DAY TRIP TO COLORADO GATORS REPTILE PARK WITH MY INLAWS|LIFE IN US VLOG
Another day trip we took with my inlaws! This time we took them at Mosca Colorado to see the Alligators! Kids love this trip so much that they wanted to come back again next time! It was 2 years ago before our last visit here! So this is a good time to come back that way my inlaws can also see it!
I really enjoyed all their big turtles, alligators, birds, fish and big snakes! We also got a chance to take a family picture with Leonardo (Baby Alligator). So that was such a nice day trip!
Thanks for joining us on our adventures and see you again on our next videos! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!

Gators in Colorado | A Must See Travel Tip
Unusual Travel |There Be Gators in Colorado: Just north of Alamosa, Colorado and the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, you can find alligators. Yes, there are gators and crocodiles in Colorado. They live on a farm called the Colorado Gators Reptile Park. They survive by living in warm geothermal ponds (87° F). This farm has become a refuge for unwanted exotic pets, overgrown alligators and other reptiles such as large pythons, tortoises, iguanas, and more. So, if you are ever visiting the Great Sand Dunes National Park or on your way to Durango or New Mexico on Hwy 160 or Hwy 285, make sure to stop by and visit this great animal sanctuary for gators, crocodiles and other exotic animals. It is only 3.5 hours southwest of Denver. Two of their most popular exhibits are the albino alligators, including Mr. Bo Mangles, and Morris the Hollywood alligator from “Happy Gilmore.” You know him, he took Chubb’s hand. Some of the other reptiles you can see at Colorado Gators Reptile Park are: fearsome Nile crocodiles, Burmese pythons, a 17′ reticulated python, anacondas, red tail boas, 3 species of rattlesnakes, monitor lizards, tegus, geckos, iguanas, box turtles, snapping turtles, and caiman. #Travel #Colorado #Gators #GatorFarm

Colorado Gator Farm
Colorado Gator Farm
Colorado Gators in the Cold San Luis Valley
17 miles north of Alamosa on Colorado 17 is Colorado Gators. Founded in 1977 as a tilapia farm, due to the warm artesian spring water, alligators were hired (imported) to biologically get rid of fish remains.
The gators thrived, and so did the tilapia. Colorado Gators is a remarkable study in energy and conservation, and a very successful private business. I addition to the gators, it became a rescue center for exotic reptiles and birds from across the United States. .
It became a Colorado legend and remarkable tourist attraction and education center. It is a must see for Colorado visitors.

Colorado Alligator Farm
Mosca, Colorado 2018
Alligator wrestling? You can do that in Colorado - to help reptiles who need medication
We have to move alligators around and we have to medicate wounds on a regular basis. So we invite the public to come in and help us do our work, Jay Young of Colorado Gators said.
It is a win-win for the gator park. They get help doing something they'd have to do anyway, and members of the public get a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Colorado Gators accepts a large amount of rescue alligators in need of attention and Gatorfest helps to provide the funding and free labor (gator handling) that the farm needs to continue rescuing alligators and other animals. Once a year at the farm all of the alligators are examined, measured and treated for wounds/relocated as necessary.

Film Diaries - Travel Edition: Four Corners + Mesa Verde, CO
Since I've been making monthly video diaries, I felt that this trip, as well as many trips I've had in the past cannot fit into a single month's video diary because it'd create a feature length film, which would take hours to edit and upload. This trip was during a week in late May with three of my closest friends from my home state of Colorado. I am so thankful for them to help create this trip become a reality instead of a random idea in a misty cloud of my own personal thoughts. We four went on an adventure, waking at the crack of dawn to go on a long drive (taking turns of course) to Cortez, as well as other towns in Colorado (such as Durango). The second day we got to explore the area of the Four Corners monument shelling out so much cash for souvenirs and took endless and thousands of photos of one another. We eventually did spend the afternoon in Mesa Verde, and took a tour of the ancient ruins, of historical civilizations. This trip had so many little highlights, such as exploring, playing Mario Kart in the evenings (it gave me a little practice, even if I was horrible at video games lol), as well as soaking in the hot springs at Pagosa Springs, CO. This was a vacation and road trip to remember.
This video had many imperfections and quirks, such as the bouncy camera due to the road, elongated clips of landscape scenery of the beauty of the nature and mountains. These clips are just a way for memorializing the trip itself, and is just used as a work of art to help us remember the trip as is.
much love, -AFH ♡
