Poudre Canyon & The Mishawaka Inn June 13, 2017
Posted by nrhatch in Food & Drink, Nature, Travel & Leisure.trackback
On Saturday, we drove through Poudre Canyon and stopped at the Mishawaka Inn for a “lite bite.”
The Mish, an inviting Inn and Concert Amphitheater, is located on the banks of the Poudre River.
The river offers ample whitewater rafting opportunities . . . something we took advantage of a few years back.
The sights and sounds from the back deck are spectacular.
A great spot from which to listen to the river sing.
Notice all the jackets . . . it’s cool in them there hills.
But the sun peeked out from time to time.
And there was a fire inside.
Surrounded by lots of interesting nooks & crannies.
I snapped a few last shots before we hopped back into the car.
With one more for good measure.
Aah . . . that’s better!

Whitewater rafting is something I’m not brave enough to try. Beautiful place!
We loved whitewater rafting when we went (21 years ago) but we didn’t go when the river was running high.
Instead of braving Class 4 and 5 rapids, we enjoyed the less intense thrills offered by Class 2 and 3 rapids.
How lovely! Looks very inviting, as you mentioned.
Sitting above the singing river while sipping, noshing, and chatting was great.
What a lovely place. Nice pics too 😁
Thanks!
My quick snapshots don’t capture the essence . . . especially since you can’t hear the river singing in the background.
Looks so cool and inviting!
When we rode the rapids (back in 1996), we were there on a HOT day in July with warm sun and cool water. Perfect!
This trip, the layers I was wearing were ALL needed. 😀
Being in the moutains must have been so refreshing Nancy! Thanks for sharing this beautiful place. 💛
BFF and I may spend a chunk of the summer there next year ~ we’d like to rent a cabin right on a rushing river for a few weeks.
Beautiful country.
Makes me want to “climb every mountain and ford every stream . . .”
So much fun! I see you do own a coat? LOL! I suppose you don’t get to wear it too often at home! You really did experience an entirely different climate zone. So lovely to see you enjoying your family, Nancy. I’m sure they were sorry to see you and BFF leave for home!
I did hang on to a few jackets and coats “just in case” . . . but they don’t get much use in Florida.
My sister (who lives in Orlando) is in Fort Collins this week ~ the weather is a bit warmer and sunnier than when we were there, but they’re still enjoying campfires in the evening.
I don’t raft, but I wear cool weather jackets. And I’m good at sitting, so all-in-all I think I’d enjoy your adventure. Pretty pics.
You would have been a perfect addition to our deck session!
What a tempting spot for rafting, indeed … or just looking at it and letting the imagination do the rafting!
We did see a few rafters that day . . . but we ran the river using our imagination!
Of course, if one sees rafters while indoors, it means there isn’t a ceiling! 🙂
Good point!
That deck would have been my favorite place too! I can almost hear the river looking at your pictures.
I can sit for hours listening to a rushing stream . . . bliss!
