Activity itinerary

Your guide, Leith Monaghan, will meet guests at the Sheep River Library in Diamond Valley. After signing waivers and discussing details for the day, guests and guide will convoy out to the Sheep River Valley, a 20 minute drive west of town. You will be hiking the Foran Grade loop, a 6.4 km Return (+240 m of elevation). This trail travels along a scenic ridge that provides amazing views of the river valley, rocky outcrops and front range peaks. Guests will be regaled with the history and stories of the Remittance Men and Second Sons that settled in the foothills. Afternoon tea with snacks will provide a well deserved break along the way. After a fantastic day outdoors, guests can return to Diamond Valley. They are eligible for a "local discount" on food and drinks at the Eau Claire Distillery. A fabulous way to end a day outdoors.
