We are pretty sure the idea to head to Glenwood Springs for rafting, hiking and biking came during a return from a trip to San Diego, CA (which is a story that deserves its own recognition some day.) Anyway, the Bradley’s, Erdmann’s and Wilcox’s headed to Redstone, just west of Glenwood Springs, in the late Spring of 2002. Some may recall the Glenwood fires that year. Blamed on a coal seam that has been burning since the ‘70s nearly 10,000 acres of forest were lost that Spring.
