ACCOMMODATIONS
Knowing it is high season and the peak of color change in Colorado during September, a block of rooms has already been booked at some of the best hotels and lodges in the towns our journey will take us, including two mountain lodges and one historic hotel. The full itinerary including the towns to be visited and hotels reserved will be revealed to registered participants (who request to know) one week before the event. (Most participants prefer not to know so it is a surprise every day.)
Rooms have either King, Queen, or Double Queen beds, depending on the location. Please note that some hotels do not have Double Queen bedrooms, so if you and your passenger want separate beds, you will need an additional room at those hotels. You can specify your preference during registration. At every hotel, where available, a suite or higher has been reserved, but quantities are limited. Early registrations will receive choice of the higher class rooms reserved.
Upgrades to deluxe and premier rooms are available at some hotels and will be available at others if and when new rooms become available (hotel will notify us). Please specify during registration if you desire to upgrade to a higher class room.
Your luggage will be placed into your hotel room in advance of arrival of every day.
Hand car wash will be available at the end of every day (optional).
Private parking has been arranged at every hotel.
Off-duty police officers will watch over our pride and joy and keep away strangers every night from dusk 'till dawn (except where cars are parked in an enclosed/gated garage).
