Rocky Mountain High SKP's Spring Rally 2019

We had a long winter in Colorado this year, we had planned to head out and do some camping in April but weekend snow storms kept us grounded at home base.  Our first chance to hit the road this year was for the Spring Rally of the Rocky Mountain High chapter of the Escapees RV Club June 3 - 7.  This years Spring Rally was at the KOA Campground in Colorado City, Colorado.

If memory serves me right there were about 14 rigs that came to the Rally.  This was our first Rally with the club and we really didn't know what to expect.  We were warmly greeted and they acted like we had always been there, a great bunch of folks.  I think we had the smallest and oldest rig in the group but that didn't matter.  We met up each day for "happy hour" which means lets get together and talk and eat.  We made lots of new friends that week and were also able to get away by ourselves some too.

We took a long drive on our first full day into the San Luis Valley over by the Great Sand Dunes National Park to go to Zapata Falls.  The drive to the trail head to get to the falls was rough!  Rocky as all get out but still passable by car.  We took it slow and easy and it still rattled Andrea's back pretty good.  Once to the trail head we headed up the 1 mile trek to the falls.  Beautiful hike and some really cold water coming out of a crack in the wall. 

We managed to get over to Lake Isabel to do some fishing on 2 days an caught our limit of trout on both days.  Beautiful small lake in mountains that makes me think of the old song Indian Lake from the 1960's.  We shared the first days take with some of our fellow campers and brought home the bounty from day 2!

After the summary of our trips we plan on providing some information about the park or campground that we stayed in as well as some of the local activities and sights to see.  We'll provide some links for addition information as well as our rating of each place in number of campfires 1 - 5.  If you would like more information, please feel free to reach out to us!
