Heath shares stories from his family's unforgettable vacation to his wife's family's home in Gunnison, Colorado, while Josh jumps in with questions, jokes, and commentary along the way. Heath takes listeners through each day of the trip, from experiencing the incredible Fourth of July parade in Crested Butte and watching a spectacular fireworks show in Gunnison, to waking up before sunrise to watch a small group of hot air balloons launch into the mountain sky. He also recounts an unforgettable ATV adventure through the Rockies to St. Elmo, where they hand-fed friendly chipmunks, a relaxing day exploring downtown Buena Vista before soaking in nearby natural hot springs, and, of course, their favorite tradition—an exhilarating white water rafting trip that remains the highlight of every Colorado vacation.
