Colorado Women’s Week-end

Highlands Presbyterian Camp & Retreat is located in the shadow of Mt. Meeker, which is the lesser peak right next to Long’s Peak, which is over 14,000’ in elevation. It is approximately 20 miles south of Estes Park where we had a Feast site in ’99 & 2000. Even though the facilities are owned by the Presbyterians, many different types of groups utilize the facilities. When we were touring the facility a quilting club was there.

The lodge is well-kept and fairly new. Cabins are in very good condition as well. The personnel are extremely friendly and helpful. The scenery is beautiful! There are hiking trails on the premises and in nearby Rocky Mountain National Park.

There is the main lodge, where our activities and sleeping will take place. There are also cabins a few hundred yards away. We have one of these on hold in the event of a larger turn-out than expected.
