     Looking for a way to turn Denver into a giant game board? Urban Adventure Quest has created a family-based scavenger hunt that combines the fun of the amazing race with a three-hour tour of Denver. Guided from any smart phone, groups make their way among well known and overlooked gems of the city, solving clues and completing challenges while learning local history. The adventure begins at the state capitol and takes you on a well designed course through some of Denver's art and culture, among shops along the 16th Street Mall and through courtyards and buildings steeped in rich Denver history. The tour requires approximately 2 miles of walking and uses the free 16th street mall transportation at one point in the game. Using a smart phone as 'the guide' allows teams to start when they want and determine their own pace of play. Stop for lunch midway or an ice cream on the Mall - why not, it's your schedule?

  We have exclusive rights to over 4 miles of the Fraser River.

     In the 1940's and 50's, Grand County streams enticed President Eisenhower to spend his free time here so that he could tantalize the trout with a fly and rod. His favorite fly, the H&L Variant still works today. We also fish on the wonderful Colorado River by wading or by boat. The float fishing adds incredible scenery to exceptional fishing. If you have always wanted to land a trophy trout on a fly rod, then you will want to join us on Grey Reef in April, May or June. Grey Reef was #1 on the "American Angler" list of the 25 best places to go for big fish.
