What exactly would "park touring" entail? I've never been to Colorado, so seeing the sights sounds good to me.

You'll love the area. I'm not going to the event, but if the tour includes the Big Thompson Valley area, don't miss it; simply wonderful. This was sadly a site of a great tragedy in 1976 when a flash flood swept through, but it was and now remains one of my favorite places. enjoy!

I know I signed up my mom and myself for the hayride dinner, so we'll need to redline it back from southern Wyoming later that day. Good thing we'll be heading for that Cowboy State line in the morning.

Scoop on the horse back and the Hay ride from LoveEmBoys:
Horse Back Rides: We're scheduled for the
3:30 Deer Meadows ride -- which is the "easy" ride on the reg form. 13 people registered for that.
4:00 Glacier Basin ride - slightly more challenging ride on reg form. 10 people registered for that.
Riders -- be sure to bring long pants, and absolutely no open-toed shoes for the ride. Hard soled shoes are best (not sneakers in other words)
We can add people, as long as there is space available. Since these are regularly scheduled rides, there MAY be other people on the ride with us, but they might also just take the 10/13 of us out as a group.
And she fussed at me because I'm after the 1 month deadline, thus don't qualify for the group rate technically, but I fussed back harder at her and pointed out that we are also doing the hay ride... so she said she'd just give us the good rate.
Hay Ride:
The question came up on the chat session last week about whether there actually was hay on the wagons or not. Turns out there IS. (yea for the authenticity!) If you have allergies to grass, they recommend you take allergy pills before the ride. We can also bring blankets to lay on top of the hay. If you are allergic to mold -- I really don't think this will be much of an issue, because unless you are opening the bale and separating flakes, if there is any mold in the bales it should just stay put. Regardless, if you have severe allergies and there is no way you want to ride in the wagon, they can provide a map for where the dinner will be and those folks can hike it easily.
The Hayride picks up at the livery at 5:00 pm. So those going on the Glacier Basin ride will just be returning. Those on the Deer Meadows ride should plan to hang out for 30 minutes at the livery. Obviously non-riders going on the hay ride should plan to arrive at the livery between 4:30 and 5 anyhow.

The miniature golf course.

That's just about the most beautiful setting for a miniature golf course I've ever seen! I second my earlier vote for miniature golf. :D
