What and Where:

The Colorado Super Trip will be based at the Brooks cabin, located in Chalk Creek Canyon between two 14,000’ Colorado Mountains. It has its own fishing stream and nearby is a fishing lake, hot springs swimming pool, St. Elmo “ghost town,” numerous hiking trails and other fun activities. The cabin is located in Chalk Creek canyon about 10 miles west of Nathrop, Colorado about two hours from Colorado Springs.

For those who love hiking and backpacking, there is no greater thrill or accomplishment than reaching the top of a 14,000’ mountain. Those going on this Super Trip will experience a “mountain top” adventure by climbing Mt. Antero. If you are not interested in a mountain top Colorado experience, a second group will experience the rich adventure of the Colorado mountains. See the possible activities on the back
