GAMBLING FOR THE GOLD 

Here’s a tour that will take you back in time to the event that put the Pikes Peak region on the map, when cowpoke Bob Womack struck pay dirt 100 years ago.  The cry “GOLD” reverberated around the world, and “Pikes Peak or Bust” was the rallying response of thousands that poured into the West in search of quick wealth.  By 1900, Cripple Creek had a population of 55,000.  Today it has dwindled to less than 4,000 but bustles again with excitement as a new gaming center.

TOUR LENGTH:  6 HOURS - 30 Person Minimum
$35.00 Per Person includes Transportation / $10.00 cash coupon / $5.00 coupon or cash or meal

Sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery aboard our spacious Colorado casino tour shuttle.

Buses depart from 2864 South Circle Depot (hotel shuttle to it) every two hours starting from 7:45 am until 11:45 pm and return every two hours from 9:30 am until 2:45 am.   

DUE TO THE EFFECT OF ALTITUDE ON TOURISTS WHO MAY NEED TO ADAPT TO IT, IT IS STRONGLY SUGGESTED THAT PIKE’S PEAK NOT BE ATTEMPTED UNTIL YOUR BODY HAS BECOME ACCLIMATED.  THEREFORE, WE SUGGEST THAT, IF INTERESTED, YOU GO TO PIKE’S PEAK ON SATURDAY.

PIKES PEAK COG RAILWAY 

If you could take only one tour while in the region, this has to be it!  Pikes Peak is America’s Mountain; this isn’t because it’s the highest, but because it rises, solitary and majestic, out of the Great Plains.  Discovered by Zebulon Pike in 1806 it rises 14,110 feet above sea level.  As you travel up the mountainside aboard one of the last true cog railway trains in America, you will experience three distinct geographical regions marked by striking changes.  At the summit you will feel you are on top of the world! Remember your jacket or sweater – you will need it at the top!

TOUR LENGTH: 4 HOURS - 10 Person Minimum
$55.00 Per Person
Includes Transportation and Cog Railway Ticket

AMERICA'S MOUNTAIN (PIKES PEAK) via PIKES PEAK HIGHWAY 

This tour's route travels up historic Ute Pass and the village of Cascade to the Pikes Peak Highway.  As the road climbs higher, each new curve offers spectacular mountain vista and you'll see mountains, dense forests and tundra, a fragile, yet surprisingly complex, ecosystem in which one footstep off the path can take years for Mother nature to repair.  At the summit, you'll feel like you're on top of the world and the views stretch away for miles.  To the south, the often snowcapped Sangre de Cristo Range and the Gold Rush town of Cripple Creek seem close enough to touch.  To the west lies the Continental Divide; eastward "amber waves of grain" roll on farther than the eye can see; while the north shows the distant skyline of Denver the peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park.  During the 60-mile round trip, we will take rest stops so you can slowly acclimate to altitude changes, stretch your legs and take pictures. Dress warm- it could be snowing at the top! 

TOUR LENGTH: 4 HOURS - 10 Person Minimum
$42.50 Per Person
Includes Transportation and Guide
 

 And, finally, for the very adventurous attendees (who make it back from the zipline ride at Royal Gorge) --
 

WHITE WATER RAFTING

 Here is an experience to make the folks back home gasp in envy and admiration.  Enjoy a glorious morning of action-packed adventure!  Raft the fast flowing, foaming rapids of the Arkansas River, paced by periods of placid paddling when you catch your breath and relish the rugged western landscape.  You will never forget the exciting fun!  Your white water rafting guide will make sure of it.  All guides are top professionals and have completed thorough training in First Aid and are CPR certified.  You will want to bring a change of clothing for the rafting trip (apparel that dries quickly, shorts, bathing suit, sneakers).  After your 10-mile trip, you will enjoy lunch “al fresco” at cozy picnic tables before heading back to “the Springs.” 

TOUR LENGTH:  6 HOURS - 10 Person Minimum
$90.00 Per Person
Includes Transportation, ½ Day Raft Trip and Lunch

Hi Guys and Plei-Mates,

Plans for the 2010 Reunion, “Taking it to the Highlands” have been finalized based on the results of the questionnaire and are shown below. All activities are optional but every effort has been made to keep expenses at a minimum so that everyone who desires can participate. Colorado Springs was chosen because there is much to do and plenty to experience within the area. Activities have been planned to maximize the time available and still allow attendees time to explore on their own. The Association is sponsoring a 2-day tour of the Air Force Academy, Garden of the Gods, Royal Gorge and possibly the Winery at Holy Cross Abbey. Additional activities on your own could include Pike's Peak (highly recommended for Saturday morning/afternoon), Old Colorado City, Olympic Training Center, Ice Skating Hall of Fame, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Will Rogers Shrine, Seven Falls, the Broadmore Hotel, Cripple Creek casinos, Flying W Ranch (Friday night dinner/show), white water rafting, or just kicking back with old friends.

The hotel offers free use of its amenities/equipment based on the number of rooms booked by Association members. Therefore, we have to charge additional fees to those not staying at the hotel but using its facilities.

Association agenda/per-person prices are as follows.  Hospitality room is closed during group activities.

10/6 Wednesday - Hospitality room opens at 2:00 pm; dinner on your own

10/7 Thursday - Motorcoach tour to Air Force Academy & Gardens of the Gods (9:00 am-3:00 pm)

Light buffet in hospitality room at night (included with registration fee)

10/9 Friday - Motorcoach tour to Royal Gorge with lunch and Winery at Holy Cross Abbey (9:00 am-5:00 pm)

                       Arrangements are being made at the Royal Gorge for people with accessibility problems.

Nighttime buffet in the hospitality room ($10 pp)

10/10 Saturday - banquet at hotel ($35 pp)

10/11 Sunday - Farewells

There has been interest expressed in two activities not sponsored, but recommended, by the Association.  These are  the Flying W Ranch dinner/show on Friday night for $52 pp and the Pike’s Peak Cog Railway on Saturday morning for $55 pp.  Prices include transportation and admission.  We need a minimum of 20 people for the Flying W and a minimum of 10 for the railway.  Please indicate on the registration form if you are interested in either one and, if there is enough interest to meet the minimum(s), we will book the tours, notify you, and collect payment separately.
