💡 Tips from Dan

Your Road Warrior Guide

  • Ensure to educate your family before the visit about the site’s history to fully grasp its significance.
  • Remember to maintain a respectful demeanor throughout your visit, given the site's tragic past.
  • Pack a picnic to enjoy in the peaceful surroundings, but always clean up after yourselves to maintain the integrity of the site.
  • Wear comfortable shoes as the site involves a fair bit of walking.
  • Don’t forget to bring your camera. The site, while somber, is still part of beautiful Colorado’s landscape.
