Nestled in the foothills of the Front Range, Bailey looks like the ideal small town but has a controversial past. It was founded as a ranch and stage station by William Bailey, and the Denver & South Park Railroad brought settlers who never wanted to leave. Discover the draw to small-town, mountain living as well as the quirky historic sites that have given it national recognition—like Coney Island and the Sasquatch Outpost. We’ll learn about the ways Bailey has made headlines recently after facing several adversities but stands strong with the motto “I Love U Guys.” Includes bus transportation and a break for lunch on your own dime.
