Segment four takes a sharp turn to the north, leading us into the beautiful state of Colorado. Our last night in New Mexico will be spent in the town of Taos, a beautiful town surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo mountains.
Alamosa, our first town in Colorado, is not one to be missed. Home of the Great Sand Dunes National Park, you will enjoy views of rolling sand dunes just outside of town. Continuing our tour of small-town Colorado, we will begin to head eastward again to Walsenburg, a mining town directly south of Colorado Springs. La Junta is home to fabulous FCBA hosts, and leads us to Holly, the Colorado town knocking on the door of Kansas. Garden City will be our endpoint for the week as we embrace midwestern hospitality and get ready for segment five!
