Just like many of you, our vacation plans have been postponed this summer. At one point we had a calendar stock full of family vacations, before COVID changed all that. I would be bummed, but you know what... Look at where we live? I mean really - look outside! People pay money to take vacations HERE. How lucky are we to live in a place like this? How lucky are we to have accommodations and adventure so close by, making it super easy to pack up the family (dogs too!) to escape for a memorable vacation?
We love to discover our surroundings and our most recent trip was to Lawson Adventure Park in Dumont -- a playground for adventurous families right in our back yard.
Adventure
Lawson Adventure Park is a playground for the adventurous family. Beginner rafting is suitable for ages 8 and up, the Via Ferrata and Zipline is a good excursion kids ages 12 and up.
Safety is Priority #1
Safety has always been a priority with Lawson Adventure Park, with pre-trip training sessions, equipment checks and knowledgeable staff always there to help. Under the world's current COVID situation, Lawson has also adapted their Activity Safety Awareness & Preparedness Plan.
Their Safe to Play practices include sanitization standards, no contact self check-in, face masks for guests (during times needed - like in the van to raft put-in), limited booking slots, and temperature checks to name a few of the precautions Lawson Adventure Park is taking to keep guests safe. See their entire 2020 ASAP Plan here.
Location, Location, Location
In 2020 (well, anytime really - but especially now) a vacation that is easy to get to makes for a vacation that is more likely to happen. Lawson Adventure Parks is nestled in the trees, right off I70 just past Idaho Springs.
Cozy Accommodations
Whether you choose to stay in a Cabin or a Yurt, you will find everything you need to make your vacation perfect.
Cabins: 1 and 2 bedroom cabins available. Cabins equipped with stocked kitchen, deck complete with BBQ, bathroom with shower and a sleeper sofa. Modern amenities include flat screen TV's - but really, with adventure right outside your door, why would you need them!
Yurts: Like camping in a tent, but in a heated, single-room with bunk beds. Yurts are insulated tents to help keep the goodness (like heat) in and the not so fun things (bugs and forest animals) out. Yurts are equipped with lanterns, BBQ, cozy beds and futons. Yurts do not have electricity or running water. Bathhouses are nearby.
