On the first day of our Colorado Adventure, we visited
Four Mile Historic Park. It was a nice way to spend an hour, and admission was very reasonable ($5 adult; $3 kids). They used the map to walk around and see the points of interest. It's basically a loop you walk around, so you couldn't miss anything.
There were no costumed interpreters working, which would have made it more interesting. But we were there on a Thursday afternoon, so maybe they have volunteers working on weekends.
The kids liked seeing the horses, carriages and old covered wagons. The youngest called the windmill "and old-fashioned satellite." LOL
They liked the little one-room school, which was in a larger building called the "Bee Building," so I'm not sure if it was a school or they just wanted to display one.
At night we had tickets to see Counting Crows at
Red Rocks Amphitheatre. That was a lot of fun, sitting high up in the mountain looking out over the valley. The kids didn't mind climbing the 129 steps to the top. I noticed the lack of oxygen.
It got cooler after dark and windy. Luckily the rain passed us by, but we could see clouds and lightening far off in the valley.
Day one was a success!
