For dad Ahrenholz’s 60th birthday, although a few years late due to covid, we rented an Airbnb in Divide CO near Colorado Springs. Lots of good hikes with around 20 miles and approximately 4,500 feet in elevation gain throughout the long weekend.

We left Clive around 7:00 am and picked up dad in Missouri Valley. Stopped for lunch in Norton, KS at 110 Bar and Grill and had good burgers but the difference maker was the crinkle fries…
