Who knew there is a minature version of the Grand Canyon in Western Colorado.

Brush Creek Ranch Activities

 The great thing about Brush Creek Ranch is the activities.  You have time to book two activities a day plus there are bonus early morning activities like hiking and yoga.  We typically enjoyed one activity together and then went our separate ways for one of the activities each day.

Brush Creek Ranch

We spent 3 nights at Brush Creek Ranch in Wyoming for our 26th anniversary.  To me, this was my 50/50 Anniversary.  Kevin and I get married when I was 26 so I have spent half my life married to him now.  His 50/50 Anniversary will also be our 30th Anniversary.   Maybe another trip to BCR is in order for our 30th.

Medicine Bow

The drive to Brush Creek Ranch from Cheyenne took us through Medicine Bow National Forest.  The scenery was amazing.

Cheyenne, WY

We stayed one night in Cheyenne on the way to Brush Creek.  We wanted to stay downtown within walking distance of restaurants and attractions instead of staying at an exit of the interstate.  We ended up at Nagle Warren Mansion which was built by a railroad baron and visited by Teddy Roosevelt.  The building was impressive and the location was perfect for exploring the town.

This explained the people I saw on my walk.  I was getting a little worried.
