Fun for Everyone

One of my favorite places to visit, the owners at the pool make sure everyone has an amazing time. Two great restaurants, gift shop, adult-only "greenhouse" with a bar and several soaking pools and of course plenty of space for families and friends.

Want to see wildlife? The Monte Vista National Wildlife refuge can take you to another world. Boasting a driving loop with wetlands, walking trails and viewing areas - you can certainly spend an entire day watching birds, elk, deer and more. Come during spring and you can see the thousands of Sandhill cranes on their migration north.

If you're a history nerd and passing through Monte Vista, hopefully the museum is open. Located in Colorado's first and oldest Veteran's Center and sacred resting place for U.S. Soldiers in every war since the Civil War. Also located near the museum are 3 incredible State Wildlife areas with walking paths along the Rio Grand River. If you head north along 3E (or called by the locals as the Soldiers Home road) look for the signs. You'll be glad you stopped!
