UPDATE: I had no idea this video would garner as much attention as it has. *Thank you* to everyone who has reached out and commented both here and in the many Facebook groups where this has been shared. If you'd like to know more about my brand of travel, please check out my book * "There's Wonder Around the Bend".* You can find it on Amazon of course, but if you're in Westcliffe, visit Stacy at Custer Supply - she has copies in the store!
Shhh! Please don’t tell anyone. CO folks on the Front Range have never heard of us or ever visited. Summers are spectacular, winters are long and the sidewalks roll up around 6 p.m. We live in Bubbleville - far, far away from big city issues, and like it that way. Thank you for your tour and your appreciation of our beautiful, tiny village.
Ha ha you're so welcome. I love it and I completely understand your perspective. Honestly it's what kept me from doing this years ago. I am from a tiny town in PA, and I fully appreciate the desire for it to stay "hidden".
@@WonderBingTravel please tell me the name of your town so we can advertise it on TH-cam and you won’t live in the small little rural town anymore. You have no idea how our small little towns in Colorado have been infiltrated and now they’re not small and nice rural little towns anymore, crime has gone up 35%, housing has gone up over 70%, etc Please let me know so I can make a video ☺️
Very very nice tour of our town!! You showcased lots of good things, and your dog was a terrific accomplice! Thanks for talking about our Dark Skies! The Courtyard Inn has been upgraded immensely, even offering special events! Glad you’ll come back!!
Thanks, Ruth! I love Westcliffe so very much and can never get enough. This little video was just one of several I'll do over time on your sweet, wonderful little town. :)
Hello to all the Westcliffe and Sangre de Cristo peeps watching this video. Please accept my apology for spelling "Cristo" wrong in the video. I have no idea how I didn't catch that. My fingers got ahead of me and I didn't notice until it was too late. I love your mountains either way!
It's an understatement to say I was sad to see the Summer of Wonder come to an end. The last two days were spent in my very favorite western town of Westcliffe, Colorado, which sits at the foot of the grand Sangre de Cristos. Aaah. So beautiful. I hope I shared it in a way that makes you want to pack your bags asap!
Ugh. I know it. I'm so sorry. I discovered that when I published it and I'm SOOOO sorry! I can't fix it at this point, so I hope they can forgive me. I definitely know how to spell it - just had a moment. :(

Westcliffe was our biggest varsity girls basketball rival back in the day. Great memories.
I love that! Thanks for sharing.
How exciting. Looks beautiful.
It's a hidden gem! (And I hope it stays that way - ha ha!)

You are frickin gorgeous
There's a reason no one tells you about it.
it's dark skies, not dark sky
@@nicoledunn4249 so sorry. I try my best to get these details correct but I’m not always successful. Thanks for the note.
Most of the time a best keept secret should remain a secret.
FYI you misspelled Sangre de Cristo...it doesn't have an h in Christo and locals are rather annoyed. 😀

@@WonderBingTravel I personally forgive you...mistakes happen. It's a great little video. Come back anytime!
They have Ammo! Run away! Call the cops. Boycott that store!
