Lodging: We like the lodging that has cabins and is in the mountains typically. Our three favorite places:
  • Glenwood Canyon Resort -Our favorite, on the Colorado River, outside of town, in the Glenwood Canyon, on the Bikepath, with Rafting on-site. We really like their cabins.
  • Four Mile Creek Bed and Breakfast- Has awesome cabins and impressive art and antiques.
  • Mitchell Creek Bed and Breakfast - 5 minutes to the North of town.  New, nice, small.
  • Hotels if you really want to stay closer to downtown inexpensively, or prefer a hotel: 1st Choice, Antlers, Best Value Inns and Suites
Activities

  • Hike to Hanging Lake - about 3-4 hours roundtrip, beautiful lake and waterfalls.
  • Ride the Glenwood Canyon Bikepath
  • Go to the Glenwood Caverns and Adventure Park and take rides, eat, and act like tourists.
  • Visit the Frontier Historical Museum
  • Stop at Roaring Fork Anglers to get the scoop on fly-fishing, then, fish in the Roaring Fork or Colorado River
  • Eat the Bayou Restraurant, (Cajun), Rivers Restaurant and the Glenwood Canyon Brewpub
If you need more ideas, visit the Glenwood Chamber of Commerce

It opens up into meadows after that.  Part of the fun is the sheer variety of water you face, and the ever-changing hatches as you work your way down-river and through different hatches and different parts of the day.    We also go in early June, and it is HOT!

Dvorak Expeditions was the company we used, for the third year in row, for our three day flyfishing and rafting trip on the Gunnison River, in the Gunnison Gorge of the Black Canyon. Dvorak Expeditions led a great fly fishing trip, as always - we go in early June during Gunnison's famous Salmon Fly hatch. Each year we have caught that hatch on at least one of out three days of fishing. If the Salmon fly isn't presence there are many of other dry-fly fishing opportunities for Caddie especially, but many other Stone Flies as well.
