The Super Seniors arrived in Denver this past Wednesday in grand fashion. Compliments came from far and wide, the lady at the flight check-in counter, multiple passengers on the airplane, and our first night's hotel manager. Well done - this would be the first of many times this group would rise to the occasion and impress so many.
Thursday, we journeyed to Grand Junction. As we headed West, we gazed out the window as the breath-taking scenery continuously awed us with each passing mile. Upon arriving, we took on the task of rock-climbing and rappelling at some unparalleled sites. Deep along the Unaweep Canyon, multiple ascents were setup for us by our top-notch guides. Each Super Senior challenged themselves on various levels and the guides were so impressed they added a couple additional paths for the group to enjoy!
At the other site, Colorado National Monument, the group had the chance to experience a few different elements. A rappel, canyoneering features, scrambling, various squeezes, additional climbing, and more at this location was a quite remarkable day! "Best day of my life" per one Super Senior. Again the rock climbing guides were throurughly impressed, but better yet the Super Seniors impressed themselves with not only how much they enjoyed the challenging activities, but how well they completed them. Super Seniors were rising.
How do you compete with rock climbing? Let's try whitewater rafting through Westwater Canyon on Level 4 rapids at a premium time with perfect conditions! Throw in epic water battles on the raft, amazingly delicious meals cooked up by our river guides, camping under the stars along an unimaginable canyon wall with rapids as background music, songs and stories, exploring and relaxing, and you get an experience no one will forget. Wow. Super Seniors rode the rapids, including a particularly wet one called Sock-it-to-me. It lived up to its name for sure...and the Super Seniors continued to rise as well.
Now, let's go biking!
