. Conundrum
is one of Colorado’s
most exquisite settings,
and if you pick your
time carefully, your
visit there can be
an outstanding, secluded
experience. The pools
vary in size and temperature,
but the larger pools
average about 102
degrees F, depending
on the season. Hiking

Silver
Dollar Lake
Georgetown,
CO-This short, fairly
easy trail to a pristine
mountain lake surrounded
by soaring cliffs
is one of the best
trails on Guanella
Pass, within easy
driving distance of
Denver. The only disadvantage
is the possibility
of snowmobiles or
SUVs on the road to
the trailhead Hiking

a fairy-tale “through
the woods” experience.

South
Canyon Hot Springs
Glenwood Springs,
CO-Some of the most
unique and enjoyable
hot springs are not
known to many, which
is of course part
of their allure. South
Canyon Hot Springs
is just such a place;
it is known almost
exclusively by the
locals and intentionally
not advertised. Many
such places in the
American West may
never be described
in a book because
their very existence
is a closely guarded
secret. Hiking

The South American natural forces can be witnessed in
countless forms--you'll find them cascading over the Devil's Throat of
the Iguazu Falls, flooding Llanos grasslands.
The Australian Great Barrier Reef stretches to Papua

rugged hills.
The African Congo Basin is a network of swamps and emerald
forests as diverse as the four counterpoints it unifies. The European
and Middle Eastern natural histories include building castles on its rocky
peaks, painting frescoes in its caves, trading through its passes, and
perishing at its mercy.
