Overnight Trek = Ambitious
History Colorado’s Ute Indian Museum reopened in 2017. With expanded exhibits and one of the nation’s most complete collections of Ute artifacts, it provides us with inspiration for a wider tour—searching out the ancient and ongoing story of the Utes. We’ll also see Fort Uncompahgre, once a hub for trade in the region, and the Shavano Valley petroglyphs, dating back more than 3,000 years. Though many signs of the region’s earliest inhabitants are gone, experts in the history and culture of the Ute people will share their insight and appreciation for these true Colorado originals.
Includes three nights’ lodging, bus transportation, guides, all entrance fees and six meals, including a Welcome Dinner.
