The usual summertime vacation can be enjoyed at many Colorado dude ranches, including swimming, hiking, and fishing. During the winter months, guests may find that sledding, sleigh rides, ice-skating, snowmobiling and cross-county skiing are available. The season shouldn’t be a deterrent in choosing to vacation at a Colorado dude ranch, because there’s always something to do.
Dude ranches in Colorado offer numerous trails for riding or hiking. You can ride your horse over mountain trails, alongside rivers, or through open meadows. Your level of experience and comfort will determine your rides, and friendly staff are there to assist you at every turn.
There are also a number of adventures to be found off of the horse. River-rafting, mountain biking, and hunting trips are available at many ranches. On working ranches in Colorado, guests can help with the cattle alongside the cowboys and cowgirls at work.

After planning a weekend away to get some sunshine at the beach along the east coast of Australia, the weather decided to turn miserable. We had to find somewhere else to go and a friend suggested we take a trip to The Entrance. We were only 15 minutes away by car as we were staying at Avoca Beach.
When we arrived we found a nice stretch along the water filled with restaurants and bars, where we had a few drinks and some lunch. It was a lovely way to kill some time as we waited for the daily pelican feed, which occurs at 3.30pm. One thing we didn’t realize was that the Entrance is called the Pelican Capital of Australia.
As the time approached, we found a good spot to watch and suddenly lots of pelicans began to gather to await for the fish frenzy! This has been going on now for over 20 years and the pelicans all know when and where to come for their lunch. The crowd was ecstatic as we all watched the feeders throwing fish at them. As soon as one lot of fish disappeared down their gullets, all eyes would be back onto the feeders.

We’ve all seen rock climbing in the movies and it sure looks dangerous. Remember in Mission Impossible when Tom Cruise is hanging off a mountain facing out to see the sunset, or in Vertical Limit when that decision needs to be made whether or not to cut the rope to sacrifice his life to save his climbing partner.
Indoor rock climbing, on the other hand, isn’t really anything like that, but it’s fun anyway! If you’ve never done any climbing, doing it the indoor way is a great way to begin. As the name suggests, you do it indoors and the rope is tied to the floor. You’re also not really climbing up rocks but these little odd shaped pieces that are screwed to the wall. However, it isn’t as easy as it sounds.
You can find these centres all over the World. If you’re in Sydney, there’s a place in Wetherill Park called Pitch. It’s a large warehouse with all different types of climbing walls. You get a short lesson and then you can just start climbing.

During my childhood, which was quite a while ago now, my father would take us to Uncle Tom’s Cabins, which were on Walaga Lake about ten minutes out of Bermagui. For you non-aussies out there, this is about four and a half hours drive south of Sydney. I recently decided to go back there since I have such fond memories of the place. I really wanted to see if it was a terrific as I remembered. Much to my delight, I actually found it better.
Before you go searching for Uncle Tom’s Cabins, they’ve now changed the name to Regatta Point Holiday Park, and I’m guessing that old Uncle Tom has sold it to a big corporation and is now living the high life somewhere else. The park is simple a caravan park and camp site with cabins along side a large lake. It’s also only a short drive to the nearest local beach, called Camel Rock Beach, and about twenty minutes away from the amazing country towns of Tilba Tilba and Central Tilba.
What is fantastic about it is that during the off-peak season, you have huge camp sites all to your self for very reasonable rates. Although it may sound like a setting for a horror flick, the facilities are in excellent order and the staff are extremely friendly.
