Nature Valley sent three teams out to explore the US National Parks. Jack Kost and Eric Doyle from Team Mountain spent a week in Colorado and had the time of their lives. To see how they spent their first day click here

 

Time for another fun filled day of the Epic Summer program! Bright and early we were off to the Colorado River to do a little rafting.

We had excellent weather for our trip as we headed to Pump House drop zone to meet our rafting guide. After a brief safety run through we were ready to hit the water! It was a really mellow trip without much paddling. More of a relaxing float. About halfway through our guide pulled the raft to the river bank near a cliff. He explained we could jump off the cliff if we liked; Eric and I were pumped! We'll share video later.

After the rafting and some lunch we were headed to Vail for a gondola ride and some dinner. The drive itself was beautiful!

Vail is a beautiful place as well. There were weddings happening everywhere! After looking around for a little while we hopped on the gondola to check out the views from the top. We hung out up there for a little while and then rode back down for a delicious dinner at the Cucina Tavern in the village. We would suggest the meatloaf! After dinner it was back to the condo in Keystone to relax.
