Poudre to the Peak Spring Drive – May 3rd

This year’s route features a full day of scenic driving through some of Colorado’s most beautiful mountain roads. The drive begins in Fort Collins, heading north on Highway 287 before turning west through Poudre Canyon on Highway 14 to Cameron Pass. After a rest stop, we’ll continue to Walden for lunch at River Rock Café.

Following lunch, the cruise continues east from CO 125 / Hwy 40 toward Granby and Winter Park, then climbs over Berthoud Pass before returning to the Metro Area via I-70.

Drivers of all experience levels are welcome, and groups will be organized to accommodate a range of driving styles, including a more relaxed touring group for those who want to focus on the social and scenic side of the day.

Please call or e-mail for lunch reservations by the evening of May 6. Expect soup and sandwich bars with cookies to cost  $21/person with tax and tip included.
