The Dolores River Campground has been awarded a 2015 certificate of excellence on TripAdvisor.

It has received glowing reviews on the site, with comments by users complimenting the friendly, clean atmosphere and many saying that they would definitely be back.

"There are not enough superlatives to describe this park. The owners make you feel like family and go above and beyond to make your stay is the best it can be," says one user from Sedona, Ariz.

A visitor from Canyon Lake, Texas, said that this year was his fourth year visiting and that the campground "just keeps getting better."

Congrats and thank you to the Beyhan family; Billy, Lainey, Bridger, and Heidi for providing such a wonderful place for guests.

Goose pulls them in

There are no shortages of guests in town. The Galloping Goose is receiving lots of photos and attention, as is the Del Rio Hotel.

Tour buses and groups of people decked out in sunglasses and khaki have been prevalent in the past week or two.

There is so much to see and do at this time of year. There are often rafters in the river, and its banks almost always has towels laid out, particularly along the beach across from Joe Rowell Park. Other people have been hitting the lakes and reservoirs for fun filled days of wakeboarding, water skiing, fishing, and tubing. The park always has a smiling face playing on it. Lunch at the Depot has been so busy that the screen door barely has time to shut before another hungry customer opens it, drawn by the drool-worthy smell of a well-cooked burger.

People are taking the road less traveled, adventuring out of town and up around Dunton and Groundhog. The wildflowers up there have gotten an early start and are just beginning to pop up in vast numbers and colors. Peak season lasts through August. It varies, but the third week of July is pretty spectacular to be out exploring above town.
