Spring has sprung!

Spring is in full swing here in Mancos, CO. The wildflowers are truly amazing this year and the weather has been wonderful (now that it has finally stopped snowing)!

Good news!  The Mesa Top Loop is now open once again, just in time for the summer season.  Construction at most of the sites has been completed and visitors now have the opportunity to visit most of Mesa Verde NP.  Tours are also bustling so make sure to reserve your spot as soon as they become available (more info at recreation.gov). Wetherill Mesa will still be closed for construction of a new visitor contact station for at least the remainder of 2023 but there is still so much to do and we are looking forward to the grand opening next year.

Columbine Bar & Grill in downtown Mancos, an historic gathering place for local ranchers and holding one of the oldest tavern licenses in Colorado, has announced that they will now be open seven days a week.  Columbine serves traditional American fare with their own twist on many favorites.  When you visit, be sure to pay attention to the brands burned into the large center posts – placed there by the ranchers themselves as they gathered in the old tavern.  Columbine has just finished a new seating area on the back patio – just in time for the summer season.  And a really great place to try their delicious homemade ice cream!
