The Guided Great House Tour at Chimney Rock National Monument is a personalized tour that really brings the Monument to life. It is offered daily at 10:30 a.m. each morning. This guided tour takes visitors 1/3 mile up the Great Pueblo Trail, making several stops along the way to learn about the ancient Puebloan structures built over 1,000 years ago and their connection to the Chaco culture located 90 miles southwest of this spot. At the end of the trail, visitors will enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view from atop the mesa ridge. They will also be afforded the closest view possible of the two pinnacles: Chimney Rock and Companion Rock. Peregrine falcons are often sighted on the left side of Companion Rock, so cameras are a must!

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

The hike up to the Chacoan Great House Pueblo may be difficult for some due to the steep gradient, uneven footing, and elevation ending at 7600 feet. The elevation gain is 200 feet. Participants should be in reasonable physical condition and willing to hike mostly uphill for 1/3 mile (and return steeply downhill).

Held on most Tuesdays from 4:45 to 7:30pm, this fascinating 2.5 hour guided tour explores both the natural and cultural history of the Chimney Rock area. The tour takes you on a journey through geologic time and incorporates the anthropology and archeology of the Puebloan people who occupied this site more than 1,000 years ago. Participants will learn how to identify the common rocks and fossils in the area. Rock types impact structures, pottery, tools, and soil productivity; geologic processes determine the landscape; and, at Chimney Rock, play a central role in climate. The relationship between the pillars and the South San Juan Mountains in terms of astronomical observations will be discussed. The tour also covers the key points discussed in the archaeological focused tours like the Great House Tour.

SPECIAL SCREENING| 1H 46M | PG 13 | 2015

AUG 26 ONLY

Votes for Women!  A celebration of the 19th amendment.

THE ARCHULETA COUNTY DEMOCRATS ARE HOSTING A SPECIAL SCREENING OF SUFFRAGETTE: CELEBRATING WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE AND THE 105TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 19TH AMENDMENT.

The event at Liberty will feature a 7 minute short documentary on women’s history followed by the screening of Suffragette. Cocktail hour begins when doors open at 6pm with a cash bar and a curated menu of themed cocktails and mocktails at Caldwell’s Liberty Bar.  After the film, door prizes will be awarded.  Each ticket holder will receive one entry for door prizes.

Guests are encouraged to wear “white” to honor the original suffragettes. 

Women’s Equality Day is celebrated annually on August 26 to commemorate the 1920 adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits the states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex. 

MOVIE SYNOPSIS: Suffragette is a powerful drama about the women who were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality in early-20th-century Britain. The stirring story centers on Maud (played by Carey Mulligan), a working wife and mother whose life is forever changed when she is secretly recruited to join the U.K.’s growing suffragette movement. Galvanized by the outlaw fugitive Emmeline Pankhurst (Meryl Streep), Maud becomes an activist for the cause alongside women from all walks of life. Inspired by true events, Suffragette is a moving drama exploring the passion and heartbreak of those who risked all they had for women’s right to vote—their jobs, their homes, their children, and even their lives.

Something Rotten! was hailed by Time Out New York as “the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years”. See the live play at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts, May 30 through August 30.

Not content to let William Shakespeare get all the attention, the conniving but clueless Bottom brothers hatch a plan to cook up the next big stage hit. After an ill-advised trip to see Nostradamus’s food-obsessed nephew, they risk everything to produce what they believe will be the show of the future: the musical! Combining everything you love about Broadway—big dance numbers, bold costumes, and eye-rolling off-stage antics! 7pm. $48. 

More information and tickets visit https://www.pagosacenter.org/

This deliriously funny Broadway hit hurls us back to the 1590s, where the Bottom brothers (Nick and Nigel) are struggling playwrights stuck in the shadow of a guy named Shakespeare. Correct, that Shakespeare, whose ego is matched only by his rhyming couplets. Desperate for a hit, the Bottoms consult a soothsayer named Nostradamus (nephew of that Nostradamus) who peers into the future and sees… musical theatre. Song! Dance! Omelettes!

Yes, omelettes!

What follows is a madcap scramble through showbiz tropes, Shakespearean jabs, and musical theater in-jokes, performed with such gusto and glee that even the Bard himself might drop his quill and start tap-dancing. Imagine ‘Rent’ by way of ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’… with a chorus line.

Directed by Dennis Elkins and choreographed by Pia Wyatt, this production features a crackerjack cast of national talent, plus local talents Hannah Rockensock and Leela Simpson.

No need to brush up on your Broadway knowledge or dust off your Complete Works. ‘Something Rotten!’ is the kind of show that rewards the theatre nerd and welcomes the theatre newbie. The original Broadway production earned 10 Tony nominations and snagged a few statues along the way. But awards aside, this is a show that lives to entertain. It sings. It struts. It scrambles.

And it might just be the funniest thing you see all summer.

The Springs Resort is lighting up your nights with a brand-new weekly experience this summer: an immersive light and music show set entirely in Tufa Turnout, their roman-style pool.

Float beneath the stars as visual projections dance across the steam and sound surrounds you in every direction. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever soaked in.

• Every Wednesday night beginning May 28 from 9-10pm
• Complimentary event for hotel guests, Wellness Day Pass guests, and Ambassador Members
