We planned this trip months ago and than a half starved cat adopted us. We rescued Rusty but need someone to care for him while we are gone. He likes to spend a lot of time outdoors. We make sure he is in the house at night. Very friendly and affectionate. We live hours from Vail and Aspen. The closest resort town is Glenwood Springs (20 min.away)Glenwood is home to the worlds largest hot springs pool also my place of employment Glenwood Caverns Adventure park and a local ski area Ski Sunlight 1/2 the price of the big boys. House is an old farmhouse in the country. Nearest shopping in Rifle, Co. 10 min drive to a super Wal-mart and a City Market Grocery Store. Glenwood Springs has a lot of shopping and dining and a Natural Grocers Vitamin cottage for organic choices. We would like to go over things with you on the 8th. This sit will include passes to Glenwood Caverns where you can see a great cave , enjoy a gondola ride up the mountain and check out our lights and winter rides. We recommend a car with snow tires or 4 wheel drive. My front wheel drive car with snow tires does fine here. We do have Verizon 4G service here. Unfortunately we use our phones as hot spots for wifi and they will be with us. So no wifi.
