You can go ahead and make reservations at each of the hotels by calling the numbers I listed or go to www.ihg.com to reserve through Intercontinental Hotels Group. You can also make those reservations through Travelocity or one of those type of sites. Be sure you let me know if you are interested so I can plan and reserve the Raft/Rail trip. The ride to Pikes Peak and the Mollie Kathleen mine are not really something we need to worry about reservations for. If interested, please email Kevin O’Farrell at 47macko@gmail.com. Thanks.
