Day 3 of Colorado

We spent our 3rd full day in Colorado in the valley about 1.5 hours from the resort. The resort provided all day transportation. First we headed to a horseback riding ranch. It was just the 2 of us on a ride with the guide/owner and her dog. It was absolutely beautiful. We rode all morning and then enjoyed feeding our horses at the end.





This was the guide's dog who rode with us on the trail. He had the tour memorized and laid down wherever he knew there would be talking. Our pups would have loved to ride with us too!




The guide led us to some ancient Indian ruins. It was weird standing in the middle of the desert and seeing snow in the distance. It was beautiful and we had a great time looking at the petroglyphs and hearing all the stories from the guide.









The second part of our day we headed to Sutcliffe Vineyards. It was absolutely beautiful. The owner of the vineyard actually came out on the patio, sat down with us to drink some wine, and told stories. It couldn't have been prettier and everyone couldn't have been nicer. We actually bought a whole case of wines. We especially like the Rose and we bought several bottles to use for our anniversary wine!







The 2nd guy in charge brought us into the storage area and actually siphoned wine out of the barrels for us to drink right there with him!
