Default Vacation Ideas?

So hypothetically, you've got a week or so in early June for a trip. SWMBO
is looking for a place with a nice cabin, good food, mebbe some shopping,
and nice views (mountain-type stuff would be ideal.)

Plus, (and here's the good part) she's thinking somewhere out west with a
nice bit of trout water nearby. Yay.


I live in CO, in the headwaters of the Arkansas river. I'm in a snowbird
park that is empty in Winter and pretty full ....but not entirely!.... in
Summer. The primary tourist business is rafting and flyfishing. I'm sure
you could find a place to fit your needs. It's a valley at about 7500ft
elev and one can view the Collegiate Peaks (14K+) from almost any location.
The Ark is considered to be one of the premier trout rivers of the West.
Here's some info:
