2 years ago I travelled to southern Colorado.  While riding horses through some of the most pristine mountains and valleys I thought what a wonderful place to pretend you are on a quest!

Cell Phones did not work there.  No paved roads within site of any of the peaks I rode over.  I can't remember a single plane flying over. And, only about 3 hour drive from Albequerque New Mexico...

I little slice of heaven called Rainbow Trout Ranch... If you ever want to get away I strongly recommend the place....
