We are traveling to Saratoga, Wyoming for our 4th year!  This is mid-week tour. This unique 2-day RMR-PCA scenic tour begins on Thursday morning, August, 22nd. in Fort Collins, CO.  The drive route will take us across the east side of Horsetooth Reservoir for a great view of Ft. Collins and the CSU Campus.  The route winds up taking the Rist Canyon, onto Colo. Highway 14 taking us over Cameron Pass (10,276 ft.).  We descend to a large open valley named North Park.  Passing through the town of Walden, CO., we travel north on CO Highway 125 into Wyoming where the road changes to Wyo. Highway 230 and then joins Wyo. 130 to Saratoga, WY (elevation 6,786 ft.). We stay overnight at Wyoming’s premier mineral hot springs and spa destination, the Saratoga Hot Springs Resort.

The resort has everything you need: Snowy Mountain Pub and Biergarten, guest-only soothing mineral hot spring pools and teepee-covered hot pools, vintage western-style rooms and suites, full service spa, restaurant, golf course, fitness center, sport court, gear and equipment rentals.

Upon check in, each guest will get a token for a beer and homemade pretzels in the Biergarten and will have the opportunity to use the pools. 

Lunch is on your own in the pub or you can explore the town of Saratoga for a meal. In the evening we will have a group sit down dinner served in the Silver Saddle Room.

After a leisurely breakfast on your own, Friday at 10 AM we will drive the final leg of the tour via “The Snowy Range Scenic Byway”.  The Byway route rises from 6,786 ft. at Saratoga to a height of 10,847 ft. at the “Snowy Range Pass”.  The drive will then descend to the city of Laramie, WY. finishing the tour at the Wyoming Territorial Prison.  From here, we encourage participants to spend the weekend exploring the wonders of Wyoming or heading back to Saratoga if you took the opportunity to book extra nights at the Saratoga Inn.  Your tour committee will provide a number of suggested activites to consider for a weekend adventure in Wyoming when you receive your tour confirmation email.

Don’t miss this opportunity for a 250-mile, overnight adventure through Colorado and Wyoming’s scenic roads with your friendly Porsche club companions!  Registrationon  opens Saratoga MSR Registration Link June 24th and closes June 28th.  The registration fee includes cocktail reception and dinner on Thursday evening.
