    Would have liked more time at Bandelier to be able to walk the entire trail and take pictures. A second night at Glenwood Springs would be nice. Overall the trip was terrific! Jason "Cap" is a great tour guide, giving up to date and historical info. Mitch, the bus driver did a great job maneuvering the bus, and actually helped avoid a serious accident when some moron tried to pass us with oncoming traffic way too close. Both Mitch and oncoming drivers had to brake and swerve in opposite directions so the moron didn't hit someone head on! We are already looking into another trip out west with Globus. Had a great time!

    The tour was great. The tour director Jason and the bus driver Mitch were about the best we've ever had. the Double Tree and the Hotel Colorado had a limited breakfast selection. The quality of the breakfast food at all the hotels was very good. The Georgetown Loop train ride was not as good as the previous train rides. Maybe replace it with the Pikes Peak Ride. Overall a wonderful trip.

    To make it even better would be to add airport transfers.
