Wagon Wheel Gap is situated between South Fork and Creede Colorado and is known as the Upper Rio Grande region. The area has some of the best fishing and hunting in Colorado, while Wolf Creek Ski Area  boasts "the most snow in Colorado."

The town of Creede is full of heritage and natural beauty. It was the last silver boom town in Colorado in the 1800's but today, people come to Creede seeking a new adventure. 

Fall has great hunting but...it is also a great time for photographers when the scenery is a sight to behold. In the cold winter months, visitors and locals enjoy activities including snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling. A marvel of nature not to be missed is Wheeler Geological Area, where people can still see the legacy of volcanic eruption from 30 million years ago. Also, if the night life is what you are craving, USA Today named the Creede Repertory Theatre "one of the top 10 places to see the lights way off Broadway."

The Great Sand Dunes National Park, in the San Luis Valley, is the tallest dunes in North America. It is a place where you can splash in Medano Creek, slide down the dunes, go birdwatching in the wetlands, or ascend a 13,000' peak, you'll discover many kinds of wilderness recreation at the dunes.
