Fellowship & Fairydust

By Amanda Pizzolatto

You might have all heard of Seven Falls in Colorado Spring, Colorado. It’s owned by the Broadmoor and it’s pretty expensive to get in, but it is a lovely sight. You can even feed the chipmunks and get a shirt that says “I Fed the Chipmunks at Seven Falls.” But if money’s an issue and you still not only want to feed the chipmunks, but also see some lovely scenery – oh, and you don’t mind the drive and hit other lovely places along the way – then maybe a trip to Creede, Colorado is the thing for you. It’s a little town centered between mineral deposits and was a mining town. The mines are still there, but are mostly boarded up, except for one that has been turned into a museum. It’s a cute little place, it only takes a few minutes to get through the town, and there’s a door that’s locked, placed on the side of a hill. Where it leads, no one knows, but it sure is a funny sight to see. The scenery is breathtaking, the hills are alive with bird song, and you can feed the chipmunks in Creede, Colorado.
