Glamorous ghost town attracts adventurous clientele

For all you City Slickers looking to get away from it all, never underestimate the restorative powers of shouting High Ho, Silver! while galloping off into the sunset.

So, you ask ... what's the quickest way to get in touch with your inner Lone Ranger? It's a little frontier-style rejuvenation at Dunton Hot Springs, a fully restored ghost town in the heart of the Colorado Rockies. Think hand-hewn log cabins (and tepees) surrounding gurgling mineral ponds, an old-time saloon serving locally grown organic cuisine, lung torturing trails followed by a pampering massage.

If adventure is what you’re after (and hopefully you are), Dunton can steer you to horseback riding, heli-skiing, mountain biking, snow shoeing, hiking, camping, fly fishing, river rafting, kayaking, and more. Or maybe soaking for hours in their natural hot springs under an edgeless sky is more your speed.

No matter what your proclivity, Dunton looks like the kind of place you’ll go home raving about — in fact, after discovering this little gem, I am more than apt to make my way there ... and after my travels, if I'm in a sharing mood, when I return, I can book the whole town for forty-two of my closest friends.
