“Rocky Mountain High 2025”

Roadtrek Chapter Meeting and Rally

Sunday July 20th till Thursday July24th (With options to reserve another night or so)

For the first time in over seventeen years we are having a rally in Colorado. We are camping next to the Big Thompson River just outside the city of Loveland, Colorado.

(Elevation 4997ft. above sea level) Besides having a relaxing, forested, campsite near the river to breath in the mountain air; you also have plenty of activities to explore.

There are about 36 breweries in the immediate area, Colorado State University, a Free 10 acre Sculpture Park with 178 pieces.

20 minutes away in Fort Collins, you can see large sculptures, painted pianos, 400 creatively painted city transformer cabinets,

and Old Town Main Street that inspired the design for Disneyland Main Street.

Also, there is a Totally 80’s Museum and Pizza place and a 1919 style restored Trolley to ride. If you like biking there is an amazing network of bike trails.

Feeling like making this a longer vacation? Extend your camping for Thursday and Friday. You can make your camping reservations for additional nights and drive 50 minutes up to 7522 ft. above sea level to the town of Estes Park and the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park.

You can drive another 45 minutes to the highest visitor center in our National Park system, (11,796 ft. above sea level).

Rocky Mountain National Park requires reservation times to enter the park. Website is: recreation.gov

NEXT SECURE YOUR ROADTREK RALLY CAMPING SPACE:

Get your reservations as soon as possible. July is prime camping season in Colorado; the campgrounds fill up fast.

You must CALL the campground immediately and secure your spot.

(It is winter now so leave a message that you are a Roadtrek wanting to get one of our sites for Sun. July 20th thru Wed. July 23rd and leave your phone # and good time to call.)

They will call you back as they check their messages even though the campground is on winter hours. If you go on line and look at the campground you will see that many sites are taken.

Some campsites are posted as taken because I have them tentatively reserved for YOU. I will have to relinquish them to the public in May.

Region 9 hosted a chapter rally in Tucson 2022 and here we go again.

No one can remember the last time we had a rally in the State of Colorado but now we are having our Chapter Rally in the Presidents home state.

Details at the moment:

     “Riverview” campground is nestled next to the Big Thompson River, 10 minutes from Loveland, Colorado. It is about a mile above sea level. We will be located in a circle section near the river and next to the recreational hall. When you call the office for reservation please identify yourself as a Roadtrek International Member for the rally July 20th to 24th.  At this time you could opt to spend a little more $ and be on the river near our circle however you can see the river on the bridge as you cross it entering the camp. There is also a walking trail.

      If you want to get an entry time reserved to go into Rocky Mountain National Park and drive even higher, (like 11,000 feet above sea level) You might want to reserve Thur. night also. High Altitudes may not be an option for those with heart or breathing issues.

         Get your reservation and start planning the rest of your vacation. There are plenty of places to visit in Southern Colorado following I-25 and about 1 hour North on I-25 is Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Prices for everything keep climbing higher and it gets increasingly difficult to have a cheap rally or meet up in a lot of States and Provinces. I am working hard at getting the best deals on everything pertaining to the rally. The estimated rally fee will be close to past costs and announced later. Since campgrounds fill up fast you have the opportunity to get your reservations now. I promise we will have a great time when it comes to having fun, learning new things, and greeting our fellow and new members.
