In 2002 I was in 7th grade and for orchestra, we took our yearly trip to Estes Park. Out of the 5 trips I have taken in my orchestra career, Colorado is still my most favorite (even over Disney World!) – the mountains, the snow, how it snowed but it was still warm enough outside to not have to wear a coat, and the cabin we stayed in…it’s the most beautiful state I ever visited and I’ve been wishing to go back ever since.
