Platoro is about 4.5 hours from us and about 4 hours from you. It's right across the Colorado state line from Chama, NM. I'm not sure if you guys want to go that far so Kris and I are totally up for other suggestions.
If ya'll are interested there's TONS of stuff to do.... lots of places to fish... and the waterfall is an easy 1.5 mile hike (Ciara did it when she was 3 and had no problems).
Let me know what you think and we can start making plans. Other options that I've found on the Colorado side are:
* Mesa Verde State Park (about the same distance... maybe just a bit more). I've been there too and it's really cool! Lots of Native American Ruins. It's a pretty commercialized campground but there are several other camping options within 30 minutes or so.
* Telluride/Ouray are about 5 hours for each of us. TONS of places to camp and it's AMAZING but I'm sure it fills up pretty fast on Labor Day Weekend.
Let me know if ya'll have come up with anything on the New Mexico side. Chama is pretty and I'm sure there's lots of places to camp there. Raton Pass might be another option.
Love you! I'm super excited!
