Thursday, June 20, 6-8pm
Join us for good food, epic photos, and an inspirational evening that will talk about our upcoming trip to the Annapurna Sanctuary in Nepal this October.
Pemba Sherpa, who was born in the region, will be bringing delicious food from his restaurant in Golden and giving everyone an insider take on what to expect from this life changing trek.
The Annapurna Sanctuary is a shimmering mountain ringed glacier basin. National Geographic ranks it as one #18 in the top 100 most beautiful places in the world.

Coloring Colorado features drawings of some of the state’s iconic peaks, such as Crestone Needle, Lone Eagle Peak, Mount of the Holy Cross, and the Maroon Bells. There are pastoral scenes with wildflowers and aspen trees as well as historical scenes. And there are fun drawings like the much-loved Blue Bear at the Denver Convention Center. For outdoor adventure lovers, there is mountain biking, trail running, rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering and more! This 8.5" x 11" coloring book is fun for anyone from age 3 to 93. While many people will want Coloring Colorado for themselves, it also makes a wonderful gift.
