The Como Roundhouse, Railroad Depot and Hotel Complex is a collection of historic buildings in Como, Colorado. I highly recommend the walking tour of Como, an easy and history-rich few hours.
Saturdays, volunteers lovingly work on the Roundhouse and train cars. They’re aiming to have everything running by the third weekend in Aug for Boreas Pass Railroad Day.

At this time of year, fields of wild iris bring a special magic to historic Como. Countless Native Americans, miners, railroaders, ranchers, residents and sightseers have enjoyed their beauty for over two centuries.

When Colorado’s mining rush dried up, hundreds of ghost towns and structures were left behind, still scattered around the state today. While some of these areas are closed to the public, others can be explored. Access these five ghost towns via snowshoes during the winter season to experience a true blast from the past.

TBT to summer in our valley. As much as I love the snowy view and crisp winter air, late June to early Sept is SUPER PRETTY here. Only a handful of open summer dates remain.

We no longer build fireplaces for physical warmth—. We build them for the warmth of the soul; we build them to dream by, to hope by, to home by.

Remember to speak up when you see something special in someone or something. Jason & I so appreciate guest feedback like this. When you put so much hope, effort, money, time and love into a product, external validation fuels forward momentum. And everyone fueled to improve their corner of the world will make the whole better than the sum of its parts.

The creek is freezing right on schedule this year. My daughter and I walk down to the creek each time we are here, just to see what changed. It is always new!

After the kids are tucked in to their bunks, it’s time for the adults to reconnect. My favorite spot: the leather couch, a cozy blanket and a glowing fire.

An unbeatable backdrop for your rendezvous (and one of my fav family photo spots just stops from the back door).

Vacay closer to home. Less travel time means more family time.

The discovery of gold near present-day Denver in 1858–59 drew thousands of people to present-day Colorado, prompting the political organization of first a US territory and later a state. Many current cities and towns, including Denver, Boulder, Black Hawk, Breckenridge, and Central City, were founded during the Colorado Gold Rush, and its associated activities produced tremendous social and environmental changes.

You can see remnants of this time throughout the valley, old wagon roads, cut timber that takes centuries to regrow at this altitude, and of course mine and mill ruins.
