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.

Where would you go?

Some restrictions -- not a whole lotta walking, as SWMBO is pre-spawn.
(Spawn due in late July). Would like a place that has the touristy crap
within maybe 20-30 min drive. Not too remote, as pre-spawn condition
necessitates a certain measure of secure feeling and all that. Thinking
resort-type place, but not looking for some super-luxury sort of thing.

Also, not completely a fishing trip. I'll likely get a few days of fishing,
while doing a few days of touristy stuff.

She likes to sit on a porch and read while soaking up the views.

Budget: certainly not unrestricted, but also not looking to go "on the
cheap."

tl;dr: place out west that Michelle and I will enjoy?

thanks,
Dan

Steamboat Springs, CO...Yampa River and others nearby. Also nice
downtown area with shops of all varieties. Hotels right on river with
rates reasonable during summer. Still has some of Western CO ranch-
style feel left.
