COME TO LIFE Cache la Poudre River near Fort Collins Whitewater Rafting Spend a day rafting past ponderosa pines and bighorn sheep along the Cache la Poudre River — Colorado’s only nationally designated Wild and Scenic River — in Fort Collins, where you’ll find routes for every age and ability. Gaze at towering rock-canyon walls and desert ecology from your boat on the Gunnison River , where fast-paced rapid expeditions whoosh you through heart-racing water features and relaxed floats allow you to jump in and swim. Or spot crimson cliffs and Ancestral Puebloan ruins as you sail down the Dolores River in Cortez. Winery Tours Sip award-winning wines and breeze through the rows of speckled grapevines at Colterris Winery in Palisade. Make your way to The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey in Cañon City to try award-winning blends and roam serene gardens alongside views of the Wet Mountains. Or reserve a timeslot to visit Jack Rabbit Hill near Hotchkiss, where you can tour the lush grounds and learn about their biodynamic farming practices — and of course, try a glass or two of their organic vino.
