These hot new experiences for Colorado’s summer should be top of your list:

• Amache Named as America’s Newest National Historic Site, Granada: President Biden signed the Amache National Historic Site Act in spring 2022, designating the Amache site in Granada as part of the National Park System. This designation, the first in the National Park System during this Administration, will permanently protect the site for future generations and will help tell the history of Japanese American incarceration during World War II
• .Rocky Mountaineer Launches First Full Season for Rockies to the Red Rocks Route (until October 2022): Rocky Mountaineer, the luxury train operator, will run its first full season in the Southwest United States in 2022. The Rockies to the Red Rocks route is a two-day rail journey between Denver and Moab with an overnight stay in Glenwood Springs. Take a road trip, or rather a bike excursion, through the Roaring Fork Valley, home to Aspen, Snowmass Village, Basalt, Carbondale and Glenwood Springs. The 40-mile stretch of highway links all five towns via Hwy. 82 from I-70 to the base of the famed Independence Pass.
• Together, the region makes up the Aspen Snowmass / Roaring Fork Gold Level Ride Center, the first Gold-Level IMBA (International Mountain Biking Association) Ride Center™ in Colorado, only the fifth in the United States, and one of only seven in the world.
• Railbiking Comes to South Fork: Railbiking with Revolution Rail is a fun excursion activity for all ages and ability levels that allows riders to ride railroad tracks under their own power and explore the outside in a brand-new way. Revolution Rail is taking reservations now for the full 2022 season for 2-seat and 4-seat railbikes.
