The snow has melted, the sun is out and fans of the great outdoors gear up for summer camping. Historic Arapaho Valley Ranch in Granby, Colorado, is a great destination choice. The ranch has a fascinating history involving aviator Charles Lindbergh, who became a close personal friend of former ranch owner and pilot Harry Knight. During his tenure as president of the St. Louis Flying Club, Knight formed a personal friendship with Lindbergh, and went on to build a private airfield at his ranch, used by Lindbergh for his weekend visits to Colorado.

Today, Arapaho Valley Ranch offers a mountain-centric glamping experience that includes a variety of lodging options. Choose from 19 glamping tents crafted of canvas, set on raised wooden platforms, and boasting private decks and firepits. Configurations include one or two queen-sized beds, plus a futon. Additionally, there are three canvas tipis, also on raised decks. Each has a queen bed and two cots, plus bedding.

New this season, adventure travelers can also choose one of two yurts, fitted with two queen beds and a full-sized futon. Yurts also have kitchens equipped with dinnerware, silverware, mugs, utensils, frying pan, camp stove and grill. The kitchen is stocked with a cooler, kettle and French Press.

“With plenty of room to spread out, families and friends groups can enjoy a classic Colorado camping experience without sacrificing creature comforts,” said Hayden Hughes, ranch manager, Arapahoe Valley Ranch. “These yurts are the perfect complement to our glamping tents and tipis.”
Today’s adventure travelers can also choose from other on-ranch accommodations: There are 12 RV sites (some with hookups) and 22 sites for tents. Many campsites are positioned along the banks of the Colorado River’s scenic South Fork.

Jun 3, 2025Now’s the Time to See Giza, the Nile and Beyond
All archaeology-obsessed eyes turned hopefully toward Egypt earlier this year when the highly anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum outside Cairo finally began welcoming visitors after construction delays, funding roadblocks and political upheaval in the region (among other factors) conspired to keep things delayed for many long years. The museum’s cherry on the top is slated to open this summer, with the July opening of the museum’s 20-plus-years-in-the-making Tutankhamen galleries and accompanying cache of some 5,000 artifacts and treasures from the boy king’s tomb.

As I write this letter, I am halfway across the Atlantic Ocean on my return from an epic golf trip in Ireland. The weather was magnificent: sunshine and no rain ... quite unusual by Irish standards. We were happy to leave our rain gear and extra warm clothing in the hotel rooms as we headed out every day.
