Hey guys! so far it looks like we will be visiting you guys in a few weeks! Mar 30th-April 3rd. We dont have many plans yet, but there three things we want to do besides do the drive with you all: Tour the Budweiser Factory (love the horses), visit The Stanley Hotel (maybe we can do a group tour of the haunted hotel?) and drive down to Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods. Also, we would like to visit the highest paved road in America. Think we can plan around that? Oh, and the 2nd is our Anniversary and the 1st is my wife's birthday.

I have posted this on the Colorado Smart's SmartUSA Insider page too. If you know anyone from there, please get with them also. Thanks.

Think this will require a detour through St. Louis; you may be thinking of the Coors Brewery in Golden.

Thanks - glad to know there's another team of horses (or maybe more.) Now you can tour two Colorado breweries.

What would be cool is to drive Pike's Peak with like 50 smarts and get a pic at the top! Then explore all the gold trails and stuff, incl Garden of the Gods.

If you head Southeast from Cripple Creek, go through Victor (5.4 miles) then, continue on County Road 67 (Phantom Canyon Road). About 30 miles of the most terrifying single lane unpaved cliff hanging road I've ever traveled. Very scenic.
